Cameroon: EU urges gov’t to engage in inclusive dialogue with dissenting voices


The European Union has called on the government of Cameroon to engage in inclusive dialogue as the only solution to help the country come out of its current social impact.

The EU released a statement on Thursday in a week marked by the arrest of Maurice Kamto and over 100 protesters who took to the streets in at least four cities in the country.
“Demonstrations have taken place in recent days in several cities of Cameroon. They resulted in disproportionate use of force by security forces and multiple arrests, including leaders of the main opposition party,”Maja Kocijancic, EU Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy said.
“Similarly, violent incidents by protesters were recorded against some embassies of Cameroon abroad. The solution to the major challenges facing the country can only be found through dialogue, in a calm and inclusive context, where fundamental freedoms and the rule of law are respected.”

Franck Biya a few steps from Etoudi [RETRO]

Franck Biya a few steps from Etoudi [RETRO] The display of which it is the object in recent days does not go unnoticed Paul Biya has been re-elected for the next 7 years at the helm of the state. But at age 85 and after 36 years of power, who would not think of the future with all the guarantees that this implies? There is the question. It has probably not escaped these days to different observers, the ride that revolves around the first son of Paul Biya, Franck Biya. Usually hidden, living almost incognito, almost never talked about, the 47-year-old is more and more the tip of his nose in the limelight. We have the impression that we put it little by little in orbit. On November 6, the importance given to him by his father during the oath did not escape the watchful eye of Cameroonians. Present with Paul Biya for the circumstance (which was normal), he especially enjoyed a certain proximity with it. On the red carpet, he was one step behind his father. When Paul Biya finishe...
