First African woman Vice-Chair in the ICC’s century-old history. 💃🏽💃🏽
My unfiltered, truth-to-power voice just got a much louder platform! Thanks for the trust @iccwbo!!
I personally think a lot of Cameroonians don’t grow because of pride and being too comfortable, everyone feels like they are bigger than the other. People are losing opportunities because they are too big to talk,to people that can actually put them on.
Pope Leo XIV was in Bamenda in conflict-hit northwest Cameroon, urging peace in a region beset by deadly fighting between separatists and government forces.
Al Jazeera’s Nic Haque says worshippers risked dangerous journeys to see the Pope.

The crowd is estimated at 70,000 Catholics and Christians from several denominations (Baptist, Presbyterian and Muslims).✝️
This is the loudest and most passionate I have heard Pope Leo speak.
In his speech in English at the Cameroon peace meeting, he raised his voice to say:
“God has never abandoned us!”
🇨🇲 À Bamenda, dans la région Nord-Ouest du #Cameroun, des milliers des personnes attendent avec impatience l'arrivée du Pape Léon XIV. Les fidèles sont postés le long de la route menant de l'aéroport à la cathédrale Saint-Joseph, où @Pontifex_fr participera à 11h30 (heure locale) à une rencontre pour la paix. #VaticanNews
"Today the Lord has chosen all of us to be the workers who bring peace to this land! Let us all say a prayer to the Lord that peace will truly reign among us, that as we release these white doves—symbol of peace—that God’s peace will be upon all of us, upon this land, and keep us all united in His peace. Praise the Lord!"
Pope Leo XIV launched this heartfelt appeal for peace as he released a dove at a meeting in the northwestern Cameroonian city of Bamenda.

🚨 JUST NOW: Pope Leo drops this line in Cameroon
"Jesus told us, 'Blessed are the peacemakers,' but woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."
