Maga, située dans le département de Mayo Danay, dans l’extrême nord du Cameroun, est principalement connue pour la pêche, mais les jeunes locaux souhaitent également mettre en avant le handball, lors d’une rencontre sportive.

Le tournoi de l’amitié Maga 2024 a débuté sous le haut patronage du sous-préfet de l’arrondissement, avec le soutien du maire de la commune de Maga et de son équipe, et sous la supervision de l’experte Mme Laetitia Estarellas-Bahloul et sa famille. Les équipes participantes sont :

– Cameroun Handball Académie (sous-pôle de Mokolo)
– Mora Handball
– Yagoua Handball
– Kaele Handball
– Maga Handball Académie

Le match d’ouverture opposait Mora Handball à Maga Handball Académie chez les juniors hommes, remporté 14-09. Le deuxième match, chez les juniors femmes, mettait en scène Cameroun Handball Academy contre Maga Handball Académie, remporté par l’équipe hôte 16-05.

La population de cette localité a massivement répondu présente à cette rencontre sportive, montrant ainsi son soutien aux handballeurs locaux et contribuant à la réussite de cette fête sportive.

Mimi Mefo Info (MMI) is an Independent online news reporting network based in the UK, Germany & Cameroon. We have reporters across most of Cameroon’s ten regions, bringing you independent news on a daily basis. MMI is not affiliated with any government or organisation. As such, we report the news with objectivity, aiming to encourage freedom of the press and expression, hold authorities to account, and encourage a system of citizen journalism where Cameroonians from all works of life can get their stories told.

Despite the hostile media environment in Cameroon, where journalists are constantly, harassed, arrested, or killed, MMI believes that the only way to overcome this is to create a structure of reporting, where journalists are free to work, without jeopardising their safety. Hence, while MMI is registered in the UK and has its top management out of Cameroon, the journalists who cover the news on a daily basis are resident across different regions of Cameroon.

MMI also covers news of interest across different countries in Africa and the globe. Often, these are stories that have been authenticated by local media sources. The objective is to amplify the voices of others in these countries and provide the Cameroonian audience with up-to-date happenings in other areas of the continent and the world.

We believe that information is power and should be used in shaping society for the good of everyone. We believe that everyone stands to benefit when we embrace and value the diversity of thoughts, ideas, and ways of working that people from different backgrounds, experiences, and identities bring.
