Friday, February fourteenth, the UN says at least 22 people have been killed in a village in the Northwest region of Cameroon. Over half of those killed were children. No one has claimed responsibility for Friday’s incident but the opposition parties blame the killing on the government.
AFCON: Cameroon 2-2 South Africa
The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon shattered South Africa’s AFCON qualifying hopes by leveling their encounter to a 2-2 draw in Limbe.
South Africa’s side headed to Limbe without a win in their opening two Group M matches and an opener from Tokelo Rantie was cancelled out by Cameroon forward Sebastien Siani on the stroke of half-time.
But Mamelodi Sundowns player Kekana then took centre stage with a sensational 49th-minute strike that is set to define his career.
Nicolas Nkoulou nodded home to earn a point for new boss Hugo Broos in his first match, meaning Cameroon are a point ahead of Mauritania and five better off than South Africa ahead of Tuesday's return in Durban.
South Africa goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune was grateful to see the loose ball scrambled clear when he spilt an early shot from Christian Bekamenga, and his side led in the 15th minute.
AFC Bournemouth striker Rantie darted in behind a sluggish Cameroon backline and coolly rounded Guy N'dy Assembe to score.
Khune made a stunning reaction save when Edgar Salli crashed a volley towards the top corner from a 38th-minute corner, while Rantie's earlier composure deserted him when he scuffed a shot against Assembe's boot on the end of a one-two from Mandla Masango.
Siani crashed home a fine effort from outside the area to haul Cameroon level but Kekana would relegate this to a footnote.
Collecting possession towards the right flank, around 60 yards from goal, the 30-year-old audaciously took aim with Bekamenga off his line and the ball sailed unerringly into the centre of the goal.
Cameroon, perhaps understandably, struggled to regain their poise but equalised for a second time when Marseille defender Nkoulou converted a 66th-minute set-piece.
South Africa defender Thulani Hlatshwayo hacked off his own goal line in stoppage time before Thulani Serero had strong penalty claims rejected at the other end in a frantic finish to a match that will be long remembered for Kekana's exploits.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
