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.

The Cameroonian
authorities on Tuesday ignored the statements made by the leader of the
Nigerian terror sect, Abubakar Shekau in a recent unauthenticated video in
which he seems to predict his end.
Reacting to the
footage, the Minister of Defence, Joseph Beti Assomo declared on national
television CRTV:
"We do not pay importance to Shekau’s video".
He
insisted, Cameroon will not be distracted by such statements, before reassuring
citizens that the war against Boko Haram will continue.
In
a video posted on YouTube Thursday, the Boko Haram leader told his fighters in
Arabic that they can say goodbye to their illusory Islamic state and disarm.
Shekau’s
poor quality video, in which he appeared weak with an emaciated face, seemed to
herald the end of the sect.
For
me, the end is nigh. May Allah protect us from evil, I thank my creator, he
declared in Hausa and Arabic.
Despite
some sporadic raids in Cameroon, Niger and Chad, Boko Haram’s capacity has
significantly diminished.
The
group is also faltering in Nigeria, where its fighters have suffered a series
of setbacks in recent months thanks to the Joint Multinational Force (FMM) and
the armies of Cameroon and Chad.

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.
