Cameroon Democratic Union (CDU) demands a region for the Noun division

The Cameroon Democratic Union CDU party of Adamou Ndam Njoya would like the State of Cameroon to raise the Noun division in the West region to a Region.

This Regional chauvinism is contained in a memorandum by Members of paliament of the CDU, presented at a press conference held at the Hotel des Députes in Yaounde. The party which enjoys overwhelming support from the Noun division states clearly that it is unjust for the division not to be a Region, since it is made up of three quarters of the entire  population of the Western Region. 

Tomaino Hermine Ndam Njoya, the spokesperson for the MPs, stated that "from  the outset there were two Regions in the West: the Bamileke Region, whose chief town was Dschang and the Bamoun Region, whose Noun was Foumban. Today we find ourselves with a Region of eight divisions:  the former Bamileke Region displays seven divisions  and the former Bamoun Region just one ".

 Hermine Ndam Njoya also noted that the Noun is even larger than the seven divisions  of the Bamileke Region.

The Mp who is the wife of the party chairman and Mayor of Foumban, Adamou Ndam Njoya pointed out that the situation has a negative impact on the youths  and the populations of the Noun who feel marginalized.
