Christmas Without Tears: Senator Françoise Puene Brings Hope to the Vulnerable, Decorated Ambassador of Peace

Christmas came early for dozens of vulnerable persons in Yaoundé as Senator Françoise Puene, fondly known as Mami Nyanga, extended a powerful gesture of love, solidarity and hope to persons with disabilities and street children. The humanitarian ceremony took place on December 22, 2025, at the Franco Hotel in Yaoundé, turning the festive season into a moment of dignity and renewed purpose for the beneficiaries.
Under the theme “Christmas Without Tears,” the event blended charity with recognition, as Senator Puene was officially decorated as an Ambassador of Peace in recognition of her sustained commitment to social cohesion, humanitarian action and the promotion of peace values in Cameroon and beyond.
The distinction was conferred during the 4th edition of the Cultural Night of Peace, organised by international peace and cultural bodies in collaboration with Cameroonian partners. Leading the delegation was Mr. Modeste Chumba, Chancellor of Nations Invested in Africa by Mandela and an international cultural operator from the Democratic Republic of Congo. In his address, he praised Cameroon’s hospitality and highlighted Senator Puene’s humanitarian virtues, describing her as a woman whose actions actively consolidate peace, social justice and national unity.
“This joy we have witnessed here must travel beyond borders,” Chumba said, noting that laureates would later be invited to international peace conferences in Europe and Africa. He stressed that Africa’s development depends on recognising living contributors who promote integrity, solidarity and respect for human dignity.
Visibly moved, Senator Puene accepted the peace insignia with humility, emphasising that she did not seek the honour but received it as encouragement to do more. She dedicated the recognition to fellow laureates, women leaders and, above all, to children and persons with disabilities whom she described as “companions of every day.”
In a heartfelt message, Mami Nyanga reminded the audience that disability is not inability, noting that “we are all the disabled of tomorrow.” She urged the beneficiaries to see themselves as seeds of the future and ambassadors of peace in their communities.
As Christmas approached, the ceremony stood as a strong reminder that peace, compassion and shared humanity remain the greatest gifts of all.

By YUSINYU OMER YINYU

At a time when questions around civic space, governance, and democratic participation dominate national conversations, the 2025 edition of the Civil Society–State Dialogue offered a rare and timely platform for reflection, engagement, and consensus-building in Cameroon. Organized by the Network for Solidarity, Empowerment and Transformation for All (NewSETA), the dialogue held in Yaoundé convened over 60 participants drawn from civil society organizations, media houses, Parliament, and key government ministries.

Participants included representatives of the Ministry of Territorial Administration (MINAT), the Ministry of External Relations (MINREX), lawmakers, journalists, and governance experts.

Opening the dialogue, NewSETA’s Executive Director, Derick Ndzi, set a clear tone: development, he argued, cannot thrive in isolation.

Ndu Council Sets National Benchmark in Disability Inclusion, Extends Christmas Support to Over 90 Residents

Fresh from being crowned Cameroon’s most disability-inclusive municipality, the Ndu Council has once again demonstrated its commitment to inclusive governance, this time with a heartfelt gesture ahead of the festive season. On Wednesday, December 10, 2025, the council supported more than 90 people living with disabilities with bags of rice to help them celebrate Christmas with dignity and joy.

Speaking during the distribution ceremony, the Second Deputy Mayor, Mr. Nsame Emmanuel, who represented Mayor Abdou Borno Karfon, reaffirmed the council’s unwavering dedication to uplifting vulnerable groups. He announced that the council will sponsor school fees for 15 children living with disabilities, a move he said reflects Ndu Council’s belief in equal opportunity for all. “Inclusivity is not an event; it is our daily commitment,” he noted, promising continued support through the council’s social programmes.

This latest initiative comes just days after the council received the First Prize for Good Excellence in Disability Inclusion, along with a cash award of 1.5 million FCFA. The honour, conferred during the national celebration of the International Day of Persons Living with Disabilities in Yaoundé, was bestowed under the patronage of the Minister of Social Affairs. Mayor Abdou Borno Karfon, who received the award on behalf of the municipality, described it as “a motivation to continue building a community where no one is left behind.”

The accolade celebrates councils that demonstrate exceptional leadership in creating accessible environments and equitable opportunities. Ndu Council’s achievements, ranging from inclusive infrastructure to education support and targeted social protection, were highlighted as standout examples of progressive local governance.

Recipients of the Christmas support expressed heartfelt gratitude, noting that the council’s actions continue to prove its sensitivity to their needs and aspirations. As the year draws to a close, Ndu Council’s efforts serve as a compelling reminder of the transformative impact local institutions can have when inclusivity is placed at the centre of development.

In a country striving to improve social protection systems, Ndu has positioned itself as a trailblazer, leading not just with words, but with consistent, community-focused action.

CRP Demands International Probe Into Custodial Death of Opposition Leader Anicet Ekani

The Cameroon Reformation Party (CRP) has called for an urgent independent investigation into the death of prominent opposition leader Anicet Ekani, who reportedly died while in state custody. Ekani, head of the African Movement for New Independence and Democracy (MANIDEM) and a long-standing critic of the regime, had been detained despite widely publicised concerns about his health.

In a strongly worded statement issued on Monday December 1, 2025, CRP leader Foligar Lang condemned the government for what he described as a “profound indictment of the human rights situation and the state of political detention in Cameroon.” Lang said the state failed in its basic responsibility to ensure Ekani’s safety, noting that repeated warnings about his declining health and the “stressful and unsuitable” conditions of his detention were disregarded.

“The passing of Anicet Ekani in the state’s care is not merely a tragedy; it is a damning reflection of the current treatment of political detainees,” Lang said. “The regime must be held accountable for the loss of a courageous voice for change.”

Ekani’s death has intensified scrutiny of Cameroon’s penitentiary system, where human rights organisations have long decried overcrowding, inadequate medical facilities and poor sanitary conditions. The CRP argues that the circumstances surrounding his death raise urgent questions about whether political detainees receive the medical attention and protection they are entitled to under national and international law.

The CRP outlined three key demands: A transparent inquiry led by international medical and human rights experts to establish the cause of death and assess state responsibility, the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners held on what it describes as dubious charges and has urged authorities to bring all detention centres up to internationally accepted standards of health, sanitation and humane treatment.

“The memory of Anicet Ekani must not fade into yet another unaccounted tragedy,” Lang asserted. “His legacy will continue to inspire the struggle for a more democratic and just Cameroon.”

The party extended heartfelt condolences to Ekani’s family, supporters and political allies.

The Cameroon Civil Defence and Intelligence (CCDI) commission has graduated its maiden batch of trainees, marking a historic milestone in the country’s quest to strengthen civil protection, intelligence professionalism, and national development capacity. The ceremony, held at the University of Yaoundé I campus, brought together administrators, trainers, parents and partners who have accompanied the institution’s demanding nine-month professional programme.

In his opening address, the Director of Consultancy, Dr. Killian Tameh, expressed profound appreciation to the trainees for the “enormous sacrifices” made throughout their training. He also thanked parents and guardians for standing firmly behind the students and acknowledged the lecturers who, in his words, “equipped the trainees with the knowledge they need to face the task ahead.”

Reflecting on the journey of the first cohort, Dr. Tameh noted that beginning such an institution came with inevitable challenges, especially in ensuring professionalism, technical grounding, and ethical discipline. However, he emphasised that CCDI sought experts in each field—from communication for development, technical English, public speaking and geopolitics to agribusiness and climate intelligence—to ensure robust training.
