The government of Cameroon will build permanent ultra modern structures at the Congo Market in Douala in a bid to curb the regular fire that has ravaged shops in recent weeks, Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute has said.
The Prime Minister was in Douala on Sunday where he visited the Congo Market to see the remains of shops consumed by fire on Friday night.

Joseph Dion Ngute told reporters on the site that government had already made plans to build an ultra modern market on the site that will be more secured and limit the risks of fire as is the case with makeshift stalls at the market.


Joseph Dion Ngute said the project to construct the market is a Public Private Partnership, PPP, and is expected to kick off in the weeks ahead.

Market fires have been frequent in the past weeks with at least six markets consumed by fire in just under three in Yaounde and Douala.

The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon have began arriving their training base in Yaounde ahead of Saturday’s final group game of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The few players who arrived yesterday morning had to undergo indoor physical and medical tests. Head coach Clarence Seedorf held his first press conference yesterday in Yaounde where he said Cameroon will be going for the win to seal automatic qualification.



Amongst the players who were expected to arrive camp  yesterday night were Andre Onana, Fabrice Ondoua, Fai Collins, Jerome Onguene, Michael Ngadeu, Oyongo Bitolo, Zambo Anguissa, Kunde Malong, Jacques Zoua, Clinton Njie, Choupo Moting, Joel Ngadeu and Jean Pierre Nsamè. Wilfried Kaptoum replaces the injured Armel Kana Biyick.

Soldiers have been cautioned to respect the local population in the North West and South West regions of the country.
The Minister Delegate at the Presidency in charge of Defence Joseph Beti Assomo issued the warning on Monday March 18 in Buea while presiding over the installation ceremony of two senior military officers recently appointed by Presidential decree.

He called on the soldiers to be professional in the exercise of their duties in these regions and called on them to collaborate with the local population to restore peace and order in the troubled regions


The Minister’s call comes just few days after the US 2018 human rights report on Cameroon accused the country’s soldiers of grace human rights violation in the Anglophone regions as well as the Far North regions of the country.

The government of Cameroon has always dismissed accusations of human rights violation while promising to prosecute and punish any soldier suspected of carrying out any unlawful acts on the local popu…

After his recent call for young Cameroonians to consider careers in IT and to use IT responsibly, Binyuy Jude Verla has been nicknamed 'The IT Preacher'. To continue his IT advocacy, Binyuy Jude Verla just published another very enriching piece of information. This time around he focuses on the extent to which IT is helping individuals with different types of disabilities;

Binyuy Jude Verla :- "Since the advent of computers, disabled people have been provided with new, exciting opportunities to connect, share, and work. In some cases, technologies have been developed and perfected to provide the disabled with an easier lifestyle. In others, technologies that have become available to the general public, such as the Internet, are not as accessible as one may hope. However, many computers and programs have and will continue to help blind, deaf, and physically disabled people" :

In the presidential elections in Cameroon in October 2018, Paul Biya emerged victorious. This was his 6th reelection. As is often the case in Africa, suspicion and misunderstanding have emerged in some western chancelleries, showing a deep misunderstanding of the links between the local population and it's head of state, and more generally the way in which Africans apprehend their relationship with authority.

On 7 October, observers from Africa and around the world, were present to ensure the validity of the ballot. In the results, with the notable exception of the Littoral region, President Paul Biya had gathered the vast majority of votes.

If in the West, such political longevity at the head of a state raises doubts, it is not the case in Africa. Every traveler across the country understands the connection between the head of state and his people, and the same relationship is found between the inhabitants of a village and the traditional chief.

When women work to rise to the top, whether in politics, business or community advocacy, they face resistance, discrimination, social stereotypes and double standards, the President of the General Assembly said today as she opened a high-level event on “Women in Power”. The figures speak for themselves, 90 per cent of Heads of Government are men, said María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés (Ecuador), calling on world leaders to demonstrate the political will needed to change the course of history.
The great majority of countries have never been governed by women, she continued.  If the current trend continues, achieving equality will take over 100 years.  Women face myriad challenges in politics.  They are judged by how they look and how they are dressed, more than their ideas.  And when they do express their views and opinions, they are held to a much higher standard than men.

This situation is real, and we must work to combat it, she stressed.  Underrepresentation of women in political lif…
