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 Ministry of Public Works has just officially launched the 2016 road
maintenance campaign. According to the senior officers of this ministry, this
year, a budget of FCfa 90 billion has been allocated to the road maintenance
works in the country.
Thanks
to this funding, of which about half (FCfa 42 billion) comes from unused
resources carried over from 2014 and 2015, the Cameroonian government plans to
maintain over 16,000 km of roads throughout the country this year, we
officially learned.
As
a reminder, less than 10% the Cameroonian road network is maintained, due to
insufficient resources allocated to the works, Jean Claude Atanga Bikoé,
Administrator of the Road Fund, recently confided. Indeed, we learned, the main
source of resources for these works come from part of the special tax on oil
products paid by oil products distributors.
This licence fee is currently, the
Road Fund Administrator said, of FCfa 55 billion per year, while the
maintenance cost of a single kilometre of unpaved road, with the network
estimated to have 100,000 km (excluding tarred roads), is on average of FCfa 2
billion.

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.
