A rare event occurred in Cameroon on the night of June 15 to 16 at the Office of the President of the Republic. The office of the Director of the Civil Cabinet was burglarized and the subject of many rumors. According to a source close to the palace, "(...) nothing important was taken" apart from some material damage and missing documents. Meanwhile, in the north of the country, armed exactions continue apace. Seven dead and wounded were recorded following a terrorist attack in Tourou (Far North) by armed men suspected of being members of Boko Haram. In addition to these attacks, kidnappings and killings are taking place mainly in the border area with Nigeria.

Faced with this ongoing situation, the journalist and editor of "Week-Infos" called on the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Norway to address the "acts of mass murder" perpetrated in the English-speaking regions. According to him, these heinous acts are the work of a compatriot resident in Norway and founder of the Amazonian Armed Movement: "These acts of cruelty are ordered, encouraged and financed by a Cameroonian national resident in your country." At the same time, in January a committed priest launched a political movement called "Servir" to call on Christians to mobilize and prepare for the next elections in 2025. He denounced the poor governance that has plagued the country for several years: "(...) we can see that Cameroon is plunged into bad governance, incivism and social injustice. And it's a question of appealing to Christians by creating this platform to mobilize them and make them face up to their responsibilities, especially with regard to the 2025 deadlines...".

At over 90 years of age and after more than 40 years in power, Paul Biya is still casting doubt on his participation in the next presidential election in 2025. On the other hand, the opposition is struggling to overcome the demons of division that led to its failure in 2018. As in the past, the question remains: will it succeed this time in defeating the political mohican Biya?
