The thirtieth anniversary of the ruling CPDM will be held under the theme, "the CPDM 30 years of service in Cameroon and still further in the promotion of peace, unity, democracy and progress."

In a circular, Secretary General Jean Nkuete made a clarion call to CPDM militants to be more cautious in view of the progress and results achieved. Jean Nkuete added that mindful of current national context characterized by the commitment of our country in the anti-Boko Haram coalition, the 30^th anniversary celebration should be done with dignity and sobriety demonstrating solidarity with victims of the war.

Cameroon Special Forces known as the Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR) fired rockets at Boko Haram positions on Thursday from Kolofata in Cameroon.  The rockets targeted the Nigerian Islamic fighters in the locality of Ndaba, in the south of Borno State in Nigeria.  According to our military informant, the army got intelligence that heavily armed Boko Haram militants had rallied at Ndaba and were planning a major onslaught inside Cameroon territory precisely in the Mayo-Sava Division.

Our source also added that a huge contingent of Boko Haram fighters moved from Dikwa to Soueram some 17 kilometres from Fotokol in the Logone and Chari constituency late last Sunday. This was followed by a massive deployment of Chadian troops on Wednesday, March 11 into Fotokol.

Cameroon’s former Prime Minister Simon Achidi Achu survived a ghastly car accident on the Douala-Baffoussam highway. Cameroon Concord gathered that the elephant of Santa was returning home from a trip to Douala and his Toyota SUV collided with another car killing three persons. The former PM’s bodyguard sustained minor injuries but fired bullets into the air to disperse an angry crowd that approached the scene of the accident. Our Baffoussam reporter revealed at the time of writing this report that eyewitnesses of the accident claim the former Prime Minister’s driver should be held responsible as his recklessness caused the accident.

The legal problems of former Finance Minister Abah Abah Polycarpe are to use a German description “ohne ende” even with the recent sentencing to 25 years in prison in a case of misappropriation of public funds. The former Cameroonian Minister will face another charge for misappropriation of state funds. He was summoned again on February 18, 2015 by the Special Criminal Court, to answer a charge of misappropriation of the sum of one billion and 800 million CFA francs between 1998 and 2005 while he was still General Director of Taxes.

The said amount represents a sum he collected as reimbursement of Value-added tax (Vat) of about 1.118 billion, interest arising from a term deposit of the order of 53 million CFA francs and 600 million CFA francs representing an advance on term deposit.

The beautiful MEBUNE MBINZE seen here on this photo is one of the faces the South West region will miss forever. She was involved in the Tiko ghastly car accident that Cameroon Concord reported via its breaking news feed. Born on April 23, 1974, the 41 year old had her car crushed by the truck that reportedly had a brake failure descending the Likomba Hill.

Mebune Mbinze is one out of five persons who died in the road accident late Tuesday just a few meters away from the Likomba Bridge. The bodies of the five dead have been deposited at the Tiko hospital mortuary.Fifteen others who sustained injuries are being attended to in different hospitals across the Region. Locals told Cameroon Concord that this accident is similar to the 1998 timber truck accident that saw scores dead as well as the February 6, 2012 incident.

The driver has been blamed for not diverting into the bush when he discovered he had breaks failure, he instead took the direction of the busy Likomba bridge. This is the second accident in one week following another which took place around the Baptist health center in Dibanda that left at least three dead.
