Cameroon Anglophone Crisis: Donald Trump message to the Congress to terminte trade benefits for Cameroon over increasing human right violations
STATEMENTS & RELEASES
Message to the Congress
In accordance with section 506A(a)(3)(B) of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 2466a(a)(3)(B)), I am providing notice of my intent to
terminate the designation of the Republic of Cameroon (Cameroon) as a
beneficiary sub-Saharan African country under the African Growth and
Opportunity Act (AGOA).
I am taking this step because I have determined that the Government of
Cameroon currently engages in gross violations of internationally
recognized human rights, contravening the eligibility requirements of section
104 of the AGOA.
Despite intensive engagement between the United States and the
Government of Cameroon, Cameroon has failed to address concerns regarding
persistent human rights violations being committed by Cameroonian security
forces. These violations include extrajudicial killings, arbitrary and
unlawful detention, and torture.
Accordingly, I intend to terminate the designation of Cameroon as a
beneficiary sub-Saharan African country under the AGOA as of January 1,
2020. I will continue to assess whether the Government of Cameroon
engages in gross violations of internationally recognized human rights, in
accordance with the AGOA eligibility requirements.
DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
October 31, 2019.

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.
