Inclusion Must Be Deliberate, Not an Afterthought

The recent appointments within the National Assembly have once again sparked concerns about the representation of Anglophones in key national institutions. While appointments are the prerogative of those entrusted with leadership, they also send important signals about inclusion, national cohesion, and the place of different communities within the State.

Concerns about representation were further reinforced when the maiden address to Parliament by the Speaker of the National Assembly was delivered entirely in French, unlike that of the President of the Senate, who addressed the nation in both official languages. In a country that prides itself on bilingualism and multiculturalism, such symbolic gestures matter and contribute to public perceptions about inclusion and belonging.

For many Anglophones, these appointments are not viewed in isolation. They are seen as part of a broader and recurring pattern that has characterized public appointments across several sectors of national life. Whether in state corporations, public institutions, strategic government agencies, boards, commissions, or senior administrative positions, concerns about equitable representation continue to surface.

This is not a new debate.

For decades, Anglophones have raised concerns about marginalization and underrepresentation. These concerns were among the issues that contributed to the grievances raised by teachers and lawyers in 2016 and continue to feature prominently in discussions on national cohesion today. Numerous reports have been written, memoranda submitted, conferences organized, and discussions held on the need to ensure that all components of Cameroon are adequately represented in the management of public affairs. The objective has never been to seek privilege or special treatment, but rather fairness, inclusion, and equal opportunity.

Unfortunately, many Anglophones continue to feel that their participation in national decision-making structures is often treated as an afterthought. When appointments are made and entire communities struggle to see themselves reflected in the outcome, feelings of exclusion inevitably grow. Such perceptions, whether real or perceived, do little to strengthen national unity and confidence in public institutions.

The issue extends beyond any single appointment. It concerns the broader question of how Cameroon manages its diversity. Our country is strongest when every citizen and every community feels that they have a stake in its future and a place at the decision-making table.

Inclusion should not be viewed as a concession. It is a cornerstone of good governance, national integration, and sustainable peace. A nation as diverse as Cameroon cannot afford to leave any segment of its population feeling overlooked or undervalued.

The solution is not resentment but a renewed commitment to fairness and balanced representation. Those entrusted with leadership at every level should be intentional in ensuring that appointments reflect the rich diversity of our nation. Doing so strengthens institutions, promotes trust, and reinforces the idea that every Cameroonian matters.

As we continue to build the Cameroon we want, the message remains simple: inclusion must be deliberate, not accidental; meaningful, not symbolic; and consistent, not occasional.

Only then can we truly speak of a united nation in which all citizens feel represented, respected, and valued.

The National Commission for the Promotion of Bilingualism and Multiculturalism has an important role to play in addressing such concerns. Many Cameroonians will look to the Commission to uphold the principles of bilingualism, inclusion, and equitable representation that lie at the heart of our national compact. Beyond monitoring language use, the Commission should continue to promote a national culture in which every citizen, regardless of linguistic or regional background, feels fully represent.

[MMI News @MimiMefoInfo]

From his exile in The Gambia, Issa Tchiroma Bakary addressed the nation once again on Monday evening. The FSNC leader, who claims victory in the October 12, 2025 presidential election with nearly 70% of the vote, dropped a figure that is causing shockwaves: 80 trillion CFA francs allegedly embezzled by Paul Biya's regime over 46 years in power. He put the amount into perspective himself, noting that Cameroon’s cumulative national budget over the same period stands at around 114 trillion CFA francs.

“This regime is a regime of bandits,” he declared, vowing to send those responsible to prison if he comes to power.

But the question still on everyone's mind is this: Will Tchiroma return, and when? His close associates had hinted at an imminent return. Yet tonight, he sidestepped the issue, instead calling on the people to take action themselves: “You must take responsibility for driving these embezzlers out.”

For his supporters, the message is disappointing. For his critics, it reinforces what they see as a familiar posture: that of a leader who prefers to command from the shores of Banjul.

The Paul Biya regime’s terror campaign against Anglophones knows no bounds. Storming Banso Baptist Hospital, traumatizing patients, and cutting off medical care is a war crime. The international community CANNOT keep looking away. Act now! #Cameroon #AnglophoneCrisis

[Cameroon News Agency (CNA) @CMRNewsAgency]

Patients, caregivers and staff of Banso Baptist Hospital (BBH) are still reeling from shock after BIR soldiers stormed the hospital from 1AM to 4AM Monday morning.

