🚨The situation in Buurhakaba is extremely dire.
Nearly 40% of children under five are acutely malnourished or worse.
The risk of catastrophe is real and rising fast.
Urgent support is needed now to prevent the worst❗#Somalia
Today, we @WFP celebrate Resilience.
Resilience forged by multiple crises.
Somalia’s journey through food insecurity is nothing short of lessons and best practices on what happens when a country refuses to give up on its land.
Ngonnso, the revered queen mother and founder of the Nso people, is finally being returned to Cameroon after 120 years. Her statue, taken during the colonial era, is a vital part of Nso history and spiritual life.
For more on her story, watch Episode 1 of Restitution 101.
We are excited to affirm our commitment to the work we do with children. Our Child Protection policy has now been updated - version 3.0 is now available. A huge thank you to our colleagues from the Bamenda Office @SamuelAtigi - Head of Office and @Mercy_Fai - Consultant for the good job.

The delay to physically return Ngonnso and other heritage is reopening wounds and pain we had all thought would be healed soon. We approached Germany despite being the victims, we didn’t ask for too much but our heritage. They claimed to be empathetic, they claimed to have understood the urgency, some looked at the King and made promises. Here we are - gradually getting back to the depression, to the reality that no one is really willing to match words and signed documents with actions.

How much more should the people of Nso wait before they reunity with their spiritual leader? or maybe they don't have the same equal right like the rest of the people, cos they are not European? We will never stop until the rights to African's culture is treated same as others.

Indigenous games are vital part of our cultural heritage, yet over time it’s loosing its place to contemporary games and globalization.
We are excited to announce REGARTLESS’s next edition of indigenous games tournament for children in primary education affected by the on going armed conflict in Bamenda on the 29th and 30 of May
We continue to revive these games for prosterity, taping into its potential to enhance social cohesion and intercultural dialogues in Cameroon . Children have the right to their cultural heritage and deserve safe spaces to bond.
This year’s edition brings together 40 participants. We are looking forward to an exciting session with the pupils and other sports officials.
During our International museum day open conversation under the theme: "Museums and Decolonization within the Context of Neocolonialism", Dr. Mbuh Dora who was one of our panelists made a clear cut for why we have to value, use and protect our cultural spaces.
“Traditional Cultural spaces serve similar purposes as museum spaces – spaces of learning and exchanges. However, in the context of Africa, traditional cultural spaces are also heritages that need to be protected and promoted more than we are doing now.
We must rethink and revalue our cultural spaces: these are the only places where the interests of communities are protected. If museums and traditional cultural spaces must find common ground, we must go back to the drawing board and start having conversations like we do today.”
