Southern Cameroons Crisis: Chaos in Wum as gov’t soldiers, Mbororo militants attack Southern Cameroonians

Southern Cameroons Crisis: Chaos in Wum as gov’t soldiers, Mbororo militants attack Southern Cameroonians 0

Radical Mbororo militants backed by Cameroon government army soldiers have attack the Ghidze community in Wum in Menchum Division causing several women and children to flee as violence and death continue to increase in Southern Cameroons.

Cameroon Concord News gathered that elements of the Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR) and the Mbororo militants reportedly set fire on homes and looted property following a confrontation with Ambazonia Revolutionary Guards. An old business man and owner of Android City Bar was killed and his business consumed by the blaze.

Ever since the war started in 2016, the Mbororos in Wum who hail from French Cameroun have been collaborating with Cameroon government soldiers and carrying out xenophobic attacks against the indigenous Aghem people.

“The Mbororos grazed their cattles inside indigenous Aghem farms and now move around Wum with sophisticated weapons” a source in Wum hinted our correspondent.

The Biya Francophone regime has continued to face sharp criticisms and strong accusations of culpability and complicity in the killings throughout Southern Cameroons.

“Troops loyal to the regime in Yaounde deployed to Menchum Division have so fumbled and compromised that they hardly intervene when the indigenous people are in danger of threats or attacks, but only emerge after such attacks to arrest and frame up the same population threatened or attacked” a retired civil servant who sued for anonimity told Cameroon Concord News.

Southern Cameroons Crisis: Fight for independence is a holy war for the sake of God that will never be compromised

Southern Cameroons Crisis: Fight for independence is a holy war for the sake of God that will never be compromised 0

The Vice President of the Southern Cameroons Interim Government, Dabney Yerima says the Ambazonia people’s efforts to achieve independence from a funny colonial arrangment is uncompromisable.

Urging Ambazonia Revolutionary Guards to continue to counter the French-backed French Cameroun aggression in a speech via video conference on the killing of primary school pupil in Buea on Monday, the exiled Southern Cameroons leader said the people of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia are inspired by the life of their jailed leaders and enlightened by their guidance in the pursuit of putting an end to La Republique du Cameroun’s hegemony of arrogance.

He praised the crowds of Southern Cameroonians who took to the streets of Buea and other Southern Cameroons counties to denounce the presence of Francophone army soldiers in Southern Cameroons territory.

Yerima called on the people of Southern Cameroons to continue their efforts to confront the brutal French Cameroun aggression on Southern Cameroons women and children stressing that every Southern Cameroonian  is religiously obliged to confront the military with firmness until the war is stopped and the aggression and occupation end.

Vice President Dabney Yerima also pointed out that Ambazonian efforts to achieve independence is a holy war for the sake of God that will never be compromised.

The Biya Francophone regime launched a devastating war against the people of Southern Cameroons in 2016 to crush the Ambazonia resistance movement.

The war has failed to reach its goals, but it has killed thousands of Southern Cameroonians and put millions more at risk of starvation by destroying much of Southern Cameroons infrastructure.

Cameroon football legends inspect infrastructure ahead of AFCON

Cameroon football legends inspect infrastructure ahead of AFCON 0

Cameroon football legends began inspecting football infrastructure in the country on Sunday ahead of next year’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The delegation, including former strikers Roger Milla and Samuel Eto’o, visited Japoma Stadium in the commercial hub of Douala, which will host matches when the central African nation hosts the competition next year.

Secretary General of the Presidency and delegation leader Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh said the inspection visit was intended to showcase Cameroon’s readiness to stage the championship.

“We are proud of the infrastructure in our country – everything is modern and well done. Cameroon’s football infrastructure is quite ready to host AFCON,” said Eto’o, a four-time African Player of the Year, during a tour of the stadium.

The biennial football championship will run from January 9 to February 6 with the participation of 24 teams.

Colin Powell dies of Covid-19 complications: family

Colin Powell dies of Covid-19 complications: family 0

Colin Powell, a US war hero and the first Black secretary of state who saw his legacy tarnished when he made the case for war in Iraq in 2003, has died from complications from Covid-19. He was 84.

“We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American,” the family said in a statement posted to social media on Monday.

The retired four-star general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who served four presidents made his reputation as a man of honor distant from the political fray — an asset in the corridors of power.

“General Powell is an American hero, an American example, and a great American story,” George W. Bush said as he announced the nomination of Powell, the son of Jamaican immigrants who became the Republican president’s secretary of state in 2000.

“In directness of speech, his towering integrity, his deep respect for our democracy, and his soldier’s sense of duty and honor, Colin Powell demonstrates… qualities that will make him a great representative of all the people of this country.”

But he found it hard to live down his infamous February 2003 speech to the United Nations Security Council about the alleged existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq — the evidence he presented was later proven to be false.

“It’s a blot… and will always be a part of my record. It was painful. It’s painful now,” Powell said in a 2005 interview with ABC News.

