President Biya and the Trump Dinner: What really happened? 0
The absence of President Biya during a restricted meeting that held yesterday Wednesday September 20, 2017 in New York between some African Heads of State and US President Donald Trump did not go unnoticed.
During the 72nd regular session of the UN General Assembly in New York, Donald Trump invited African heads of state to a dinner on Wednesday, 20 September 2017 and reportedly had a restricted encounter with his African counterparts.
The 85 year old French Cameroun dictator who arrived the US since Sunday September 17, 2017 in New York for the 72nd regular session of the general assembly of the United Nations, was conspicuously absent. Mr. Biya’s absence has provoked a wave of interpretations both at home and abroad.
For some French Cameroun opposition figures, it is a complete and total failure of Cameroonian diplomacy under the leadership of a man referred to as the dean of the Heads of State of the Central Africa sub region. For President Paul Biya acolytes, there is no need making a mountain out of an aunt hill as President Trump is free to choose his guests for a closed circle meeting.
CRTV journalists covering the Cameroonian delegation who had announced the presence of the Cameroonian head of state at the snack offered by Donald Trump have not yet published to explain Paul Biya’s mock absence yesterday at this high level meeting.
Cameroon Concord News understands US President Trump hosted namely Ivorian Alassane Ouatara, Guinean Alpha Condé, Senegalese Macky Sall, South African Jacob Zuma, Nigerian Mohammadou Buhari, Ghanaian Nana Ado Akufo. These leaders are all from countries where power has been changing hands.

Southern Cameroons Crisis: Kupe Muanenguba Chiefs to sign decree banishing Prof. Elvis Ngolle Ngole 0
Traditional rulers from the Great Kupe Muanenguba in Southern Cameroons are deliberating on whether to banish former Minister Elvis Ngolle Ngolle from his native constituency, Cameroon Concord News has learned from a well-placed source within the Bakossi Chiefs Conference. Our informant revealed that the university don has become an embarrassment to the people of Kupe Muanenguba.
One of the traditional rulers who spoke to our Meme correspondent but sued for anonymity said the chiefs were divided on the issue but have been under pressure from the Bakossi Diaspora community to take action against the Biya acolyte who has consistently demonstrated a frightful and unloving attitude towards the suffering peoples of Southern Cameroons.
The Bakossi monarchs in the state of Southern Cameroons have been agents of peace, progress, and prosperity in their respective domain and can no longer tolerate the uterrances of Prof. Elvis Ngolle Ngolle, former Minister of the Environment and Forest who is now being use by the Biya Francophone regime as a tool of disunity and destabilization.
The Chiefs are also expected to make public a warning to all prominent Kupe Muanenguba elites that anyone who fails to show genuine understanding of the current Southern Cameroons crisis stands the risk of having his title withdrawn.
One of the Bakossi rulers from the Tombel County was heard saying that, “Today, history is being made in Southern Cameroons and that light has come and darkness would not comprehend at all. The truth has surfaced and the right people have finally become leaders of Anglophone Cameroon not those who are TB Joshua’s tenants.”
