Cameroon (OSV News) — Father Christophe Komla Badjougou a priest of the Diocese of Yagoua in northern Cameroon waiting for the gate to be opened at the residence of a religious congregation where he was staying A leading Catholic cleric in Cameroon has narrated the harrowing details of how a Togolese priest was murdered While waiting for the night watchman to come and open (the gate) he was shot by two men on a bike,” Msgr Father Komla Badjougou was supposed to spend the night at the Missionaries of the Immaculate Heart of Mary secretary general of Cameroon’s bishops’ conference because there were eight holes in his body which means that he was shot several times — on his hands adding that it was still too early to say who shot the priest “Maybe they (the killers) were just ordinary common thieves because they took away his little bag where he certainly had some money but his traveling bag remained,” he added Archbishop Jean Mbarga of Yaoundé expressed “deep sorrow” following the murder of the priest in his Oct as well as solidarity and spiritual closeness with Bishop Barthélemy Yaouda Hourgo and the people of God in the priest’s home Diocese of Yagoua the Archdiocese of Yaoundé offers its heartfelt condolences to the family of Father Christophe and to the faithful of the Diocese of Yagoua,” Archbishop Mbarga said “The Archdiocese of Yaoundé strongly condemns all forms of aggression and reminds the public that all human life is sacred and inviolable,” he added He asked for prayers for the priest and said his murder is being investigated Bishop Hourgo of Yagoua said the priest was “gunned down in a despicable manner by malicious faithless and as yet unidentified individuals.” we join the biological family of the deceased his friends and his brothers to implore the Most High to grant him eternal rest,” the bishop said He called on public authorities to carry out “a thorough and transparent investigation to elucidate the circumstances and motives behind this cruelty.” Nyaga said the most recent killing further illustrates the fact that there is “no respect for the sacredness of life in this country any longer.” “We have been going through this for years now,” the priest said but the recent killing adds to a rather long list of the killing of Catholic priests and bishops in Cameroon That list includes Father Alexandre Sob Nougi pastor of the Parish of the Sacred Heart in Bomaka the same year Kenyan Father Cosmas Omboto Ondari 58-year-old Bishop Jean-Marie Benoît Balla of Bafia was brutally murdered “There is a lot of violence,” Msgr saying that the complete lack of respect for human life and dignity in the country was baffling we are facing difficulties just as people face difficulties everywhere in the world but to reach this level of lack of respect for human life or human dignity is troubling,” he told OSV News He said the killing of Father Komla Badjougou is a reminder that “the proclamation of the Gospel goes along with suffering Keep mourning from morning to the evening?” the priest asked I think we should continue to carry out our mission The proclamation of the Gospel goes along with suffering “This is what our Lord Jesus told us I believe as Jesus said that the world doesn’t like the light And the Gospel message the church proclaims is the message of light and that’s why light and darkness are always in battle,” he said “So I don’t think those priests and bishops who have been killed are the first I may be the next,” the priest concluded  Print Catholic Review Media communicates the Gospel and its impact on people’s

cross-border bridge on April 28 marking a major step forward for regional infrastructure and trade Stretching 620 meters over the Logone River the bridge links the city of Yagoua in Cameroon’s Far North region with Bongor in Chad The announcement came in a formal letter sent on April 21 to the regional governor by Cameroon’s Minister of Public Works “It is my honor to inform you that the Prime Ministers of the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Chad will inaugurate the bridge on the Logone River on April 28 in Yagoua,” the minister wrote Construction officially began on February 27 with a ceremony in Bongor led by the late Chadian President Idriss Déby Itno and Cameroon’s Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute The work was awarded to a consortium made up of Razel Cameroun This is the second bridge to link the two countries which connects Kousseri in Cameroon to the Chadian capital The Yagoua-Bongor project cost CFA74 billion and was funded by a loan from the African Development Bank and a €40 million grant (about CFA26 billion) from the European Union Cameroon and Chad will share the repayment burden But the project goes beyond the bridge itself it also includes 14.2 km of access roads — 7.4 km in Chad and 6.8 km in Cameroon — as well as key support infrastructure such as customs posts and road signage This brings the total investment to around CFA92 billion The bridge is expected to play a strategic role in strengthening trade flows between the two neighbors Customs data shows that about CFA350 billion worth of Chadian goods pass through Cameroon each year via the Douala–Ndjamena corridor “The geostrategic position of Cameroon places our country at the heart of CEMAC integration efforts,” said Cameroon’s Minister of Economy during the signing of a CFA216 billion financing deal with the African Development Bank for the rehabilitation of the Ngaoundéré–Garoua road — a key section of the corridor “Improving the Ngaoundéré–Garoua segment will undoubtedly boost cross-border trade by increasing traffic along routes like Garoua–Maroua–Kousseri–N'Djamena and Garoua–Magada–Yagoua–Bongor–N'Djamena,” the minister added both countries are looking to turn

