Senatorial Election: Achidi Achu Heads CPDM Final List for NW

 

Rt. Hon. Achidi Achu: Heading CPDM List?

The Rt. Hon. Simon Achidi Achu has been selected by the Central Committee of the CPDM to be the list leader for candidates of the North West Region. Sources linked to the Central Committee hinted that the final selection was done at the Presidency of the Republic. According to the hint, the final list of CPDM senatorial candidates for North West includes, Ngi Christopher N from Ako, Wallang Akwo David from Wum, Wanlo John from Bum, Awanga Zacharia from Oshie-Ngie, Eno Emma Lafon from Kumbo and Dingha Ignatius from Balikumbat.

Allegations are rife at that this was a list former submitted by Fon Chafah Isaac of Bangolang. According to what we gathered the Central Committee had just to remove Fon Chafah’s name which was replaced with Simon Achidi Achu and also Dingha Ignatius was brought in to replace Dr. Doh Anderson. The maneuvers according to what we gathered are creating a lot of controversy among North West CPDM politicians. With "Old Fox" (Achidi Achu) Pa politics na njangi sources hinted implies that the SDF will surely win all the seven seats in the region. Sources say the SDF is already celebrating victory. It is also aired that if Fon Chafah was allowed as head of the list, the SDF would have had it rough but following negotiations between Ni John Fru Ndi and Belinga Eboutou, the CPDM had no other option than to use Achidi Achu as the drum cart.

New Pope Elected as White Smoke Comes out of Sistine Chapel

The emergence of white smoke from a chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican has indicated to the world that cardinals have elected a new leader for 1.2 billion Catholic Christians.

Elated crowds in St. Peter's Square screamed as the white smoke emerged, under a sea of umbrellas on a cold and sometimes rainy evening. Yet the world is waiting anxiously to know who has been elected head of the largest religious denomination in the world. Besides, everyone is waiting.

The newly elected pope will be fitted for his white cassock, and the other cardinals in the conclave will then each individually swear obedience to him.

Before he appears on a balcony overlooking the square, the new pope will stop to pray in the Pauline Chapel.

Ahead of the appearance on the balcony, French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the protodeacon, will announce "Habemus Papam," Latin for "We have a pope!"

The new pope was selected after four ballots failed to produce a winner during a conclave that began Tuesday.

The drama unfolded against the backdrop of the turmoil unleashed by Benedict's surprise resignation and the exposure of deep divisions among cardinals who grappled with whether they needed a manager to clean up the Vatican's dysfunctional bureaucracy or a pastor who can inspire Catholics at a time of waning faith and growing secularism.

The cardinals, chosen by either Benedict XVI or John Paul II, swore an oath of secrecy ahead of the conclave, and anyone who communicates details about the process risks excommunication.

For more than a week before the voting, the cardinals met privately to try to figure out who among them had the stuff to be pope and what his priorities should be. But they ended the debate with questions still unanswered, and many cardinals predicted a drawn-out election that would further expose the church's divisions.

Tension in Bamenda as Police Arrest Occultic Group Specialized in Abducting Children

Photo Courtesy (Abakwa Online)

Thirty children were found in a house located at Longla Street in Bamenda where a group of men and women have been abducting children. The children are said to have been kept in the enclosed house for several years. There was tension, shock and disbelief as thousands gathered to caught the first glimpse of the people who have been trafficking children in Bamenda town. 

The news of the discovery spread round the town like wild fire. Police sources and eye witness account say the fenced house had almost every thing. Inside the compound where the children were abducted there is said to be a school, church, gymnasium and a clinic. According to what we gathered the women and the children never go out of the compound except the men who go out to look for food. And that only the men usually go out to look for food and other needs. For how long the obnoxious act has been going on, police are still investigating into the matter. However, it should be noted that the entire town of Bamenda was transferred to Longla, thousands stormed the area. Also present was the National Chairman of the SDF, Ni John Fru Ndi who was almost buried in the crowd. 

Sources say the ring leaders are five in number and allegedly from Batibo. Besides, eight women were also found inside the house and are said to be their wives. At Press time, we were unable to get a picture of one of the traffickers as the population was almost out of hand. If not of the heavy deployment of troops, the population wanted to carryout jungle justice on the traffickers. The population even attempted to set the house ablaze but the timely intervention of the Bamenda fire fighters rescued the situation. More so thousands blocked the police van from evacuating members of the occultic group yet the police at last had the final say. Yet sources say the group has been living in that compound since 2001. Instead, they were 8 women and seven men. It is alleged they had their own doctor, pastor, midwife and do not eat meat. The worst part is that it is also alleged the men would take out any woman. The children it is rumoured do not even know their fathers. And that they believe this is their own way of producing a pure breed of human beings sources hinted.

