Children in Cameroon have resumed school for the 2026/2027 academic year. However, those in the Northwest and Southwest have stayed behind because of meaningless ghost town orders and lockdowns.
It appears children, soft targets during armed conflicts, have become the priority of separatist fighters bent on frustrating their education. How can they justify this to the regime in Yaoundé by stopping children from going to school?
After the two-week lockdown and children returning to school, what then? Nothing. But by the time those in the Northwest and Southwest resume, their peers are already ahead.
Now, when opportunities come, children from outside the region get them first, and then the Amba fighters come to justify marginalization.
There is nowhere in the world where people fight a conflict by stopping children from going to school. A part of Spain wants separation, a part of Canada wants separation, and even a part of Morocco. In these countries, children's education has never been used as a bargaining chip.
So, why should the separatists in Cameroon go after school children?

Personne ne les a jamais exploitées.
Ça va changer.

Gunfire as Security Forces Abduct Businessman Aladji Bahia in Garoua After Failing to Find His Son
There was panic in the Camp Chinois neighbourhood of Garoua this evening after security forces abducted prominent businessman Aladji Bahia, owner of the SOACAM company, during a chaotic operation marked by gunfire.
According to local sources, the armed men arrived intending to arrest Bahia’s son, whom they accuse of “helping Issa Tchiroma escape the country.” When they did not find him, they instead seized his father.
Witnesses say the officers forcibly pulled Aladji Bahia from his vehicle as residents rushed to intervene. The security forces reportedly fired shots in the air to disperse the crowd before taking him away to an unknown location.
The incident has led to many questioning why an elderly businessman was taken in place of his son — a practice human rights observers describe as collective punishment, which is illegal under both Cameroonian and international law.
The abduction comes amid a nationwide crackdown following the disputed October 12 presidential election, during which thousands have been arrested, abducted, or disappeared for alleged links to HE Issa Tchiroma Bakary.
As of now, authorities have issued no public statement on Aladji Bahia’s whereabouts or condition.

Talked w/ @P_VanDamme_EU regarding his fears for Cameroon. As Ex-EU Amb in Zimbabwe, he saw Mugabe fall. As prev EU Amb in Cameroon, he knows election stakes. What are his fears for Cameroon?
One thing: He knows what takes dictators down.

You can’t go out to protest
You can’t speak out against oppression
Fine! do the easiest thing, Just stay home.
Protest by sitting with your family, by refusing to be part of the system for 2/3days
Silence can shake power too.
Stay home for change ✊🏾

92 yr old Paul Biya, whom the Constitutional Council claims was “reelected,” has not been seen or heard from since Election Day, October 12.
No victory speech. Not a word of thanks. Not a word of condolence for the dozens killed in his name. Nothing.
The guy has simply disappeared.

Quel beau message: Moi jamais je ne sortirai, jamais je ne dirai à quelqu’un de sortir, et jamais je ne me moquerai de celui qui a osé se battre pour ce qu’il estime être son avenir. Un avenir que nous partageons tous malgré nos différences. On ne se bat pas pour une personne mais un idéal commun… (..)

Justice for Cameroon
Dear Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION!
Our neighbors are fighting the battle of their entire lives, & it could be us. Cameroon is a reminder of our EndSARS Struggle, & they need our collective voices, they need our support!
Many have paid the ultimate price, as Paul Biya’s forces have opened fire on protesters.
What started as a highly disputed election, is now a showdown between light & darkness. So it’s light or darkness, YOU CHOOSE!
Only one camp is going to emerge victorious.
As a humanist & a pacifist, I support the long-suffering & deprived people of Cameroon in their struggle for freedom. For Cameroonians above 43 years, the 92 year-old Paul Biya is all they have known in all of their lives……..
Almost two generations have passed, & Paul Biya has refused to step aside for young Cameroonians to have a fighting chance.
Paul is how the insanely corrupt & greedy gets propped up by a 47 year-old Emmanuel Macron of France (to murder his own people).
Many Cameroonians have died; others live to count & bury their losses. The cross movement of statistics of horror is staggering. Our hope is that someday, somehow, & in some ways; your victory will trump the brutality. An end to Gerontocracy & its brother - GREED.
Africa is a problem to itself, the continent under occupation by black hand. Almost everywhere on the continent is burning. But the AU & ECOWAS are congratulating dictators. Ruler or no ruler, the conditions remain the same.
Africa received independence in the 60s, but are yet to be independent. Geriatrics in diapers get to power, & refuse to leave. Then they draw wicked inspiration from among themselves, & begin to crush the will of the people. I have seen happen over & over, & it’s unending.
From Uganda to Cameroon, Ivory Coast to Equatorial Guinea, down to Zimbabwe & the Congo. All across Africa, the problem is the same. You have the syndrome of “Sit-Tightism” sweeping across the continent, & Nigerians are wary of the Bola Tinubu’s growing & incendiary emasculation of Institutions in Nigeria.
Many pay attention, but can do nothing….
In Cameroon: people keep on voting. The magistratures & the legislatures continue to seat. And that was how the Pseudo-Democracy in Cameroon died out, without any official proclamation. In small circles of proletariat bureaucracy, piss-poor Cameroonians feel terribly betrayed. Now many want to know how the story will end. Paul Biya is the only man many Cameroonians watched on the TV growing up. They watch against their will.
So I like the story of victory, how underdogs can win. I urge you Cameroonians, don’t give up the fight. Posterity is with you. The world is with you. All the angels & Saints hear you.
And when you would have won the battle of attrition, your pent-up euphoria will erupt like a volcano. From that moment on, patriotism will be your anthem. The mood of all of Cameroon.
