🚨🚨🚨PRESS RELEASE ICT Media STRATEGIES, Digital Business Africa, Smart Click Africa, and Africa Defense Affected by Massive and Unexplained Deactivation of Facebook Accounts and Pages Yaounde, February 20, 2026. ICT Media STRATEGIES, a Cameroonian company specializing in #eReputation (digital communication), strategic monitoring, advisory services, and the publishing of digital platforms dedicated to Africa’s digital economy, hereby informs the public and its partners of a simultaneous and unexplained deactivation of several of its @facebook assets, observed on 14 February 2026. Five personal accounts belonging to members of the organization, as well as five professional pages — Digital Business Africa, ICT Media STRATEGIES, Smart Click Africa, Africa Defense, and the Beaugas ORAIN DJOYUM Official Page— were deactivated without prior notice. Currently, there is no possibility of appeal through standard channels, as the process requires logging into accounts that are now inaccessible. Among the deactivated assets is the verified personal account of our Chief Executive Officer, Beaugas ORAIN DJOYUM, which was secured by two-factor authentication. To date, no explanatory email has been received. This situation is particularly concerning as all affected accounts fully comply with Meta’s Community Standards. The simultaneous deactivation of multiple strategic accounts and pages constitutes an unusual incident, the origin of which remains unknown. Impact on Activities This sudden interruption severely disrupts: - The distribution of editorial content to our readers and subscribers; - The publication of information and press releases for our partners; - The continuity of ongoing communication campaigns; - The visibility of our platforms, which are followed by tens of thousands of subscribers. - The temporary unavailability of our Facebook pages, affecting the visibility of our activities and references among our partners and institutional stakeholders. Actions Taken As we are unable to access the Meta Help Center, @MetaforBusiness Business Support, the Meta Journalism Project, or Meta Verified Support —all of which require a Facebook login— ICT Media STRATEGIES has initiated official démarches with Meta. We have requested the urgent reactivation of all assets and an official clarification regarding this incident. The @Meta teams we managed to reach have indicated that the situation is currently under review. We are awaiting formal feedback. We remain fully mobilized to ensure business continuity and will continue to inform our partners and community with full transparency. We sincerely apologize to our subscribers, partners, and clients whose scheduled content has been affected. Service Continuity Pending a resolution, all our content remains accessible via the following channels: - WhatsApp Channels: ICT Media STRATEGIES and Digital Business Africa (digt.al/DBA) - X (formerly Twitter): @DigitalBusiness, @ICTMediaCM, @SmartClickAfric - LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/digital… #ICTMediaSTRATEGIES, #DigitalBusinessAfrica, #SmartClickAfrica, and #AfricaDefense reaffirm their unwavering commitment to providing reliable, independent information in the service of Africa’s digital ecosystem. @BeaugasOrain , CEO of ICT Media STRATEGIES
