"Southern Cameroons determinism, legitimacy and legality are not predicated upon ancient history and the days of the Tower of Babel. Even then it was the Lord's God's good pleasure to scatter men upon the face of the Earth for men to have their own countries, states and nations. Rather, we are talking about the wherefore of a country, a state and a people who were granted independence by UN vote of April 21, 1961 with October 1, 1961 as the date of effective independence. Go figure why subscribers to the Camerounese con-colonial mentality would conjure up Greek Mythology to justify their con-colonial conquest of Southern Cameroons. That is not happening. Amen".

A court in France will try a controversial comedian on suspicion of “glorifying terrorism” by publishing a comment on his Facebook page. Prosecutors said on Wednesday that Dieudonne M'bala M'bala would face trial over the comment “I’m feeling like Charlie Coulibaly” on his Facebook page. “Charlie Coulibaly” is a combination of the widespread “I am Charlie” vigil slogan and the name of Amedy Coulibaly, a gunman suspected of killing five people in two attacks in the French capital, Paris.

The attacks came two days after two gunmen shot 12 people at the offices of theCharlie Hebdo magazine in the same city on January 7. Dieudonne had been questioned at a police station earlier on Wednesday. Jacques Verdier, Dieudonne’s lawyer, said that his detention over the comment was “completely out of proportion.”

If convicted, the comedian could face up to seven years in prison. Dieudonne, whose father is from Cameroon and whose mother is French-Caucasian, has popularized a gesture called “quenelle,” which authorities have branded as “anti-Semitic.” The comedian argues that his gesture is anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic. The gesture was first used during a campaign in 2009. Since then, it has been reproduced all over the Internet, and particularly among the comedian’s fans.

At least 56 people died after drinking beer at a funeral that was poisoned with crocodile bile. The beer was locally brewed in Mozambique in south-east Africa and is believed to have been poisoned with crocodile bile during the funeral. Another 49 victims have been admitted to hospital and 146 others have visited the hospital with poisoning symptoms. The death toll could still climb as health authorities have admitted they do not have the resources to deal with the situation. The victims are believed to have attended a funeral on Saturday, where they drank the locally brewed beer Pombe.

A police investigation discovered that the beer was most likely poisoned during the funeral as those who drank it on the morning of the ceremony reported no signs of illness, whereas those drinking it in the afternoon got sick, according to authorities. The woman who was in charge of brewing the beer also died from poisoning. Investigation into the incident is ongoing and health officials are helping the affected families by collecting donations of food and other items.
