Thank you, Carlos. 💙🤍

The 21-year-old midfielder has joined Manchester United for an undisclosed fee after joining Albion from Lille in the summer of 2023.

In that time, the Cameroon international made 112 appearances for the club, scoring four goals.

Sporting director Mike Cave said, “Carlos has made a significant contribution during his time with us and we’ve seen him develop both as a player and person here.

“When Carlos arrived he was a young player with huge potential and, through his own hard work and commitment together with the support of our coaches and staff, he has developed into an outstanding Premier League midfielder.

“This is a move that Carlos was keen to make and we respect that he wants to take this opportunity at this stage of his career. We would like to thank him for everything he has done during his time at Brighton and wish him every success in the next chapter of his journey.”

A native of Douala, Cameroon, Baleba started his career with Futur Soccer before joining the Ecole de Football des Brasseries du Cameroun academy.
He signed for Lille in January 2022 and made his senior breakthrough with the French club before joining Albion in August 2023.

Cameroon has lost one of its great voices of memory and historical storytelling. According to several Cameroonian media outlets, Ananie Rabier Bindji passed away on Monday, August 24, 2026, in Bonaberi, Douala, following a long illness. His passing marks the loss of a unique figure in Cameroonian journalism and a privileged witness to decades of history in both the country and the African continent.

Born in Douala in the early 1940s, Ananie Rabier Bindji grew up in a modest environment, specifically in the area around the Central Market and the Goat Market. It was a challenging childhood, yet it did not prevent him from rising through the ranks. After attending Collège Libermann, he entered a military school in Brazzaville in 1956. However, his path ultimately took a different turn—towards journalism and the sharing of knowledge.

Trained in journalism in France, he cut his teeth in print media, contributing notably to *Jeune Afrique* and *Africa International*. For decades, his writing chronicled African current affairs. He later moved into broadcasting in Cameroon, gradually establishing himself as a leading figure in the national media landscape.

However, it was primarily through *La Tribune de l’Histoire*—broadcast on Canal 2 International—that Ananie Rabier Bindji left his most enduring mark. On screen, he did not merely recount history; he brought it back to life.

His programs brought together former political leaders, key figures from the decolonization era, witnesses to independence, and personalities who shaped Cameroon’s trajectory. His goal was to give a voice to those who had witnessed these events and to bring to light aspects of national history that were sometimes little-known or controversial.

Doté d’une mémoire exceptionnelle et d’une connaissance profonde de l’histoire politique du Cameroun et de l’Afrique, Bindji était devenu au fil des années une véritable archive vivante. Ses interventions, son ton, ses souvenirs et sa capacité à replacer les événements dans leur contexte en avaient fait une figure incontournable du journalisme historique au Cameroun.

Son parcours n’a toutefois pas été exempt de turbulences. En 2008, son implication dans une émission consacrée à l’Opération Épervier lui vaut une convocation à la police judiciaire de Douala. Il fera partie des journalistes poursuivis dans le cadre d’un débat portant notamment sur des enquêtes visant un ancien dirigeant de Camair. Une période qui illustre aussi les difficultés rencontrées par la presse camerounaise dans l’exercice de sa liberté d’expression.

Au fil des années, il continuera pourtant à prendre la parole sur les grandes questions qui traversent le pays et le continent, de l’histoire politique camerounaise à la crise anglophone, en passant par la place des militaires dans la gouvernance des États africains.

Ce lundi 24 août 2026, la voix s’est tue. Mais les récits demeurent. Les témoignages recueillis, les archives exhumées et les nombreuses heures d’antenne de La Tribune de l’Histoire continueront de porter la trace d’un homme qui aura consacré une grande partie de sa vie à interroger le passé pour mieux comprendre le présent.

Ananie Rabier Bindji s’en va, mais le gardien de la mémoire laisse derrière lui une œuvre qui continuera de raconter le Cameroun et l’Afrique aux générations futures.

