Common Law Lawyers in the North West Regional Capitol of Bamenda have stormed the city's court premises today demanding for their voices to be heard.Cameroon's Concord reporter on the scene says there is a heavy security force in and around the court building.The lawyers say they are occupying the courts  in a show of physical protest. The lawyers are also requesting for an Anglophone Supreme Court, and they also want French Magistrates to be withdrawn from anglophone courts.

 

Meanwhile,Cameroon's chief opposition party. the Social Democratic Front (SDF) has endorsed the long strike carried out by the anglophone lawyers. This strike that has paralysed the courts in the South West and North West Regions of Cameroon for close to one month, was one of the topics on the agenda of SDF's National Executive Committee(NEC) meeting that took place in Bamenda last weekend.Some militants of the SDF party who are lawyers and but not members of NEC were invited to attend the NEC meeting so they could better explain the details of their problem. This strike that started on Oct. 11 has taken a different turn and has gained more grounds with supports coming from local and international sympathisers. NEC encouraged the strike action, and called on the striking lawyers to continue their action until President Biya resolves their problem.

SDF's encouragement to the lawyers is coming at a time when the Anglophone teachers and Lecturers trade Union have announced the shutdown of all schools in Anglophone Cameroon.
Meanwhile this morning, hungry looking armed military men of La Republique stormed Mutengene to disrupt the Fako Lawyers Association meeting, but they failed as the lawyers defiled them, held their meeting and left.

Cameroon Tribune of yesterday Nov. 7 published the accomplishment of activities of President Biya for the year 2015 entitled "His Excellency Paul Biya the choice of realism and of reasoning", authored by 'Paul Atanga Nji Minister In charge of Missions at the Presidency'."While going through the statistics provided by 'HOT NEWS, we can evidently see that the Agenda of His Excellency Paul Biya did not rest at all. Elected man of the year 2015, the Head of State studied 245 000(Two Hundred and Forty Five Thousand) files in 2015(files on instructions and observations), and signed 9400decrees in the course of that same year.

In 2015, the Head of State received 250 delegations and participated in most of large international conference. This statistics projects to skeptics and other prophets of doom that for Cameroon to be solid and well respected, it is certainly being governed by a Head of State who checks to the least. Laudatory findings, I can confirm without riskany mistake that the candidature of His Excellency Paul Biya in the next Presidential election is a choice of realism and of reason"."The Holy Scriptures teaches us that a blind man can never lead another blind man. This is to say that every human being needs to be well guided to build his proper life"."The Holy Scriptures also teaches us that many are called but few are chosen. Each one of us, sees the job of the other and always thinks that it is easy, but once tested with it, you discover the contrary.

How easy it is to criticize, but the art is difficult. Every one follows his destiny on earth. This destiny is a mission. There are men who are born to guide others, and there are those who have to be guided.Our country still needs His Excellency Paul Biya. He knows Cameroon and Cameroonians know him".All these is an extract from the article of Paul Atanga Nji, Member of the CPDM central Committee, already campaigning for his master.Oh! how these men disgrace themselves day and night, and continuously blunder in incorrigible errors.

CAMEROON TODAY thas learnt that all is now set for the trial of senior executives of the International Bank of Cameroon for Savings and Credit (BICEC) recently arrested and imprisoned at New Bell in Douala for forgery, breach of trust and aggravated fraud.
Information has also filtered out that all French nationals who were involved in some way in the financial scandal have been relieved of their duties by the French banking group.

The Cameroonian justice system is now expected to examine the big man seen here on photo attached to this report, former Deputy Director Innocent Ondoa Nkou and his compatriots, Samuel Ngando Mbongue, Martin Nyam and others imprisoned at New Bell prison in Douala.The State of Cameroon with 17.50% stake in BICEC has accused its citizens of betraying its interests. For its part, the French government hasbeen very concerned to protect its image and its nationals, ever since the beginning of this incredible case.

The General Directorate of BICECis still maintaining a kind of deliberate silence and has blatantly refused to say more about the nature and extent of the fraud.

Over 74 000 refugees from Nigeria fleeing violence committed by Boko Haram have registered in Cameroon this year, according to a UN report.

United Nations Coordinator in Cameroon and United Nations Development Programme Cameroon Representative Najat Rochdi said recently Cameroon had received 74 618 refugees from Nigeria by the end of October.

The refugees are settling in a secured camp in Minawa of Far North Region, which has been frequently attacked by Boko Haram since 2013.

Since the regional African forces were established by Cameroon, Chad, Nigeria, Benin and Niger in Feb. 2015, the activities of Boko Haram in Cameroon have been contained.

But persistent violence in northeastern Nigeria has continued to push many Nigerians into Cameroon. In 2015, the number of Nigerian refugees in Cameroon was around 60 000.

FBI Director James Comey told Congress on Sunday a recent review of newly discovered emails did not change the agency's conclusion that no charges were warranted in the case of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

In a letter to Congress, Comey said the agency had completed its review of the new emails and "we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton."

"The FBI investigative team has been working around the clock to process and review a large volume of emails from a device obtained in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation," Comey said in the letter.

"During that process, we reviewed all of the communications that were to or from Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state."

A letter sent by Comey to Congress more than a week ago informing it of the newly discovered emails had thrown Clinton's presidential race against Republican Donald Trump into turmoil in the final stretch before Tuesday's election.

"I am very grateful to the professionals at the FBI for doing an extraordinary amount of high-quality work in a short period of time," Comey said.
