Three weeks on, no answers: the silence around Eyong Ashu Christy’s death
A young nursing student, Eyong Ashu Christy, was stabbed to death in Kumba. Her name was first reported wrongly, the confusion was corrected, and then every authority that should have acted went quiet.

Cameroonian artists do not lack talent. What many of them lack is strategy. The recent rollout by Cameroonian singer Daphne is a painful reminder of how some artists have reduced music promotion to emotional manipulation, cheap suspense and public confusion. Before July 4, Daphne announced that she was divorcing her husband. The announcement immediately triggered […]
By Shuimo Trust Dohyee Standing on the banks of the Ntem River, a narrow waterway that separates Cameroon from Equatorial Guinea, it is difficult to tell where one country ends and the other begins.

Brenda and Paul Biya

Issa Tchiroma Bakary
Today, 25 June, marks exactly one year since Issa Tchiroma Bakary did something Cameroonian politics almost never sees. He walked away. Power in Cameroon tends to be held until it is lost, defended to the last by men who calculate that loyalty pays better than principle. Tchiroma, then Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, broke […]
Paul Biya
Paul Biya has been pronounced dead more times than most leaders are pronounced anything.

The Hidden Cost of Conflict on Cameroon’s Children
Fru adjusts his school bag and joins the stream of pupils making their way to class to sit for the First School Leaving Certificate. At 13 years old, he should be preparing to enter Form Three.