According to a source CNA spoke to, patients were roughly shaken out of their beds at BBH as the soldiers surreptitiously went from ward to ward in search of suspected wounded separatist fighters.
Staff on night shift were asked to leave their wards unattended for nearly four hours as the soldiers carried out their unannounced search. Many patients who needed to be administered their medication, missed their morning dose which can lead to drug resistance and even death for some bacterial and viral infections. We learned that some caregivers’ and patients’ phones were also confiscated by the soldiers.

Today’s military search at BBH is in clear violation of Article 18 of the Geneva Convention which Cameroon is a signatory to. Article 18 of the Convention states that “Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict”. The Convention further states that “In view of the dangers to which hospitals may be exposed by being close to military objectives, it is recommended that such hospitals be situated as far as possible from such objectives” and BBH is several hundred meters away from Tobin where the BIR camp in Kumbo is located. While no separatist fighters were found in the hospital, today’s military operation by state forces put the lives of nurses, doctors, patients and their caregivers at great risk because it risked turning a civilian Christian hospital into a battleground.

On May 6, state forces stormed BBH, firing live rounds inside the hospital and destroying property worth hundreds of thousands CFA and leaving staff and patients traumatized.

The president of Cameroon and his wife left the country this morning, but one thing was noticeable.

The people who greeted him—Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute and the Secretary General at the Presidency, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh—were trigger-happy.

However, the people going to White man’s country had different expressions on their faces.

Chantal Biya's expression says it all. She looked disturbed. This is a woman who, when she is out on public occasions, is always smiling and waving at the crowds.

But today, something looks weird; whatever that is may have pissed her off.

Papa has always maintained a certain demeanor since he grew older.

Today's picture showed him looking serious. The instructions he was handing down to Ngoh Ngoh and Dion Ngute were definitely "high."

They say they are going to Europe. What for? We don't know.

This journey comes after several rumors that President Biya was refusing to travel. There were reports of his aircraft sitting at the airport for weeks.

The last time he left the country was before the 2025 presidential election.

According to information received by our newsroom, the provisional detention of Aloys Parfait Mbvoum has just been extended by an additional six months. Another major setback for the political leader, who has been held behind bars for several months without being brought before a judge.

President of the Republican Front and a former senior member of the SDF, Parfait Mbvoum has been detained at Kondengui Central Prison in Yaoundé since November 27, 2025. His arrest, carried out discreetly during the night, came amid the post-election crackdown that followed the October 2025 presidential election, due to his active support for Issa Tchiroma Bakary, the FSNC candidate.

Despite the release of several other figures arrested in the same context, including his political ally Emmanuel Ntonga, Parfait Mbvoum remains in custody. The lack of transparency surrounding the exact charges against him has fueled claims that his detention is politically motivated and aimed at sidelining an opposition figure considered too influential.

Several personalities and organizations have called for his release, describing his detention as political in nature. From his prison cell, he has accused certain security officials of procedural violations and infringements on his fundamental rights. A father of ten children, he has now been separated from his family for more than seven months.

🛑SÉRAIL - SELON JEUNE AFRIQUE, PAUL BIYA A ÉTÉ VICTIME D’UN MALAISE AU PALAIS DE L’UNITÉ LORS DES CÉLÉBRATIONS DU 20 MAI.

Comme le veut le protocole républicain, le chef de l’État avait présidé le défilé militaire et civil au Boulevard du 20 Mai avant de recevoir plusieurs centaines d’invités triés sur le volet au palais présidentiel : membres du gouvernement, diplomates, hauts gradés, responsables administratifs, opérateurs économiques et personnalités politiques. C’est au cours de cette réception, considérée comme l’un des moments les plus symboliques du cérémonial présidentiel camerounais, que la situation aurait brutalement basculé. D’après les informations rapportées par Jeune Afrique, Paul Biya aurait soudainement chuté sous les regards médusés des invités présents. Immédiatement, les éléments de la Direction de la sécurité présidentielle (DSP) seraient intervenus pour verrouiller totalement la zone et empêcher toute circulation d’informations ou d’images. Des médecins auraient été appelés en urgence afin de prendre en charge le président de la République, rapidement conduit vers les services médicaux du palais. La scène aurait provoqué un véritable choc parmi les convives, certains responsables craignant immédiatement une aggravation de l’état de santé du chef de l’État, âgé de 93 ans. Toujours selon le journal, le secrétaire général de la présidence, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, aurait demandé avec fermeté aux invités de ne rien divulguer sur l’incident, évoquant d’éventuelles sanctions contre toute personne qui ferait fuiter des informations.

