A group of Cameroonian ladies based in Maryland, USA, has released to the public, a revenge porn tape featuring another female Cameroonian. It is not clear if the survivor of sexual assault cheated with the boyfriend of one of the girls, according to an audio message by the survivor who denies every assertion.

The female survivor cites Mokone Sone, and a certain Anita, as the main hackers who leaked her sex tape to Facebook. Mokone Sone and Anita, according to the survivor, both live in Maryland, USA. It may appear that they were close friends.

In the video, the man could be seen video taping the lady while having sex.

Few hours ago, Mekone Sone purportedly deactivated her Facebook page. It could also be possible that Facebook administrators pulled down the video, and banned Mekone Sone for violating the terms of content usage on the public sphere.

Enforcing sanitation in Douala is an arduous task that only daring council officials can bear. Even when surroundings are kept clean, illegal structures are erected by street corners or structures once demolished resurface a week or two after. This is the situation that the Mayor of Douala II Council, Denise Fampou, staff and a police officer went down to Ngangue, Bonapriso and New Bell to verify on May 25, 2016.

The visit came after weeks of sensitisation culminated in the demolition of illegal structures such as extensions bordering or narrowing streets, old and dilapidated residential structures and kiosks set up against norms. Those that were untidy were asked to be tidied up and painted within 48 hours, while plantain suckers, pear and other trees were cut down.

The measure follows the completion of the King Njoya Street (Rue Roi Njoya), thereby facilitating the facelift of the Nkololoun and New Bell neighbourhoods. According to Mayor Fampou, such makeshift structures make movements for pedestrians difficult as well as give a poor image of the beautiful neighbourhoods. At the end of the exercise, the Mayor said when sensitisation is not heeded, demolition is the last resort. And so it was on Wednesday, May 25, 2016, a day generally set aside for sanitation in the Douala II Municipality.

Those marching included pupils from primary schools, students from secondary schools and higher institutions of learning and political parties represented in the National Assembly and Senate.

This phase of the march past opened with the presentation of a symbolic mascot by students of the National Institute of Youths and Sports (INJS).

The mascot, major innovation this year, consisted of a Cameroon map in a sphere-like space, representative of Cameroon’s move towards emergence.

Two primary and secondary schools from each of the seven sub divisions of the Mfoundi represented the Division in this year’s civilian march past.

The pupils and students carried patriotic messages and banners, waved little flags and sang six patriotic songs on fighting terrorism and indiscipline, promoting emergence, second generation agriculture and the digital economy.

The patriotic songs were in English, French and older local languages in line with Government’s efforts to promote the mother-tongue in schools.

After primary and secondary schools came higher institutions of learning with bold marching steps, intriguing choreographic displays by cheerleaders and impeccable rhythms by brass bands.

The Protestant University of Central Africa (UPAC) marched alongside the higher institutions of learning in its maiden appearance at the May 20 Boulevard exercise.

Nine political parties took part in the march past, brandishing unity-inclined messages while chanting patriotic songs.

The parties represented included: the National Salvation Front (MNSC/FSNC), National Union for Democracy and Progress (NUDP/UNDP), Movement for the Defense of the Republic (MDR), Cameroon Democratic Union (CDU), Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC), National Alliance for Democracy and Progress (ANDP), Cameroon Renaissance Movement (MRC), Social Democratic Front (SDF) and the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM/RDPC).

Each political party was uniformly dressed and organised and their marching crowned the 20th May 2016 march past which lasted about three hours.

The ghastly motor accident that occurred at Bambili three corners on May 16th 2016 claimed seven persons lives. When our Cameroon Concord's correspondent for Bamenda arrived the scene of the accident later that day he saw the spot covered with mammoth crowds of anxious and curious people stretching their necks left and right to see those who have either been killed or wounded in the accident. The Governor of the North West Region Lele L’Afrique Adolphe Deben Tchoffo and the forces of law and order comprising of ESIR police Gendarmerie and public security as well as the local administration of Tubah sub division, the forces of law and order were there as well besides the mayor of Tubah council Mr. Tanjong Martin Meshongong. This reporter learned from one taxi driver who did not want to be identified that seven persons were feared dead and were evacuated to the mortuary but other conflicting reports told the guardian post that only three persons died and were taken to hospital.

According to sources gathered on the spot a truck with registration numbers CE52IHX which was transporting gravel for the construction of a road in the Bamenda University campus lost it brakes when descending from mile 10, Bambili. It crushed two motor cycles on its way to Bambili three corners as well as a vehicle with registration number NW 704AQ and killed its owner who parked the vehicle and was said to have been having a conversation with another person.

According to the Guardian post’s findings the driver of the truck and motor boy are said to have survived the accident. Many thanks go to a Brasseries Du Cameroon truck that acted as a wedge to the truck
that hit it and somersaulted and fell on the entrance leading to Cameroon college of Arts, science and Technology Bambili. It is at this entrance that the vehicle with registration numbers NW 704 AQ was completely damaged and the owner standing beside it was cut into two halves. This reporter also learned that a girl who lost one of her eyes and a motor cycle rider were taken to the hospital for treatment. Meanwhile the Army Rescue Van was on the scene of the accident and reportedly rushed some victims of the accident to the hospital but at the scene of accident it was difficult to identify any of the dead persons. But many people hold that about four persons died in the accident
