This is an occasion to show how we are tired. We are tired of killings in all parts of Cameroon, high standard of living, insecurity, inadequate provision of basic necessities like water, electricity, health care, and many more “

“Mothers of Nation” is calling on Cameroonians to dress in black and join in an ecumenical service Monday, March 8th to pray for the souls of those that have died or killed due to the government’s incompetence.
