The Member of Parliament for the Jakiri constituency, Hon. Joseph Wirba was conspicuously absent yesterday the 13 of 2017 March during the opening of the parliamentary session. The absence of the MP who gained widespread popularity after his intervention in the November session of 2016 and his stance on Anglophone problem was evident as speculations were rife that ‘Joe’ as he is fondly called had escaped to an unknown destination after it was alleged that his immunity would be stripped to pave the way for his arrest.

Local media reports say Hon Wirba Joseph left the country after gotten intelligence that the Biya Francophone had ordered his arrest. Cameroun Info.Net reported that the MP was informed by a well-placed source on January 19, 2017 that he was blacklisted for either assassination or arrest. Reports have it that the Southern Cameroon hero of recent times and hundreds of Southern Cameroonians have sneaked into Nigeria. The MP was last seen at the US embassy in Abuja from where he could move to the US.

Recently there has been an influx of Francophones into IDP camps in Nigeria. The number which increases by the day is not unconnected with the ongoing struggle in Southern Cameroons, which has caused many Anglophones to flee to neighboring Nigeria for refuge.

According to Cameroon Intelligence Report sources in Abuja where one of such IDP camps are found, the Cameroun Francophones are about 30 persons- a majority of whom speak the French language with the Beti accent. Our source revealed that these men are being sent to eliminate Southern Cameroonians who fled and some believed to take refuge in Abuja.

Our intelligence officers in Abuja have also disclosed that most of the Francophone Cameroonians are secret service personnel who are currently using their so called refugee status to enroll in private schools to gain a mastery of the English language. The Yaoundé regime has opened command centers at the Cameroun Consulates in Calabar and Lagos and is running a huge spying network on Southern Cameroonians in Nigeria.

Our undercover reporter spoke to a senior UN official in Abuja on Friday the 10^th of March who hinted that concerns have been raised at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Abuja following the huge demand for asylum by French speaking Cameroonians. The UN Abuja Mission has reportedly informed the leadership of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium operating in Nigeria and many Southern Cameroons activists have been handed to foster families in a bid to avoid the IDP camps now inhabited by agents loyal to the regime in Yaoundé.

We gathered the wife and children of the Secretary General of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium, Wilfred Tassang have arrived at an undisclosed location in Nigeria and are now under tide security.  Our chief correspondent in Southern Cameroons based in Buea noted at the time of filing this that the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime has frozen the bank accounts of four prominent Southern Cameroons activists namely: Barrister Eyambe, Paul Nilong, Tem Martin and Tina Nene Nganda.

Three Fako Chiefs have been expelled from the Fako Chiefs conference, over money believed to have been given to the Chiefs by Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime to kick against the ongoing struggle in Southern Cameroons.

Cameroon Intelligence Report sources say the three Bakweri traditional authorities include the great His Royal Highness Samuel Epupa Ekum of Dikolo Bimbia and His Royal Highness Chief Etina Monono of Great Soppo.

We are withholding the name of the third Chief as requested by our senior intelligence officer in Buea. The three are said to have distanced themselves from what they termed blood money from La Republique and have accused their counterparts for supporting the regime’s diabolic actions towards Southern Cameroon.

Francophone Cameroonian medical doctors and teachers have announced a decision to go on strike on the 27 of April 2017. The medical practitioners and the teachers said in a statement made public on Sunday the 12 of March that the CPDM government has failed in its promise to improve the working conditions of health and teaching officials in the country.

The doctors’ trade union also revealed that there was an urgent need for a short-term implementation of basic health insurance with universal coverage, to improve the provision of care and to enable all Cameroonians of all social strata to have equal access to health care.

The doctors are also asking the government to raise their wages, suspend the policy of assigning newly recruited doctors without pay and above all, raise the retirement age from 55 to 65.  In a similar direction, Francophone teachers have also announced their strike action on March 27. The French speaking teachers have reportedly made a sea of demands to the government.

Police in the western German city of Essen have ordered a big shopping mall to stay closed for an entire day after receiving tip-offs about an imminent attack. “As police, we are the security authority here and have decided to close the mall,” police spokesman Christoph Wickhorst said as about 100 officers positioned themselves around the compound of the mall and the adjacent parking lot at Limbecker Platz square in downtown Essen.

Wickhorst said other security agencies had tipped off police late on Friday that an attack would certainly happen in the shopping center on Saturday. The closure of the mall came as a major conference grouping Southern Cameroons women throughout Western Europe ended in the city. Many of the Anglophone Cameroonian women were expected to visit the mall.

The official would not elaborate but police in Essen later said a man was being questioned in relation to the threat and that his apartment in the nearby city of Oberhausen was searched. Media reports said another man was also arrested at an internet cafe in Oberhausen in the afternoon. Heavy police presence was also visible at a shopping mall in the city.

The mall in Essen is reportedly one of the biggest in Germany. It said on its website that some 60,000 people normally visited 200 stores of the mall every Saturday. Reports said police officers, many armed with machine pistols and bullet-proof vests, had even forced out early morning staff.

Over the past years, Germany has been spared of terrorist attacks such as those that happened in France and Belgium. However, elements of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group have claimed several low-profile assaults on people in crowded places.

Germany has accepted more than a million from a historic flow of refugees that began to hit Europe in early 2015. Many fear the liberal asylum policies of German Chancellor Angela Merkel could cost Germany dearly, as reports have said some terror attacks have been carried out through refugee recruits. Last year, 10 people were injured after an ax-wielding man attacked shoppers at a mall in Dusseldorf. It later turned out that the man had no links to terror groups and acted on his own.

A peaceful march has been staged in Yaounde against Antoine Félix Samba, General Director of the Budget at the Ministry of Finance and cousin to First Lady Chantal Biya accused of using his family’s proximity with the wife of President Paul Biya to demolish homes and throw hundreds of families in Yaoundé to the streets.

The protest was organized by a representative of the group of homeless families in the Nkozoa district, Fonke Issa. Cameroon Concord News was reliably informed that the cousin of Chantal Biya was acting with the complicity of Jacqueline Koung a Bessike, Minister in charge of Lands and a few individuals at the Ministry of Justice.

The Antoine Felix Samba demolition started on September 4, 2016, at the beginning of the school year when he reportedly send heavily armed men and drug addicts to demolish a school and some houses in the locality. “They beat up all those who resisted. They broke or grabbed phones from people trying to take pictures. They told us that they acted on instructions from the cousin of Chantal Biya, the president’s brother-in-law and that nothing could happen to them, “Fonka Issa revealed. Antoine Félix Samba has further undertaken the construction of a wall on the disputed plot.

In a country where, according to experts, 50% of the disputes brought before the courts are land-based, the demonstrators now on the street, say they expect much from the President of the Republic. Dozens of families, from the area are now sleeping under the stars. All their dwellings have been demolished. They began a series of public demonstrations to stir up the slippage of a member of the regime who would use his proximity with Chantal Biya to undermine social cohesion, peace and national unity.

Antoine Samba was quoted as saying that the inhabitants of the Nkozoa district were predominantly Bamilekes who do not have a place in Yaoundé and should go back to the West region.
