13 millions Fcfa divisent le Rdpc au Canada

Des tensions sous forme de rivalités tribales sont nées autour de
l'argent que le président a offert lors de son voyage en octobre 2008.

Les
membres de la section québécoise du Rassemblement démocratique du
peuple camerounais (Rdpc) se regardent en chiens de faïence depuis
quelques jours. Ils n'arrivent pas à s'entendre sur la répartition de
13.000.000 Fcfa octroyés par le président Paul Biya, lors de son séjour
au Québec, à l'occasion du 12è Sommet de la Francophonie en octobre
2008. Selon notre source au Canada, l'argent remis à l'ambassadeur du
Cameroun à Ottawa, Solomon Azoh-Mbi, avait été déposé dans un compte à
Montréal par le trésorier, Fidelis Folefack, malgré la forte résistance
de certains militants venus des sous-sections. Lesquels militants
auraient voulu que l'argent soit immédiatement réparti.

mob justice and were all killed.

Bishops Want Protest March Against Legalising Abortion, Homosexuality

By Elias Ntungwe Ngalame

The Bishops of Cameroon have condemned the ratification of the
Maputo Protocol which permits States to legalise homosexuals and
abortion in their countries. In a declaration published on 27 June at
the end of their 34th Plenary Assembly in Yaounde, the Bishops disagree
vehemently with Cameroon's ratification of the law, calling on
Cameroonians to categorically say no to it.
Talking to the press
after the meeting, Christian Cardinal Tumi said the Bishops will in the
days ahead organise a protest march throughout the national territory
to show their indignation and disillusionment with the Head of State
for ratifying such a bad law.

Afrique : qu’est-ce qui fait courir la Russie ?

Le président russe, Dmitri Medvedev, a lancé la semaine dernière une
opération de charme sur le continent. Plusieurs contrats gaziers ont
été signés.

Incontestablement, l’un des événements marquants du mois dernier en
matière diplomatique sur le continent aura été la visite du président
russe Dmitri Medvedev dans quatre pays d’Afrique. C’est véritablement
une grande première depuis la disparition de l’ancienne Union
soviétique dans les années 90. Avant lui, Vladimir Poutine fut le seul
maître du Kremlin à se rendre en Afrique sub-saharienne en 2006, lors
d’un voyage au Maroc et en Afrique du Sud.

Cameroon Drops In FIFA Ranking

Fred VUBEM

They are now second in Africa and 29th on the world stage.

Cameroon has for the first time in over a decade been dethroned as the
first team in Africa on FIFA ranking. Cameroon is second in Africa and
29th in the world. The drop is due to the poor performance of the
Indomitable Lions in the qualifiers for the African cup of nations and
World Cup in South Africa. Cameroon recorded a stunning defeat against
Togo in Accra and a disappointing draw against Morocco in Yaounde which
places them at the tale end of the group. The poor performance of the
lions has given the lee way to the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire who have
been in superb form in the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South
Africa. Ivory Coast's two wins in 2010 World Cup qualifiers in the last
month have helped them move into the number one position in Africa.

Rules Of The Game

Shey Peter Mabu

Any use of the multi-media with the aim of provoking a positive
response demands the truth and objectivity in the gathering and
processing of material for dissemination. Without this, the main
objectives of what is circulated to inform and sensitize for positive
action shall have been relegated to manipulative acts of destruction.
