Unveiling Tomorrow's Cameroon Through Today's News

Breaking

Over the years, the rich Southern Cameroons Regions, especially the naturally endowed Fako Division have been the preserve of Francophone administrators.
The rich oil and land of Fako Division are enjoyed by Francophones at the detriment of the real owners.
A closer look at the administrators, who have ruled in Fako Division since the late 1990s, shows that all of them have been Frnacophones.
 When Jean Mengue Meka served as Fako SDO, his successors have only been Francophones.
Meka left the SDO’s Office in Limbe in 1991 and was replaced by Robert Ngambi Dikoume.
Ngambi was transferred in 2004 and Bernard Okalia Bilai took over. By the close of 2008, Bernard Okalia Bilai handed over to Jules Marcellin Ndjaga.
Ndjaga was did not rule for long when in 2010, he was appointed Governor of the South Region and handed over to Francois Bona Ebengue, another Francophone.
Bona Ebengue did not also last for long when in October 2012; he was sent on retirement and Georges Zang III took over the baton of command.
Many Anglophones were expecting that the Presidential Decree of Monday, July 3 that sent Zang III on retirement was going to usher in an Anglophone as administrator of Fako, given the current crisis rocking the English-speaking Regions of Cameroon.
But Biya has once again snubbed the Anglophones and appointed Emmanuel Engamba Ledoux, another Francophone as SDO of the rich oil and land Fako Division.
Many Anglophones are now saying that Fako Division with its juicy resource has become a milking cow for Francophone Administrators, while Anglophones are sent to economic barren Divisions as DOs and SDOs.
