To drag the German Ambassador to cameroon for

Ait la happante, when the Minister of Health Mr.
Urbaine Olanguena Awono and the German Ambassador were
inaugurating the renovation works, at the Mamfe
general hospital. When a group of students in their
uniform that were invited, to spies the occasion and

The students and activist were arrested by
the commissioner of police Mamfe and are said to be
under detention at the Gendarmerie brigade Mamfe
undergoing torture and intimidation.
All the arrested students are in their
examination classes preparing for neither the «O »
level or the « A » level examination coming up in may.
On Friday last week, about 300 three
hundred students, members of the Southern Cameroon
Youths League SCYL and those of the Manyu youths
Association and sympathisers who left from the court
to withness the case of the SCNC members arrested last
year converge after the court session at the Southern
Cameroon independent monument in Mamfe, surprising to
most of them, that the southern Cameroon independent
monument was amongst their midst in Mamfe, without
their knowledge. They gathered round the monuments,
taking snap shots and shouting slogans of the SCNC and
SCYL

sensitisation, education, and concioustisation
campaign that has been going on in the field by the
