Cameroon Concord has received reliable information that government agents are threatening the life of the lady whose four newborns died recently in the Central Hospital in Yaounde. Lady Nshi Honorine in a rare public appearance revealed that contrary to what the director of the hospital is now saying, she was actually given four dead babies not five. 

Nshi Honorine added that her sister was asked to look for incubators in four other hospitals including the Chantal Biya Foundation. Recounting her ordeal at the L’hopital Central in Yaounde, Madam Nshi said “My dead children were wrapped in plastic bags and forced in my hands to leave the hospital”. There are conflicting reports that the nurses on duty on that fateful day have been suspended.

Our intel unit is yet to confirm this move by the Yaounde health authorities. What we do know is that Public Health Minister, Andre Mama Fouda and his anti Lady Monique Koumate Commission are now maintaining a kind of silence of the lamb and have instructed the director of the Central hospital to face the media.

The Minister for Defense, Joseph Beti Assomo paid a surprise visit at the military Hospital in Yaounde on Sunday to convey a special message from President Biya to wounded Cameroon soldiers. Minister Assomo was seen at the bedsides of soldiers injured in the Far North region, comforting them and inquiring about their health status-something the Cameroonian people would have love to see performed by the dictator himself. 

The Defense boss translated the deepest sympathy of the head of state to the servicemen. There are 118 wounded soldiers including three civilians evacuated from Maroua regional hospital to Yaounde.

Minister Joseph Beti Assomo during his stay at the military hospital said "Your commitment, your efforts and sacrifices for the defense of the Nation are highly praised by the head of the Army. He asked me to convey to you all his encouragement, and through you, to all war victims throughout the country”. The MINDEF also commended the civilian and military personnel of the hospital for their dedication and professionalism in management.

Cameroonians have commemorated the 24th edition of World Water Day at a time when water seems to be a rare commodity in the country. The situation facing inhabitants of some neighbourhoods in the nation’s capital like Damas, in Bokwango and Buea Town quarters in Buea including Garoua and other towns and cities across the country can be painted as horrible. 

Many families depend on poor water sources like wells and streams. Middle class families and the financially stable have constructed boreholes and water catchment tanks. It is commonplace to see queues of people around public taps and streams, waiting to carry the precious liquid in containers.

The young and the old regularly travel across long distances with pick-up vehicles to carry water in large containers to be preserved at home. The thirst and insufficient water has caused some to depend on mineral water while others drink sachet water of sometimes doubtful quality.
