Cameroon: CRTV playing biased reporting

The state broadcaster, CRTV, has repeatedly played down the Anglophone lawyers' strike and did not even report about the military gassing its own civilians in the cities of Buea and Bamenda. But their gangster fingers were quick to report on striking bus workers in French-speaking Cameroon.

Oh I see! It is because the French-speaking capital of Yaounde is more important than the English-speaking opposition stronghold of Bamenda.

Oh, I see again! CRTV is loaded with French-speaking journalists and a few Anglophone sellouts manning top positions and engaging in media priming and framing. 

Thousands of cars were stuck early Wednesday on the streets of Cameroon's capital, Yaounde.The congestion was caused by workers of the urban transport company Le Bus. They parked their buses on major junctions and went hiding for a greater portion of the morning

Forty-five of the 125 bus drivers were arrested. Public authorities in Yaounde refused to comment but state media said they were convening a crisis meeting.

Anglophone Lawyers Strike

More than a dozen Cameroonian lawyers  sustained injuries in Buea in the South West Region, where policemen confronted them as they were about to stage a peaceful march, on  November 10 2016.Several  of the Lawyers were beaten,their Wigs and gowns seized by security forces.A similar protest march saw the full agression of Cameroon's security forces in Bamenda, yet the state run CRTV played down the both events.
