Detentions, Secret Deals & Fear: Is Cameroon Sliding Into Authoritarianism?

This week in Cameroon, several stories made headlines. From the legal battle between ICT University and the University of Buea… to the birth certificate crisis leaving children without identity… to new international partnerships and political tensions at home and abroad. But one theme stood out for Mimi Mefo Newuh: Power — and how it is being used. In this editorial, she connects the dots between: ▪ The death of Anicet Ekane in detention and the unanswered questions surrounding it ▪ The arrest of journalists investigating secret U.S. deportations to Cameroon ▪ The controversial deportation agreement involving non-Cameroonian nationals ▪ The Ngarbuh massacre verdict and concerns about incomplete justice ▪ Growing financial pressure in the energy sector and what it says about governance The central question: What happens when a government appears strong against critics, but struggles to deliver justice, transparency, and basic services? This is not about political sides. It is about accountability, trust, and the direction of a nation. Watch the full breakdown, reflect, and join the conversation. #MMINews #Cameroon #AnicetEkane #Ngarbuh #PressFreedom #Governance #Leadership #AfricaNews