Cameroon's president draws concern and criticism by staying abroad for 2 months

The 93-year-old leader of Cameroon is Paul Biya, who has served as president since November 1982. Widely characterized by critics and human rights organizations as an authoritarian dictator, he is currently the world's oldest serving head of state and the second-longest-ruling president in Africa.

Keeper Bihina stars as Cameroon upset Morocco to make Wafcon final

Michaely Bihina was the heroine as the Cameroon goalkeeper saved an extra-time penalty and three more spot kicks in a shootout to send her side though to the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) final at the expense of host nation Morocco.
The 22-year-old pushed away Fatima Tagnaout’s attempt from 12 yards in the 118th minute to ensure the game in Rabat finished 0-0 after 120 minutes.
Bihina then brilliantly kept out efforts from Kenza Chapelle, Maryame Atiq and Sakina Ouzraoui to leave the Moulay Hassan Stadium in stunned silence.
Teenage Cameroon defender Maryam Nyadjou held her nerve to secure a 3-1 win on penalties for the Central Africans.
The Indomitable Lionesses will face Malawi in Sunday’s final (19:00 GMT) after the southern Africans beat Algeria 3-1 earlier on Wednesday.
Cameroon’s run to the final is all the more remarkable given they were knocked out in qualifying and only progressed to the finals on the strength of their world ranking after the Confederation of African Football decided to expand the tournament to 16 teams midway through the preliminary process.

The lionesses head coach is a No-name in world football but guess what she just did? She just beat the coach who won the 2023 world cup with Spain. Yes..

I remember the day she was appointed head coach, I read all sorts of gibberish on the Media against Eto’o for believing in a Cameroonians woman.

Some people drafted write-ups to start dragging Eto’o but this coach and her team are shaming them. They’ll shamelessly delete those drafts and wallow in shame

Still only 34, the Somali referee has been breaking new ground for the past decade – and Salzburg will be no different.

Omar Artan will not forget the past 18 months in a hurry. In that short space of time, the 34-year-old has become the first Somali to oversee a Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF) Champions League final before he received the CAF Men’s Referee of the Year Award 2025 and subsequently earned selection to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

He will now become the first non-European to take charge of the UEFA Super Cup. And the surprising thing, for those who have followed his rise, is that it is somehow not surprising at all.

Of course, not everything has gone to plan. Artan was not permitted to enter the United States for the World Cup, and the disappointment in being unable to realise that aspiration – for now – is palpable.

“It was a very tough period,” he admits. “A lot of people have sympathy for me, because when someone has been working a lot of years and is supposed to do something, and then can’t do it, it’s very challenging. I really appreciate the support I received throughout the world, though; I’m so grateful.

Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2026: The Indomitable Lionesses defeat Nigeria and advance to the semi-finals

Eight years after their last appearance at this stage of the competition, the Indomitable Lionesses have reached the semi-finals of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. Cameroon caused a sensation this Sunday in Casablanca by eliminating defending champions Nigeria after a hard-fought quarter-final.

They needed to be solid, disciplined, and above all, believe in their chances until the very end. Facing Nigeria, the favorite on paper, Cameroon delivered a performance of character to win by the narrowest of margins. This victory allows the Cameroonian women to reach the continental semi-finals for the first time since 2018.

Nyadjou, a free kick and a moment of inspiration worth their weight in gold

The breakthrough came in the 20th minute. From a perfectly placed free kick just outside the box, Myriam Nyadjou curled her shot perfectly into the top corner of the Nigerian goal.

A strike as precise as it was spectacular, which allowed the Lionesses to take control of a match they knew would be particularly complicated.

Because behind them, Nigeria gradually imposed their rhythm. With 62% possession and eight shots on target, the Super Falcons largely occupied the Cameroonian half and multiplied their attacks, particularly in the second half.

But faced with this constant pressure, the Cameroonian women offered a collective response: solidarity, commitment, and selflessness. United by a particularly disciplined defense, they withstood the successive attacks of the African champions.