Dans le même temps, les équipes techniques de la CRTV auraient interrompu la retransmission des images de la réception présidentielle afin d’éviter que la scène ne soit diffusée au grand public. Quelques minutes plus tard, la Première dame Chantal Biya aurait pris la parole pour tenter de calmer l’atmosphère et encourager les invités à poursuivre la réception malgré la tension palpable. Mais derrière les murs du Palais de l’Unité, les inquiétudes seraient restées vives. Si certains responsables du sérail présidentiel ont parlé auprès de Jeune Afrique d’un simple « coup de fatigue », d’autres sources citées par le média décrivent un malaise plus sérieux, nécessitant une surveillance médicale constante. Le magazine affirme même qu’une évacuation sanitaire vers la Suisse aurait été envisagée dans les heures ayant suivi l’incident. Cette hypothèse n’apparaîtrait pas totalement nouvelle dans les cercles du pouvoir. Quelques jours avant les célébrations du 20 mai, des discussions autour d’un éventuel séjour médical de Paul Biya en Suisse circulaient déjà dans certains cercles proches de la présidence. Selon le média panafricain, un avion spécial aurait même été préparé à cet effet avant que le président ne refuse finalement le déplacement.

Autre élément troublant évoqué par le journal : le chef de l’État aurait reçu peu avant le 20 mai une note confidentielle des services de renseignement américains alertant sur des risques sécuritaires au Cameroun. Un contexte particulièrement sensible qui aurait contribué à renforcer les préoccupations au sommet de l’État. Ces révélations relancent inévitablement les interrogations persistantes autour de l’état de santé réel du président camerounais. Au pouvoir depuis 1982, Paul Biya demeure l’un des chefs d’État les plus âgés au monde en exercice. Depuis plusieurs années, chacune de ses apparitions publiques fait l’objet d’analyses minutieuses, tant au sein de l’opinion publique que dans les chancelleries étrangères. Pour l’heure, aucune communication officielle de la présidence de la République n’est venue confirmer ou infirmer les informations publiées par Jeune Afrique. Ce silence du pouvoir alimente déjà spéculations, inquiétudes et débats au sein de la classe politique camerounaise, dans un contexte où la question de la succession présidentielle reste plus sensible que jamais.

Another electricity protest has rocked Buea this morning as residents of Chief Street Molyko emptied into the streets, blocking the main road around NFC Bank to demand electricity.

The protesters, mostly young people, say the neighborhood has been in darkness for several months and the electricity company SOCADEL seems not to care at a crucial moment when students are preparing for end-of-course examinations.

Previous protests in other neighbourhoods in Buea and elsewhere in the South West region often forced the electricity company to urgently reinstate power.

The figures are there, published in black and white in the transparency reports that Glencore submits every year to British authorities. Between 2024 and 2025, the Anglo-Swiss trader paid 18.5 billion CFA francs to Cameroon for its sole asset in the country, the Bolongo project in the Rio del Rey basin. Of that amount, less than 5 billion CFA francs came from corporate profit taxes. The rest consisted of production entitlements paid to the state through the Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures.

What these figures do not directly reveal is the trajectory behind them. In 2024, Glencore declared payments of 12.1 billion CFA francs to Cameroon. In 2025, that figure fell to 6.5 billion CFA francs — a drop of nearly half in just one year. During the first nine months of 2025, oil production attributable to Glencore in Cameroon had already fallen to 122,000 barrels, compared with 176,000 during the same period in 2024, representing a 31% decline. Over the full year, production stood at 161,000 barrels, down from 201,000 in 2024.

The broader context makes the picture even worse. According to the 2026–2028 Economic and Budgetary Programming Document from Cameroon’s Ministry of Finance, the country’s oil revenues declined by more than 21% in 2024, falling to 688.7 billion CFA francs from 877 billion a year earlier. Bolongo is only one symptom of a sector that is steadily losing momentum.

The comparison with Equatorial Guinea is striking. In 2025 alone, Glencore paid more than 120 billion CFA francs there — nearly nineteen times what it paid Cameroon over the past two years combined. The gap reflects both far larger production volumes and the much higher valuation of Equatorial Guinea’s oil and gas assets.

Perenco has operated the fields since 2018, when Glencore transferred 50% of its rights in Bolongo along with the operator role. At the time, the stated ambition was to add around 10,000 barrels per day through the development of the Oak field. Eight years later, the reality is very different: a declining asset, falling volumes, and shrinking revenues. The SNH has since reopened the Bolongo Exploration block to new investors under its 2025 licensing round, and Octavia Energy Corporation was ultimately awarded the block to negotiate a new production-sharing contract.

Glencore is quietly leaving. And behind its departure, one question remains unanswered: what did Cameroon truly gain from fifteen years of exploitation in Rio del Rey?
