The population of Njirong, a village in Ndu Sub Division, Northwest Region of Cameroon have taken their long-standing land grievances with the Ntumbaw people to the governor. This they say is because the Divisional Officer of Ndu has failed to broker the conflict and shown no signs of interest in handling the matter. The land crisis dates far back as the early 1970s and has recorded enormous loss of lives and properties.

HYSACAM sanitation workers in Bamenda, North West Region have threatened to down their tools. They have cited the lack of adequate health insurance as well as poor working conditions. Should they push through, it will be the fifth strike in 24 months.
