The Cameroonian government has approved a 500 billion FCFA plan to transform the coastal area between Limbe and Mondoli into an El Dorado of ecotourism.

The Limbe-Mondoli tourism project, according to the Minister of Tourism and Leisure, Gabriel Mbairobe, is an ambitious initiative aimed at developing a "futuristic city" in Limbe, focusing on transforming the coastal area into a premier tourist destination.

The smart city project is estimated at 500 billion XAF.

The areas include Ndame Island, Mondoli/Motondo, and Bimbia, with infrastructure that will be developed into tourist cabins, hotels, hospital, water taxi services, restaurants, and solar power to boost the local blue economy.

While approving the project during a cabinet meeting recently, Prime Minister Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute stated that it will bring more than 10,000 direct and indirect jobs.

🇨🇲 Big Congratulations to Queen Kong!

Four years of patience and those "long-range shots" have finally hit the back of the net. While the music industry might have missed her powerful vocals, fans are absolutely thrilled to hear this news. That Ballon d'Or (or should we say, Baby Kong?) is going to be the most precious trophy in her collection.

Here’s to a healthy pregnancy and a new chapter filled with even sweeter melodies! 🏆🍼🔥

𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗮:

A search is underway for a young woman identified as Verma Tchinda, who reportedly abandoned her four children with a neighbor in the Bonamoussadi neighborhood in Douala before disappearing nearly a week ago.

According to local accounts, Ms. Tchinda approached a neighbor seeking temporary assistance, asking if they could look after her children for just two days. However, more than six days have passed, and the mother has not returned, nor has she been reachable by phone or through known contacts.

The neighbor, who has been providing for the children out of compassion, revealed a complex family situation: the four children reportedly have four different fathers, none of whom have come forward.
As the days turn into a week, the caregiver is struggling to sustain the children’s needs and is making an urgent public appeal.

"I initially agreed to help for two days, but it has now been close to a week. I am pleading with anyone who knows Verma Tchinda, her relatives, or the fathers of these children to step forward and take responsibility," the neighbor stated.

Community members and relatives of Ms. Tchinda are urged to intervene immediately to ensure the welfare of the minors. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the mother or her extended family is encouraged to contact local community leaders or the authorities in Douala.

The children remain in the temporary care of the neighbor, though concerns are mounting regarding their long-term safety and the legal implications of the abandonment.

A meeting of the Parliament in Congress (a joint session of the National Assembly and the Senate) is a rare and significant constitutional event. While the 1996 Constitution has been the bedrock of the country's governance for exactly 30 years, today's move signals a major shift in the institutional landscape.
Given the current political climate in April 2026, here are the key areas likely under review:

1. Executive Succession & The Vice-Presidency

For months, there has been intense speculation regarding the creation of a Vice-President position. This role would likely be designed to ensure a stable transition of power and address concerns about the "vacancy of power" procedures currently handled by the President of the Senate.

2. Electoral Calendar Adjustments
This Congress comes immediately after the recent law (Law No. 2026/001) that extended the mandate of Members of Parliament until December 20, 2026.Constitutional adjustments may be required to permanently harmonize the legislative and presidential election cycles, which have seen multiple "readjustments" recently due to logistical and security constraints.

3. Decentralization & Regional Governance
Since the 1996 Constitution first introduced the concept of "Regions," the process of decentralizing power has been a slow, 30-year journey. The review may look to:
Strengthen the financial autonomy of Regional Councils.
Clarify the "Special Status" provisions for the Northwest and Southwest regions to further address the ongoing sociopolitical crisis.

4. Judicial & Rights Reforms
There have been ongoing calls to modernize the Constitutional Council and further entrench the independence of the judiciary, especially concerning the "Common Law" sections created in 2017 to respect the country’s bi-jural heritage.
Note on the 1996 Legacy: The 1996 amendment was a landmark that introduced the Senate and the 7-year presidential term. Reviewing it today, three decades later, suggests the State is looking to adapt the "New Deal" framework to a very different modern reality.

𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙉𝙤𝙪𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣:
𝙁𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮 "𝙀𝙭𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙨" 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙑𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙠

In the quiet village of Koupat, located in the Noun Division, a family has taken drastic measures to discipline their married daughter following a high-profile scandal.
The woman at the center of the controversy, Samira, is the wife of a Cameroonian currently living and working in Gabon.

According to local reports, Samira allegedly engaged in a series of extramarital affairs during her husband’s prolonged absences or stayed in Gabon.The situation escalated from private indiscretion to public humiliation when one of Samira’s lovers, reportedly captivated by their relationship, began sharing intimate videos of their encounters on social media.

Far from keeping the affair discreet, the man used the platforms to boast openly about Samira’s physical prowess, drawing massive engagement and causing the footage to go viral. The digital trail quickly reached the husband in Gabon, sparking outrage within both families and the wider community.

The "Exorcism" of Infidelity
Faced with what they perceived as a deep dishonor, Samira’s family intervened. Driven by a mix of traditional beliefs and a desire to punish her behavior, the family performed a ritualistic "exorcism."
Believing that her seductive charm was rooted in her physical appearance. In a symbolic act of stripping away her "seductive power," they forcibly shaved her head to cast out what they described as the "demon of infidelity."

While local tradition in some areas of the Noun region places a heavy emphasis on marital fidelity and family honor, the public nature of the punishment has sparked a debate over the intersection of traditional discipline and modern privacy in the age of social media.

As of now, it remains unclear if local authorities have intervened in the matter or if charges will be filed regarding the non-consensual distribution of intimate imagery—a crime increasingly scrutinized under Cameroon's cybersecurity laws.

𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗠𝗢𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗘 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗧𝗔𝗫 𝗚𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗡:

Starting April 1, 2026, the Cameroon Government is implementing a new digital system to collect customs duties on imported mobile phones, tablets, and digital devices, aiming for CFA 25 billion annually. The tax, roughly 33.05% of the device's value, is now levied directly on importers, rather than being deducted from user airtime, to curb smuggling.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺

The new digital collection system, targeting imports, goes into effect on April 1, 2026. The responsibility for paying the customs duties lies with the importers (professional or occasional Importers), rather than the end-user's airtime, aiming to stop smuggling and modernize revenue collection.

The total duties and taxes on mobile phones are around 33.05% of their taxable value.

Customs clearance is done via the CAMCIS platform, with payments made electronically via Mobile Money or Orange Money.
Verification (IMEI tracking):

The system uses a centralized platform, tracking the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. Only phones that have cleared customs, are in roaming mode, or receive a tax amnesty can connect to local networks.

A “fiscal amnesty” is offered for phones already in use in Cameroon before April 1, 2026, as well as for devices used by tourists.

Following the implementation of the new mobile phone tax in Cameroon, the financial burden on importers has increased significantly. To put the figures into perspective, here is a mathematical breakdown of the tax implications:

𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀:
For a basic smartphone valued at 50,000 CFA, importers are now subject to a tax of 16,525 CFA.

𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀:
For a basic analog (shoronko) phone valued at 5,000 CFA, the tax amount stands at 1,653 CFA.

By extension, these additional costs will inevitably be passed down from importers to the end-users, leading to a noticeable rise in retail prices across the mobile market.