Tributes nevertheless poured in from Congress, where Democratic Senator Mark Warner praised Powell as “a patriot and a public servant,” while House Republican Peter Meijer described him as a rarity in the modern age: “a true soldier statesman.”

The family statement said Powell had been fully vaccinated.

Biya’s job is to lead the two Cameroons into a bloody civil war

Biya’s job is to lead the two Cameroons into a bloody civil war 0

The Chairman of the Cameroon Concord News Group has condemned the statement made public by the Biya Francophone regime on the murder of a primary school pupil in Buea, saying the 86-year-old Biya and his ruling CPDM crime syndicate outfit aims to stoke tensions in Southern Cameroons and plunge the two Cameroons into a civil war.

Soter Tarh Agbaw-Ebai made the comments last week to a cream of Southern Cameroons elites at The Hilton at St George’s Park, Burton Upon Trent in the United Kingdom.

The Concord Group chairman denounced the Yaounde Beti Ewondo regime, stressing that a French Cameroun gendarme committed the crime while Biya bears responsibility for the act.

“Dion Ngute, Paul Atanga Nji and his fake Amba Boys, and all those, who are involved in supporting Biya and the CPDM, are responsible for the blood that has been spilled,” Agbaw-Ebai added.

Soter Agbaw-Ebai furthered, “Biya’s job today is to create a state of internal tension that leads to civil war between French and British Southern Cameroons.”

The Concord chief political man added that the responsibility of the current Southern Cameroons Interim Government headed by Vice President Dabney Yerima is to protect Southern Cameroons citizens.

The SOBA UK 2021 convention went off without hitches and was a huge success

18, October 2021

The SOBA UK 2021 convention went off without hitches and was a huge success 0

This past week, the President of SOBA UK laid out a forceful case for the importance of unity and strong moral character in SOBA UK, his ability to continue on the successful path of SOBA UK President Emeritus Ako Arrey, and the threat that a Midlands chapter would pose to the great SOBA UK family. Did President Egbe Franklin – and his fellow Sasse Old Boys at the 2021 Residential  Convention who echoed his points – do so successfully?  We of the Cameroon Concord News Group think the 2021 Convention at St. Georges Park was a huge success.

Both Egbe Franklin’s convention declaration and the convention as a whole clearly were pitched toward the entire SOBA UK family and even some other Cameroonian groups, particularly in English speaking Cameroon . From the perspective of all the guests including Cameroon’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Egbe Franklin and his Sasse Old Boys led by Joe Foncha performed brilliantly.

Compared to past conventions, SOBA UK’s AGM held via zoom and was comparatively short and provided SOBA UK members enough time to concentrate on the Convention proper. We gathered that Egbe Franklin’s delivery was fluid and heartfelt during the AGM.

The rest of the convention at The Hilton at St George’s Park, Burton Upon Trent went off without hitches or glitches. Other leading Sobans including Chief Dr. Daniel Asua, Dr Enow Humphery and the Chairman of the 2021 organising committee Obale Ebai also spoke effectively and with great rhetoric on the passing to eternity of senior SOBA Sessekou John Tabi.

Overall, the SOBA UK 2021 Residential  Convention sent a strong message that Sasse Old Boys are firmly grounded in their traditions and values and will not make any concessions to any dissident group. To be sure, SOBA UK can be trusted with the development of Sasse College, they can revive prosperity among its members and distribute its benefits more widely to students currently in the academic establishment back home. They intend to increase bereavement package and institute greater social unity.

Holding an AGM before the convention was a huge gamble for the president and his vice, but the success which can now be assessed following the outcome paints a picture of two young SOBA UK leaders with a vision.

SOBA UK has had a good run under Egbe Franklin. Many of SOBA UK best qualities were on display at The Hilton at St George’s Park, Burton Upon Trent and in Egbe Franklin’s speech. We of the Cameroon Concord News and the Cameroon Intelligence Report are hoping we’ll have more conventions like that in the future.

Football: Newcastle fans celebrate new Saudi era in spite of rights concerns

Football: Newcastle fans celebrate new Saudi era in spite of rights concerns 0

Jubilant Newcastle fans descended on St James’ Park on Sunday to celebrate a new era for the club under the ownership of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund with few showing concern for the issues raised by human rights groups over the takeover.

Hundreds of supporters sported traditional Saudi headdress and flew flags of the Gulf kingdom ahead of the Magpies’ first match since a £300 million ($412 million) takeover was given the green light by the Premier League.

The protracted deal had been held up for over a year by a dispute over piracy of sports rights, including for English top-flight football, between Saudi and Qatar.ADVERTISINGhttps://8c753c88bbf2a44252e3b56fe4d3ee18.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

Saudi’s agreement to lift a ban on Qatari sports broadcaster beIN Sports cleared that obstacle, but the deal has been criticised by human rights groups.

