Taiwan will skip a WTO ministerial meeting next week, unhappy at host Cameroon's response to its protest over being labeled a province of China on visa documents.

President Biya continues to suppress dissidents in Cameroon through arrest and arbitrary detention. Tsi Conrad, a journalist who reported on state abuses in the Anglophone regions, has been arbitrarily detained for 9 years. Last week, opposition leader Anicet Ekane died in military detention, where he’d been since his arrest after the October 12 sham elections. This is unacceptable.

Very disappointed to see US Embassy Yaoundé send congratulations to Cameroon Govt. Of course, reading between the lines I note the congratulations to Biya was on his inauguration not "election." I can't imagine anyone calling it an election! A joke! nitter.gq/USEmbYaounde/status/19…

The corrupt Biya regime in Cameroon hunts its political opponents, enables Wagner’s illicit activities, and has created conditions for jihadist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS to thrive and fuel the Anglophone crisis. The regime has staged a sham re-election, and unlawfully detained Americans citizens, including those from Idaho. Cameroon is not a U.S. partner, and poses economic and security risks to the American people. It’s time to reassess this relationship before the blowback gets worse.

BREAKING: Tchiroma Says Ministers Have Called to Congratulate Him Presidential candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary says Ministers and members of government have called to express their support after he claimed victory in the just-ended presidential election. Full Statement: “My dear compatriots, “I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, the ministers and members of government who have personally called me in recent days to express their support. The time is no longer for pretenses or calculations: when the stakes for our country and for national peace are this crucial, everyone must choose their side—and many have already done so. “I also thank certain members of the High Command and our Armed Forces who, with responsibility and clarity, have made me aware of their determination not to betray their primary mission: protecting the people. I hope that others will follow in the coming days, because history will remember those who chose the people rather than privileges. “To our brothers and sisters in the press, I also make this appeal: do not allow yourselves to be turned into instruments of disinformation for the sake of favors or positions. You carry a great responsibility toward the youth of this country, who look up to you as models. Do not become enemies of the people. “The times are grave, but hope is stronger. Together, let us remain standing, united, and vigilant. The future is in our hands. Issa Tchiroma Bakary.” #CameroonDecides2025 #RoadToEtoudi2025 #237Vote #MMINews #IssaTchiroma

The Presidents of the DRC, Félix Tshisekedi, and of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, have called for an 'immediate ceasefire', after holding talks in Qatar — the first time the two leaders have met since Rwanda-backed M23 rebels started an offensive in eastern DRC. bbc.in/41Zv0VL

Chagrin : la France paye cher les errements de la macronie en Afrique : le Niger, le Burkina Faso et le Mali ont quitté ces dernières 48 heures l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Mais celle-ci reste présidée par une Rwandaise anglophone, ancienne ministre du dictateur Paul Kagame, envahisseur de la RDC.

This month marks 140 years since Western powers sidelined Africans and carved up Africa to “own” it themselves. Al Jazeera’s @Shollytupe explains how the “Scramble for Africa” came to be and how its effects are still felt today ⤵️

🗓️Feb., 2025: Europe alarmed that the U.S. and Russia meet to discuss Ukraine (security of Europe) which might include territorial concessions, without Ukraine or Europe in the room. 🗓️Feb., 1885: European colonial powers conclude the Berlin Conference, which partitioned Africa among themselves without Africa in the room. KARMA IS TRULY A BITCH.

'I'm wondering, what's going on in Cameroon? They have young brilliant men and women... can't they run for office?' - @Gbenga_Aborowa Cameroon's president Paul Biya is 92 today. He's officially the world's oldest president and has spent over four decades in power.
