Traditional rulers of the Upper Nkam Division in the West Region of Cameroon have assured users of the Bafoussam-Banja stretch that it is ready for repair works. The custodians of the tradition of the Upper Nkam people, today performed libation on the stretch that got broken days ago.

Barrister Martina Ajie Azaah says peace will remain a mirage if propaganda continues as a tool for belligerent parties, instead of the quest for a genuine solution to the crisis in Cameroon.

The solicitor was speaking in Limbe at a roundtable conference on common-sense Solutions to promote peace in Cameroon.

The Popular Action Party (PAP) wants Cameroonians to massively condemn in the strongest terms the recent tribal confrontation in Sangmelima in the Dja and Lobo Division, South Region of Cameroon.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin will co-host the first-ever Russia-Africa summit this week with Egyptian leader Abdul Fattah al-Sisi. The slogan of the gathering is “For peace, security and development”, and it brings the heads of at least 47 African states to Russia, in what is considered a symbol of Moscow’s efforts to establish itself as a dominant global player on the continent. Putin has made a distinction between what he called Russia’s “positive” agenda on the continent and the “geopolitical games” of others.

Footage of Tanzania’s President John Magufuli delivering a speech was shown on television on Sunday following speculation about his health.

A UN study has found that African migrants make the perilous journey to Europe because their economic aspirations aren’t being met in their own countries.

A total of 58% of those interviewed for the survey were employed but half of them said they weren’t earning enough.

At least three Somali soldiers are missing after a boat carrying troops sank in the Indian Ocean on Sunday evening, residents say. A total of 14 soldiers have been rescued while search operation for the missing soldiers ensues.