According to "Abakwa Online", two years back, a journalist for a local radio reported in the popular Pidgin English news “Tory Time” of a boy belonging to the sect who drowned under mysterious circumstances at the Mezam River. Despite a thorough search by the community, his body only surfaced when the sect members arrive at the river side. Curiously enough his remains where not taken to the mortuary but to their base.  For four days this became a regular news item over the radio, forcing the sect members to take the corpse to the mortuary. They later confronted the journalist with a receipt trying to discredit him. Unfortunately the receipt date shows it was deposited four days later further raising suspicion of foul play.

This journalist continued his investigations and found out that, there were children and women being held in the compound the sect use as their base at the Longla neighbourhood. This prompted the judicial police to open up an investigation which was eventually dropped.

The journalist became a target for the sect as they used both persuasive and forceful means to get close to him.

On March 12, 2013, one of the sect adherents, 38 years old Harrison Ngong a graduate from the university of Buea died in the early hours of the day. His mother who lives not far away was informed. She would not believe the story that his son suffered a heart attack simply by judging from his physical appearance which looked insipid and rugged. She immediately informed the police.

They police decided to carry a thorough search of the compound and found 30 children between the ages of 1 and 18 all at sleep probably from drug influence. By this time the neighbours had notice some activities in a no go area and became curious. Within a few minutes the place was jammed full by curious onlookers. As the story spread across town, thousands of people arrived the scene while others went to the hospital where the corpse of Ngong was taken to.

The area soon became a battle ground between the few police officers and the huge crowd which wanted the heads of the sect leaders. Mezam SDO, the DO for Bamenda II and the SDF chairman all arrived the scene but could only help watch as the crowd continued to swell.

However, a school of thought holds that the group is responsible for the number of children that have got missing in Bamenda town. More so, questions such where have they been having money to pay bills, house rent, sustain themselves and many others are bound. Besides, another school of thought is of the opinion that there is a hidden agenda and that agenda could be not less than that the group is involved in child trafficking and theft.

Two Gang Leaders (Ivory Trafficers) Arrested in Cameroon

Two big ivory traffickers have been arrested last March 2, 2013, by the Forces of Law and Order in Yaounde. They were arrested while trying to sell ivory at the Bastos neighbourhood in Yaounde.The two aged, 36 and 43 are suspected to be ring leaders of a criminal syndicate dealing in illegal ivory in the Republic of Congo and Cameroon.

Law enforcement officials of the 10^th Police District in Yaounde collaborated with officials of the Centre Regional Delegation of Forestry and Wildlife while a non governmental organization called LAGA provided technical assistance during the operation.

 

Investigations into their involvement with the criminal syndicate linked to the seizure of 24 ivory tusks last month are on-going. It should be recalled that last February, wildlife officials in Yaounde seized 24 ivory tusks from a trafficker who equally had links to the Republic of Congo. The operational methods of the two ivory dealers are very similar to those of the dealer arrested last February and investigations are digging deep to burst this network, officials say. Also similar with the two cases, is the fact that small elephant tusks were recovered meaning that very young elephants were killed.

 

The killing of elephants for their ivory is a present-day crisis for conservationists and most especially to governments around the world who are presently attending the 16^th Conference of Parties (CoP) of the Conventional on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) that is currently taking place at the Thai Capital, Bangkok. The 16^th CoP of CITES is of particular interest to the fight against illegal ivory trade because it has recently become more of a problem than it was, when the 1989 ivory ban was passed by CITES. Dignitaries from all over the world are calling on governments to take the challenge of protecting Africa’s elephants. The Duke of Cambridge in a pre-recorded video message that was played to delegates at the opening of the CoP CITES said “We must do more to combat this serious crime if we are to reverse the current alarming trends. If, not, we could soon see some populations of these creatures or even entire species, disappear from the wild”.

 

The need for a strong political will from governments around the world to combat wildlife crimes is necessary as the crime has become very sophisticated and it is carried out by powerful traffickers as the activities  leading to the arrest of the two ivory traffickers in Yaounde demonstrate. They used many tricks including hiding ivory in unsuspected corners and moving investigators around for many days before they were arrested.   In this light, this arrest that came in  just a few hours after the CoP of CITES opened is a good measure of hope for governments that are fully engaged in pursuing wildlife criminals. Cameroon, is a good example in this domain. Since 2003, the government of Cameroon signed a convention to intensify the fight against wildlife trafficking and the records have be very good. Under this convention, a wildlife criminal is brought to court each week.  Among other things, the country has won awards such as the Interpol Eco-message award for achievements in this domain. Cameroon is equally a party to CITES.
