Outspoken SDF MP Wirba is set to launch one of the very first books of the unrest in Southern Cameroons, BaretaNews has reported.
Honorable Wirba's book is out to reveal the mafia of the Biya regime as well as his [Wirba] vision for Southern Cameroons.
BaretaNews says the book is titled Wirba Force.The initiative is highly appreciated by Southern Cameroonians though some people believe that it's rather too early. They argue that the 'war' is not yet over.
Honorable Wirba is one of the most active people in the struggle.He has criticised the regime and parliament in broad daylight.
This has made him one of the most dreaded and 'wanted' persons by the Biya administration.
My people, Have been silent for a bit. That's the Wirba you know. I don't talk to impress, l talk to improve ! Needed the quiet moment after 6 months in exile to think & take the WirbaForce to a new playground ! My people we have a book coming! Welcome the WirbaForce chapters -JW pic.twitter.com/lh4NWwvcs4

Recently retired army chief Constantino Chiwenga, who led a de facto coup last month that ended Robert Mugabe’s 37-year rule, was installed as Zimbabwe’s vice president in Harare on Thursday.
Chiwenga, whose appearance on state television on Nov. 15 preceded armed soldiers taking to the streets, paving the way for Emmerson Mnangagwa to become president, is the latest in a string of military leaders to be elevated to government positions.

The secretary general of the outlawed consortium has voiced words of encouragement and comfort to Southern Cameroonians still held in Yaoundé.
Dr Fontem Neba was speaking after his visit with food stuff to the detention centre.
The former detainee was arrested earlier in the year before being released several months later.
"I must start by expressing my profound gratitude to all my friends, colleagues and family members who hearkened to my call and gave me the much needed support to visit our brothers in Kondengui Principal and Central Prisons. Thanks to your generous effort, we have been able to get 40 litres of Kerosene, 6 bags of rice, 40 litres of cooking oil, chicken, fish, 6 trays of eggs, 4 bunches of plantains and 100 bottles of natural pineapple juice, garri, gnuts, smoked fish, garri, and some several other needs. I invoked all the management skills I once had to be able to get something to sustain them during the Christmas.
It was all joy to see each other again although under very unpleasant circumstances. Visits like these are an opportunity to encourage then, and to remind them that their community cares and I told them that I will always be a willing emissary. Our Lord says that whatever ye do unto these ones, ye are doing unto him. Be not weary of doing good. May he replenish and show you favour in every area of your life.
"Many people called when my visit was already over, but promised to chip in something during my next visit in January. You too can make a difference. Affliction is meant to test your compassion; persecution is meant to test your resilience. We overcome both when we reach out to the other and say: “I know how you feel”. This has given strength, unity of purpose and triumph to societies that were once rocked to their foundation. We too can sacrifice something small to achieve it.I continue to ask God to help me to do his Will, and to do what is right. That He will help me to show that same love I received during those bleak and desperate moments to others in need.

The director of the National School of Administration and Magistracy has suggested that the name of the man who passed the exams even without taking the last phase be replaced with that of a candidate still alive.
This comes amid increasing calls for more light to be shed on the incident.
A man from the South region is reported to have passed the exams, though he had died before the final part.
The director of ENAM believes that it was an error.
This session of the exams is one of the most controversial, with the Minister of Public Service adding hundreds of names to a list initially published by the director.
This new twist in events has made pundits wonder if the list of successful candidates for any competitive entrance exam is pre-established before the exam is taken.

Dialogue, reconciliation and peace building remain so focal for normal life to return and for this to occur, genuine justice must be meted out.
The state has failed to understand that violence only begets violence and the embers of war are fueled.
Sending troops from across LA Republique Du Cameroun into the Southern Cameroon's was a miscalculation and its consequences are far reaching and devastating.
Today LA Republique Du Cameroun must understand that dialogue and reconciliation are cheaper options than obtaining weapons of war and using armed militia to fight a senseless war.
The senseless war has devastated the economy and hasten the death of many innocent lives that won't have died
Can't truth be delivered to these soldiers that lives have a sacred value and that it must not be destroyed at will.
