Victim Lying Dead On The Ground   By Raymond Dingana  Electric poles which appear more like death traps, given their rotten nature, are found in many communities around Cameroon. While some have already collapsed to the ground, others are still standing, perhaps waiting to fall on any unlucky individual. The presence of these rotten poles is not only a danger to the population, but also to workers of the electricity company who from time to time climb them to carry out work. On Saturday, June 6, 2026, an electrician died after a tragic accident in the Messassi neighbourhood of Yaounde. The victim was on an electric pole carrying out some work when the rotten pole collapsed, sending him crashing to the ground. He died on the spot. The incident has triggered a barrage of comments about the condition of these poles, which are found in many neighbourhoods across the country. Electric Pole Waiting To Fall On An Unlucky Individual  While these utility poles continue to exist in...

SDF @ 36 Anniversary Celebrations In Bamenda  By Raymond Dingana Born on May 26, 1990, in Bamenda, the Social Democratic Front (SDF) was once a vibrant political party with strong support from the grassroots. However, it is now a shadow of its former self. The SDF was once a major force to be reckoned with, the biggest headache for Cameroon’s ruling party, the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM). That changed when the Anglophone Crisis began. How the Anglophone Crisis Targeted the SDF Separatist groups in Anglophone Cameroon treated the SDF as if it had caused the crisis. As a result, they made life difficult for SDF members. Many militants were forced to flee, as efforts to weaken and destroy the party began. Even the party chairman at the time, Ni John Fru Ndi, was not spared. He was kidnapped twice by suspected separatist fighters. First kidnapping happened while he was traveling to Sop in Jakiri, Bui Division, North West Region. He was going to bury the late Member of ...

Meta Fons Performing Rituals Against Those Scheming To Divide Mbengwi    By Raymond Dingana  The planned creation of MBENGWITEGHENIBI village in Mbengwi, capital of Momo Division in Cameroon’s North West Region, has triggered protests and tension across the Meta communities. The issue followed a Prefectoral Order that went viral shortly before the celebrations of Cameroon’s 54th National Day. The order, dated 13 December 2025 and signed by the Momo Senior Divisional Officer (SDO), Mr Fouda Etabe Benoit was reported to have only become known to Mbengwi inhabitants only a few days before the National Day.  For many people in Mbengwi and surrounding areas, the timing and process raised serious worries especially what they described as the absence of consultation with traditional authorities. Residents protest with placards Angry residents from Ku, Mbengwi and other Fondoms took to the streets holding placards with messages such as:   “No new villages without c...

Labour Day Parade At the Bamenda Commercial Avenue  By Raymond Dingana On May 1, 2026, workers in Bamenda despite working under precarious conditions, gathered at the Bamenda Commercial Avenue Grandstand to commemorate International Labour Day with the theme: Social Dialogue and Decent Work, Factor of Peace, National Cohesion and Economic Development of the Company. Seeing them dressed in the beautiful colours they carried that day, one would think everything was fine. However, many had gone to celebrate Labour Day despite months of unpaid salaries, yet they still showed up at the ceremonial ground early in the morning, smiling widely while clearly enduring hardship. Among those walking past the grandstand with smiles were members of the transport sector. One of their leaders could be seen marching military style with as if all were well. Transport workers say they face daily challenges that have not been addressed since they began raising them. The 2026 edition of Labour Day, they...

MoMo Operators Protesting In Limbe After Killing Of Their Colleague By Raymond Dingana  Crime in Cameroon has reached a crescendo, with observers suggesting that Cameroon may soon become the capital of crime in the CEMAC zone. This is due to the level of crime in the country. If people are not gunned down, as in the case of Limbe, where a mobile money operator was killed, it is news about kidnapping for ransom in Anglophone Cameroon and other parts of the country. If women and minors are not raped and murdered, or if a lifeless body is not discovered with missing body parts, then it is a grave that has been desecrated. The list is long. While security forces do their best to arrest the situation, observers still think their efforts are not enough, as crime seems to be on a steady increase in the country.  Recently, sadness gribbed the entire mobile money operator family in Limbe, Fako Division, South West Region of Cameroon following the killing of one of theirs, Arrah Agbor B...

  Burn Construction Machine In Mile 4 Nkwen, Bamenda III Municipality  By Raymond Dingana If there is a municipal council in Bamenda Central that has paid close attention to road tarring, it is the Bamenda III Council. Many roads have been tarred in Nkwen, Bamenda III, and work is still ongoing on some other roads. In Bamenda III, road tarring includes double surface dressing.   But while Bamenda III continues road projects, some people in the area say there are anti-development agents trying to thwart the council’s efforts. On the night of Sunday, May 3, to Monday, May 4, gunmen burned a compactor used for the municipality’s road works. Reports from the area say gunshots where heard just before the machine set ablaze. The population came out as one man to quench the fire. This happened while a road construction worker who was kidnapped on Saturday, April 25, 2026 is still in captivity. Some reports say that two workers were kidnapped. Bamenda III Council Roads Under...
