Muea Prince Flees From Double Trouble

 By Amos Njoh



One of the Princes of the Muea Kingdom, in Buea Subdivisions of the troubled Southwest Region of Cameroon is said to be on the run.

The Prince whose name we got as Yannick Junior Molinge is said to have arrived Cameroon from Germany where he is a student.

News of his arrival spread like wildfire attracting the concerns of separatist fighters who have a strong base in the locality.

Barely a few days upon his arrival, we are told Yannick started receiving calls from the fighters to support them financially else they would kidnap and kill him.

For fear of being accused of aiding terrorism, he refused to support these boys in the bushes.

Knowing that he is from a royal family and that any pressure will definitely pay off, he was kidnapped by the boys and his face tied throughout the journey to their camp.

While in their camp, he was forced to call his family to rescue him by paying an undisclosed amount of money.

Yannick was released by the boys on conditions that he must continue to support them else he would be kidnapped again and made a permanent prisoner of war for them.

When news of his release got to town, security operatives started looking for him with the intention of him taking them to the hide out of the Separatist Fighters.

After explaining that his eyes were tied to and from the camp of the separatist fighters, they didn’t believe him as a date was set for him to take them to the hide out.

We gather that since his last confrontation with security officers, Yannick is nowhere to be found around Muea and its environs.

The scare was even loudest when separatist fighters came out on Thursday 8 September in Muea, killing five persons in a taxi before setting the taxi ablaze.

Since the start of August, Muea and its environs has been in a stalemate as schools remain closed, work grounded and there has been random hits and run, killings and kidnappings by separatist fighters for ransom.

Last Friday, a young man residing in Muea whose name we got as Kum Louis and one other were brutally shot and killed by separatist fighters for no clear reasons.

This has increased the risk and uncertainty about the next actions and victims of the separatist fighters in this area.

Muea, Ekona, Muyuka, right up to Kumba is a deadly stretch of road as far as the Fighting in the SW Region of Cameroon is concerned.

It has produces some of the most dreaded pseudo generals and witnessed some of the worst atrocities since the clashes started in 2016.

The Government of Cameroon through the follow up committee of the Major National Dialogue to end the crisis says it is getting better, rather reports and facts on the ground doesn’t say so.

Understanding The War In Ukraine: Looking Beyond The Surface (Part One)

  By Dr. Sylvester Tabe Arrey (st.arrey@yahoo.com) (Sylvester is a Lecturer in the Department of International Relations and Conflict Resolution, University of Buea, Cameroon) This piece seeks to contribute in deepening the public's knowledge and understanding of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. What is Ukraine's offence? Why has Russia chosen to launch an offensive at this point and what exactly does it seek to achieve? What will happen next and where is the world heading? These and other questions have been attended to here. It may end up being a long piece but I appeal on you to exercise some patience and come along with me. On the international stage, states don't have permanent friends. Friendship lasts for only as long as the other party is still relevant to the fulfilment of their interests. It is common for them to share a bed with one party today and avoid them the next if their interests change and the fellow becomes irrelevant or too dangerous to stay close. Common i

“Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the first case in Cameroon of which was reported by the Ministry of Health on March 6 2020.   To date, more than 800 cases have been reported in Cameroon despite the measures that were put in place by the governm ent. Key amongst these measures were recommendations on hygiene (handwashing and/or hand sanitizing) and social distancing aimed at limiting transmission. Other theories have been put forward as to how best to manage COVID-19, ranging from the use of pharmaceutical products like chloroquine to food supplements.   For any of these to merit any serious consideration, it is important to know how the body actually reacts to viral infections.   The human body generally has the appropriate mechanisms to defend itself against bacterial or viral (pathogen) attacks.    The first line of defense is generally through the physical barrier pro
