When elections are rigged and injustice reigns, the Church in Cameroon often retreats behind the walls of neutrality, calling for peace only after the streets have burned. But peace without truth is not peace — it is submission to oppression. Across history, the Church has stood as a moral compass in times of darkness. It was the voice of conscience against apartheid in South Africa, a shield for the weak during civil wars, and a pillar of resistance against colonial injustice. Yet today, when truth is being buried beneath the rubble of political manipulation, too many pulpits have gone quiet.…
Across the country, tension is running high. Reports of post-electoral unrest have emerged from several regions. In the North, Douala, and the West Region — particularly in Dschang — anger and frustration have spilled into the streets. In Dschang, protesters went as far as setting ablaze the CPDM office and the residence of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dschang. Their message was clear: they are rejecting what they describe as “stolen votes” and “manipulated results” by the ruling party. In Douala, the country’s economic heartbeat, the mood was equally charged, though less destructive. Crowds gathered in Bonamoussadi, blocking roads…

Shockwaves are rippling through Cameroon’s ruling party as Maurice Tiibam Kube, a prominent CPDM official in the North West Region, has resigned in protest, accusing party officials and election authorities of orchestrating what he describes as a “mathematical miracle of fraud” in the October 12 presidential election results in Njinikom. In a blistering resignation letter addressed to the CPDM Section President for Boyo I – Njinikom, Kube denounced the official results that credit President Paul Biya with 2,241 votes in the locality — figures he says are “statistically impossible” and “morally repugnant.” “What happened in Njinikom is a national embarrassment…
President Paul Biya has donated a 50-seater bus to the University of Ngaoundéré, a gesture that has sparked both appreciation and criticism across academic and political circles. The vehicle was officially handed over on Wednesday, October 15, by the Governor of the Adamawa Region, Kildadi Taguiéké Boukar, who represented the Head of State during a brief but highly publicized ceremony on campus. According to officials, the bus will be used for daily shuttle services between the city and the university campus — a distance of about 12 kilometers — and for academic activities such as study trips and field excursions.…
The African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) have described Cameroon’s 2025 presidential election as “peaceful, orderly, and in line with democratic principles.” In their joint report released yesterday October 14, 2025, the two organizations praised ELECAM, the election management body, for its “professionalism and diligence,” and thanked the country’s security forces for maintaining calm throughout the vote. Their 36 observers visited 228 polling stations across all ten regions and said the voting process was generally transparent and well-organized. They, however, noted a low voter turnout in several areas and recommended that Cameroon move toward…
The Cameroon Bar Association has shaken the political scene with a bold and unprecedented statement calling out the Electoral Commission (ELECAM) and the Constitutional Council over the handling of the October 12 presidential election results. In a sharply worded declaration signed by Bar President Mbah Eric Mbah, the country’s top legal body accused both institutions of being on trial before the people, warning that any attempt to “betray the people’s will” would have serious consequences for peace and democracy. “The will of the Cameroonian people must not only be heard but fully respected,” the Bar stressed, adding that ELECAM and…
The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Front (SDF), Joshua Osih, has accepted defeat in the October 12 presidential election. In a press release made public on Tuesday 14 October, Osih said his party’s data from polling stations across the country show “no doubt about the trends” of the vote. “Even though the results have not been favourable to me, the people have spoken, and the verdict of the ballot box is clear,” he wrote. “We accept this outcome in full respect of the will of the Cameroonian people.” Osih Recognizes Tchiroma’s Lead Reports from many polling stations indicate that…
Cameroon has lost one of its most enduring statesmen. Luc Ayang, President of the Economic and Social Council (CES) and a former Prime Minister, has died in Belgium after a long illness. The news of his passing was first reported by L’Oeil du Sahel, which stated that the veteran politician and traditional ruler breathed his last on Tuesday, October 14. Sources close to his family confirmed that he had been receiving medical treatment in Belgium for several weeks. Ayang Luc, who ruled as the traditional chief of Doukoula-Karhay in the Far North Region for the past 17 years, was widely…
Cameroonians across the country and around the world went to the polls on Sunday, October 12, 2025, to elect a new president in what has been described as one of the most competitive elections in recent years. The race featured twelve presidential candidates, including two main contenders — incumbent President Paul Biya of the ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) and Issa Tchiroma Bakary, a former minister who resigned from Biya’s government to run as an opposition candidate under the Front for the National Salvation of Cameroon (FSNC). Other presidential hopefuls in the race included Akere Muna, Joshua Osih, Iyodi…