Cameroon Joins Global Charter to Fight Illegal Fishing Cameroon's Far North region has been experiencing flooding since the start of the rainy season which began in the second half of July with an average rainfall frequency of one day out of four The intensification and recurrence of rains starting from August 10 has led to a progressive increase in rainfall levels between August 10 and August 19 Series of floods have been recorded since August 19 reaching critical levels in the Logone et Chari and Mayo Danay divisions between August 11 and 21 The peak of the floods was recorded on August 28 with the breaking of water retention dikes in Mayo Danay causing the town of Yagoua and other villages to be flooded and Zina in the Logone and Chari department OCHA published a bulletin on the flood situation in the Far North region on August 28 The initial information in this bulletin presents the damage recorded in the 02 affected divisions - Blangoua with nearly 75,000 people affected The rains continue with weather forecasts predicting more significant impacts in the divisions already mentioned above as well as in others that have also been experiencing heavy rainfall for several days where Ndoukoula district has reported over 400 people affected to date These floods have struck vulnerable communities already facing challenges due to climate change pachyderm invasions and a highly volatile security context since 2014 not to mention the structural poverty of the Region All these factors significantly affect the resilience and livelihoods of these communities Local branches of the Red Cross are continuing to monitor developments while OCHA ensures coordination among actors to seek new ways in the battle against the “tragedy of malnutrition in Africa” Caritas coordinator for the diocese of Yagoua in the northern part of Cameroon feels “challenged” by Pope Francis’s Encyclical Laudato si and by the Pope’s invitation to promote programs capable of demonstrating that the human person can still “positively intervene” in safeguarding our common home and “act generously Originally from Lissione (Italian province of Monza-Brianza) for eleven years this Pime missionary has been working in Comeroon in which 39% of the population lives below the poverty level: the 2019 Human Development Index ranks Cameroon 153rd out of 180 countries the territorial instability of this Anglophone region the encroachment of Nigerian Boko Haram Islamic extremists continue to threaten the population and Cameroon’s primarily agricultural economy It is in this context that Caritas operates where it has been developing hydraulic projects constructing and repairing water wells (100 new structures and 80 repaired each year); educational projects seven trade schools and two high schools serving a total of about 10 thousand students; healthcare projects with several clinics and a diocesan hospital in Tulum (about 60 km from Yagoua); projects providing assistance to displaced persons and refugees; projects contributing to the fight against malnutrition: over the years in collaboration with the World Food Program local Caritas agencies have managed a project assisting 12 thousand children in the area of Lake Chad distributing kits containing food supplements imported by UN agencies “In the extreme northern region of Cameroon” the Italian missionary explains to Vatican News “there is an acute to serious malnutrition rate higher than the national average” Six out of ten regions in the country record a stunt in the growth rate and a chronic malnutrition rate greater than 30% “that they are more or less 40 thousand underweight children who need to be treated It also needs to be said that these are reported cases It does not mean this is the actual situation in 2020 we also experienced severe flooding Some areas lost their crops due to the flooding but also because packs of pachyderms In this territory where being on the periphery seems to have provided a cushion regarding the effects of the Covid pandemic other illnesses such as malaria and cholera are when it is hot and dry and the wind blows from the desert” “Analyzing the situation and the rates of malnutrition in our areas explains the coordinator of Caritas of the diocese of Yagoua “that the only effective system for us at this moment is that of distributing food supplements “how long this can go on because food supplements cost money and it is complicated to get them here in these parts There are UN international agencies intervening to combat food insecurity and malnutrition will it still be possible to fight against malnutrition with the same imported products?” “Studying the experiences of this place and other nearby countries a little” The most workable seems to be utilizing a local yet underappreciated plant: the moringa tree.* It is a  that has all the properties needed to complement the nutritional value children receive without a huge expense” It resists tropical temperatures and drought it grows rapidly and produces leaves and seeds that are rich in vegetable protein promoting its cultivation and production on the local level there is no need that its leaves or seeds be treated It is enough to dry them and you can mix them in your food or infuse them like tea tested in other African countries and verified by a number of universities all a malnourished child needs to be treated is a teaspoonful of moringa powder every day for three months in order to regain strength and weight” The FAO notes that moringa leaves are rich in protein B and C and mineral salts and recommends it for expectant women “says that the basis of our commitment for and in our common home begins with the ‘recognition of the rights of others’ so as to follow an ‘ethical and spiritual itinerary’ that through various aspects of the current ecological crisis also knows how to treasure the ‘results of the best scientific research available today’ “invite us to value the results and experiences of scientific progress adapting it to various situations for the common good ‘Change is impossible without motivation and a process of education’ this means that sometimes we should not be satisfied with pre-fabricated solutions but that we should look for new solutions that are more in keeping with the values proposed by the encyclical” that Caritas Yagoua is moving forward with the moringa pilot project “We had already planned in June 2019 to experiment cultivating the plant ourselves We distributed the seeds among the farms and agricultural organizers We harvested the leaves and turned it into powder we began to distribute them at no charge to women who receive assistance in the centers where we work The mothers who have children with malnutrition problems can thus receive either seedlings or seeds to plant so they can grow the trees and thus have direct access to the product It is important that “this knowledge regarding how to treat certain pathologies they might know that taking good care of their children means ensuring a better life for everyone” * Translator’s note: the moringa tree is also known as a drumstick tree Thank you for reading our article.

