An avian flu epizootic discovers in poultry complex in Yaounde, Cameroon
Following an avian flu epizootic,
the Mvog-Betsi poultry Complex, one of the main players in the poultry industry
in Cameroon, just lost approximately 24,000 birds, equivalent to 75% of its
livestock, the Cameroonian Minister of Livestock, Dr Taïga announced. The
remainder of the flock was killed and all carcasses were buried, this member of
the government highlighted.
In order to avoid any spreading
of the epizootic, the Mvog-Betsi poultry complex has been put practically under
quarantine since the end of last week. According to our sources, specialized
teams continue the incineration operations for all the equipment of the farm,
as well as the total disinfection of the complex, which could last over a
month.
Once the epizootic declared, the
Ministry of Livestock sent a mission in the Western region, the largest
production area of the country, to assess the situation and warn farmers to
heighten the vigilance and sanitary measures in the farms.
The last case of avian flu found
in Cameroon dates back to March 2006 in the Extreme-North region, when analyses
done on a duck carcass detected the presence of the H5N1 virus in its organism.
This discovery created to a full-blown psychosis within the Cameroonian
population, leading to the collapse of the local poultry market which quickly
became the stage for unprecedented sales.
This psychosis also led to the
slaughtering of an important stock of poultry by farmers, who later received
over FCfa 600 million from the Cameroonian government as compensation. The
local poultry sector was again injured, when it had barely recovered after the
ban on the imports of frozen chicken.

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.
