The Minister of Communication Issa Tchiroma, is back again to assist the 84-year old arbitrary Cameroon ruler, in the showering of unconsoling condolences on the petrified Northern Region of the country.
Following the recent suicide bomb attack in the Waza locality of the Far North Region, in which 16 deaths and over 30 injured people were recorded, a communiqué was released by the Communication Minister, which acted as the mouth piece of the dumb president who has to muster courage before he even speaks publicly on the last day of the year (31 December) and the Youth day eve (10 May).
Instead of going to the North as he should have gone to the English-speaking parts of the country to speak to his people and show that he is really concerned, he rather uses his communication puppet to extend weary condolences "the President of the Republic sends his condolences to victims...congratulates our armed forces as well as the vigilante groups for the work they are doing against the enemy" section of communiqué reads.
His hailing of the armed forces is even more than the condolences, which do nothing but add pain.

The defence ministers and army chiefs of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and Benin are meeting in Yaoundé on Thursday to discuss the fight against insecurity in the region.
They are expected to examine the text drafted by military experts and associates during the past days in Yaoundé.
The text is based on the fight against the terror group, Boko Haram, as well as the humanitarian situation created by the insurgency in the region.
Boko Haram remains a thread to Cameroon, Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Benin.
Though weakened, the radical Islamic group continues to kill, kidnap people, and loot property.
This meeting comes at a time when Chad is threatening to pull some of it's troops out of the Multinational Joint Task Force due to financial difficulties.
Cameroon on its part received FCFA 10million from its 'citizens' living in the UK some days back.

twin-suicide attack in Cameroon on Monday evening left at least four persons dead and many injured, a newspaper has reported, a continuation of a reign of terror which started in Nigeria in 2009 and expanded to Cameroon in 2014.
Reliable Cameroonian newspaper, L’Oeil du Sahel, said the suicide attacks occurred in the locality of Homaka in the country’s far north.
The newspaper said at least four dead were counted while there were many people injured.
Boko Haram has been wreaking havoc in Cameroon and Nigeria in recent months, killing many, displacing thousands and kidnapping children to turn them into suicide bombers and women into sex slaves.
In more than 500 gun and bomb attacks, Boko Haram has killed more than two thousand civilians in Cameroon since 2014 and displaced hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of soldiers and policemen have also been murdered.

Boko Haram attacks in Cameroon and Nigeria have increased in recent months. In Cameroon, the terrorists have massacred more than two thousand civilians and killed hundreds of soldiers and policemen.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and many have been kidnapped and never seen again.
President Paul Biya of Cameroon who has never set foot in the war zone has vowed many times that the terrorists would be crushed, but as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months and years, it became apparent that the terrorists were far from being crushed.