Amnesty International has accused Saudi Arabia of using the global appeal of the Premier League to “sportswash” its reputation.

The fiancee of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed inside the Saudi consolate in Istanbul in 2018, has described the takeover as “heartbreaking”.

A billboard with the hashtag #justiceforjamal was driven in front of St James’ Park in the hours before kick-off.

But there was little other sign of protest as Newcastle fans celebrated the departure of unpopular former owner Mike Ashley and dreamt of a transformation of their fortunes on the field.

“We’ve been waiting for this for 14 years. The atmosphere is immense, I haven’t seen it like this for years,” said Chris, a fan dressed in Saudi headdress.

“I’m just excited for the new era in Newcastle, you can feel it everywhere.”

Governor of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, Yassir Al-Rumayyan, was handed a huge ovation by the 55,000 crowd as he was presented as the club’s new chairman before kick-off.

Newcastle have not won a major trophy since 1969 despite regular attendances of more than 50,000.

“It doesn’t matter where the money comes from, as long as we win something,” said another supporter, Rob McCafferty.

The club from northeast England began the day second bottom of the table, without a win in their opening seven league games of the season.

However, the fans are already dreaming big as they aim to follow in the footsteps of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, two clubs transformed by state-backed takeover from Abu Dhabi and Qatar respectively.

On top of being linked with a host of star players in the January transfer market, supporters are keen to replace manager Steve Bruce.

“The manager is the first thing,” said another fan, Sam Gardner. “Ideally (Antonio) Conte, but I don’t know if he is interested.”

Massacre of the Holy Innocents: In Loving Memory of  Louise Ndialle

Massacre of the Holy Innocents: In Loving Memory of  Louise Ndialle 0

Our dear sky daddy,aka Heavenly Father has given all of us life.That life is sacred.He has placed so much value in  life by commanding that “thou shall not kill”All we have to do is develop,harness,improve on this life so that we can present our bodies to him holy,acceptable as a living sacrifice.

God gives a chance to a little girl to live,grow and eventually contribute to society.A mature man,well equipped with arms handed to him by a rock state decides to prematurely terminate the life of our baby.

A Police officer 9 months ago had beaten to death a motorcycle rider at Bellow Foncha,Bamenda still on control palaver.If sanctions have to come from the delinquent state it will never.There’s complicity in the action of state and it agents in devaluing lives leaving the people to fight their battles.

All we now see is a huge machinery of defence and justification from some colleagues and Yaounde hierarchy, no sympathy,no excuses but provocative words blaming the lady,driver etc.What warranted  the release of bullets.

We know that the main issue in a control is not whether the driver has got all the papers but whether he has given money.We systematically arrived at an unfortunate level whereby money must be given, papers or not.We don’t eat documents they say.Officially carrying arms is now a license to kill.Let the state proof us wrong.

‘It is indeed different’: SOBA UK ANNUAL RESIDENTIAL CONVENTION kicks off with emphasis on unity

‘It is indeed different’: SOBA UK ANNUAL RESIDENTIAL CONVENTION kicks off with emphasis on unity 0

The SOBA UK 2021 Annual Residential Convention started on Friday with a star-studded lineup and heavy emphasis on unity aimed at presenting a new picture of the association as the best hope for all Sasse ex-students in the UK and even beyond.

SOBA UK’s three-day Annual Residential Convention has been entirely reshaped by the Franklin Egbe administration and named “Appreciating Community Spirit.”

The event has once again drawn hundreds of guests including members of the Sasse Old Boys family to The Hilton at St George’s Park, Burton Upon Trent for days of celebrating, intellectual discourse and development politicking.

Sobans are scheduled to formally accept all decisions reached at the last convention in Colchester.

“There’s no doubt about it – it is indeed different,” a senior Soban from the USA, hinted Cameroon Concord News.

The programming has been arranged to reflect the depth of SOBA UK’s way forward beginning 2022.

Fully vaccinated foreign visitors can enter US from Nov 8

Fully vaccinated foreign visitors can enter US from Nov 8 0

The United States announced Friday that it will allow entry to foreign travelers who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, by both land and air, starting November 8.

“This policy is guided by public health, stringent, and consistent,” tweeted White House assistant press secretary Kevin Munoz in announcing the news.

In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, US borders were closed after March 2020 to travelers from much of the globe, including the European Union, Britain and China, India and Brazil. Overland visitors from Mexico and Canada were also banned.

The months of restrictions led to both personal and economic suffering.

Under the new policy that was outlined last month, vaccinated air passengers will need to be tested within three days before travel, and airlines will be required to put in place a contact tracing system.

Earlier this week, a White House source said the land border opening would happen in two phases.

Initially, vaccines will be required for “non-essential” trips — such as visiting family or tourism — though unvaccinated travelers will still be allowed into the country for “essential” trips as they have been for the last year and a half.

A second phase beginning in early January 2022 will require all visitors to be fully vaccinated to enter the United States by land, no matter the reason for their trip.