In its 2020 report the Technical Commission for the Rehabilitation of Public and Para-public Sector Enterprises (CTR) suggested measures to help boost the production of the Society for the Expansion and Modernization of Rice Cultivation in Yagoua (Semry) the leading rice producer in Cameroon. According to the CTR Semry produced 3,304.36 tons of rice while its yearly potential is 120,000 tons.  The measures suggested by the CTR include evaluation of the costs of Semry’s public missions to figure out the balancing subsidy it must receive annually from the government There is also the improvement of field exploitation conditions to increase productivity and the creation of an equalization system for the development of national rice production and the organization of the rice market a special focus must be placed on the urgent rehabilitation works to be carried out in the Yagoua and Maga rice fields in the north of the country Those works will help repair the damage caused by floods on Semry’s infrastructure.  In that regard the dyke on the Logone River deserves special attention Semry processed 1,349.846 tons of paddy and 789.375 tons of milled rice this poor performance was due mainly to power cuts that significantly reduced the rice mills’ operating times.  the company’s value-added deteriorated sharply to XAF7.632 million It was not enough to cover personnel expenses estimated to be a little over XAF912.147 million representing a drop of 182% year-on-year.  "This result could be due to the structural deficit created by the price policy that sets the ground rent at 50% of the costs incurred in the development of the fields It does not allow full coverage of operating expenses estimated at XAF6,099,593,802 in 2020 against XAF7,618,367,548 in 2019," notes the Commission Hence the suggestion that the State must provide a balancing subsidy to compensate for the cost of public service missions carried out by Semry.  The company's financial situation is not attractive.  Its debt is essentially made up of tax debt (XAF3,382,692,309) supplier debt (XAF2,490,513,926) and miscellaneous debts (XAF524,697,016). These debts make the company a budgetary risk for its sole shareholder (the state of Cameroon) Cameroon’s president signed a decree appointing Fissou Kouma as the director general of Société d'expansion et de modernisation de la riziculture de Yagoua (Semry) in charge of the development of rice culture in the country The newly appointed director has been a council member located 10 kilometers from the Chadian town Bongor He replaces  Marc Samantana who is leaving behind a company facing numerous crisis the public company’s staff required the payment of not less than 5 months salary arrears and strikes were frequent Samantana was summoned by the Budget and Finance Disciplinary Council which investigated his management between 2008 and 2009 He was then declared guilty of five management errors and required to refund CFA31.5 million to Semry Let’s remind that the Semry was created on February 24 to ensure rice self-sufficiency in Cameroon this company used to employ 1,500 workers and provide jobs to 25,000 families of rice producers (more than 120,000 people living of rice production) the annual production is barely 100,000 tons out of a local demand estimated at about 300,000 tons Unveiling Tomorrow's Cameroon Through Today's News The collapse has caused significant disruption cutting off vital transportation routes and worsening the region's ongoing challenges caused by flooding The situation has affected thousands of residents in Yagoua as the bridge was crucial for connecting several neighborhoods and the damage to the main water pipe from Camwater has left parts of the city without access to clean drinking water including Mayo Danay Prefect Jean Lazare Ndongo Ndongo are coordinating efforts to manage the crisis boats have been mobilized to provide limited transportation but access to essential resources remains difficult Two potential solutions are being explored by the Ministry of Public Works following inspections: sourcing culvert materials from a nearby bridge project over the Logone River and using available steel beams from the regional public works office has worsened the area's already fragile infrastructure affecting economic activity and preventing students from attending school the community is calling for urgent and sustainable action from the government to address the crisis Opposition figures have criticized the government's response accusing the administration of neglecting the region which has been historically loyal to President Paul Biya Residents and officials alike are urging for immediate solutions to restore access and normalcy to the region (Business in Cameroon) -

The Cameroonian government should increase its subsidies to SEMRY (Society for the Expansion and Modernization of Rice in Yagoua) to help reduce the price of milled rice in markets This is one of the suggestions made by Fissou Kouma in an interview published this month in Minader infos “We would like to request improvement of the production tools We would also like to kindly notify the government about the necessity of increasing the budget allocated for the purchase of paddy rice and the elaboration of a mechanism aimed at helping Semry easily transport its end products to the remote consumption site of Mayo-Danay,” Fissou Kouma said “It is worth mentioning that the price of inputs is too high for most f the rice producers who can not afford it they strongly demand a state subsidy to balance their operating accounts This will lead to a drop in paddy rice production costs and ultimately a decrease in the prices of milled rice in markets,” he added Semry collaborates with 20,000 rice-growing households or about 160,000 people in Yagoua who derive most of their income from rice production the region derives over XAF6 billion from the rice sector Semry recently entered the processing and marketing sectors It sells 50 kg of its broken rice at XAF16,000 while the long grain rice is XAF20,000 (per 50 kg bag) and XAF18,000 for the twice-broken variety (Business in Cameroon) -
