Djeukam Tchameni, a Cameroonian politician, has publicly declared “je plaide coupable” in a lengthy tribune released from his prison cell, stating that he is “coupable d’avoir consacré ma vie à son pays.” The statement, posted while he remains incarcerated, serves as a personal admission of dedication rather than a formal legal plea.
The tribune, described by the author as “longue,” was published by the politician himself from behind bars. In it, Tchameni emphasizes that his sense of guilt stems from having devoted his entire life to serving Cameroon, rather than from any specific criminal charge.
Cameroon, a Central African nation, has experienced a series of high‑profile arrests of political figures in recent years, prompting both domestic and international attention to the country's judicial processes.
While Tchameni’s words convey a moral acknowledgment of his commitment to the nation, the article does not provide details about the legal accusations, the length of his sentence, or the status of any ongoing trial.
As the case develops, observers note that the politician’s self‑characterization as “coupable” reflects his personal perspective, and no further official statements have been released regarding the charges that led to his imprisonment.
