The Mayor of Yaoundé VII, who is also the President of the United Council and Cities of Cameroon, Augustin Tamba has denounced what he calls political manipulation behind the seizure of his property.

Speaking at a press conference on September 3 in Yaoundé, he criticized the Debt Recovery Corporation (SRC) for putting some of his properties up for auction, claiming it was a deliberate attempt to damage his reputation.

Mayor Tamba admitted that he and his partners had been involved in financial dealings with the SRC and the defunct Société Camerounaise de Banque.

“For the past few days, a press release from SRC S.A announcing a public auction of personal effects and movable property belonging to Augustin Tamba has been widely circulated on social media by certain whistleblowers,” he said.

Mayor Tamba explained that he and the targeted groups owed millions of FCFA to the two institutions due to two loan agreements signed over 35 and 17 years ago, respectively. He said the first loan was for FCFA 100 million, while the second was a FCFA 150 million loan. Despite applying for FCFA 600 million, Tamba and his partners received the smaller amount to finance a one billion business venture.

Regarding the 100 million FCFA loan, Tamba said he had repaid the entire amount, even though his partners were unable to service their portion of the debt. Tamba further explained that he held a 25% stake in the business, while another shareholder had a 30% stake and a land title as collateral.

“I would like to remind everyone that the entire sum has been paid to date,” he said. “I no longer owe this company. I assume my past as a businessman and understand the dynamics of working with banks. It’s not a one-stop shop.”

Concerning the FCFA 150 million debt, Tamba said he recently made a payment of FCFA 25 million to the bank and requested an extension until the end of December 2024. However, the bank refused his request, insisting on a September 20 deadline. Tamba questioned why his properties were put up for auction before the deadline and why other members of the team who borrowed the money were not being pursued.

Mayor Tamba said he and the Société Camerounaise de Banque had entered into a loan agreement for 600 million FCFA approximately 17 years ago. The funds were intended to finance a business operation of about one billion FCFA.

“To date, we have not yet reached the agreed date for the next payment, which is September 20, 2024,” he said. “Unfortunately, I have received the constraints and, faced with these constraints, I have reacted and told them that I am going to pay them.”

Tamba expressed shock that the financial institution was attempting to seize his properties despite the existence of collateral. He also criticized the bank for not applying the same pressure to other partners in the deal.

Mayor Tamba accused individuals of using social media to tarnish his image. “There are things that I am hearing in the political circles as a result of this mess which is not pleasing to me,” he said.

“This is not normal. We want to get to the bottom of it. I have a mandate given to me by a people and cannot accept my image to be dragged in the mud. I am taking legal action.”

Between August 29 and 31, the debt recovery body issued a notice stating that Tamba’s property, including furniture, household appliances, decorations, and vehicles, and others would be auctioned to recover the money he owed. The news has been trending on social media.

African Leaders Make A $1.3 Trillion Case To Avert Climate Dangers

By Etienne Mainimo Mengnjo

As the curtain comes down on the 10th Special Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, another chapter begins. Just around the corner is the COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November where the consolidated views from AMCEN will be presented with ambitious expectations, represented by the African Group of Negotiators (AGN).

African leaders at the Presidential Day Program at the African Climate summit

At the heart of the Abidjan meeting is a push for more climate finance flows to Africa through sustainable channels that won’t load African economies with more debts. The end goal is to strengthen the continent’s adaptation and mitigation defence systems against climate change and allow the countries to achieve a just transition. This perspective mirrors that of Ministers from the 45 least developed countries (LDCs) who gathered in Lilongwe, Malawi, last week.

“Finance COP”

COP29 is aptly referred to as the “Finance COP.” Nothing short of ambitious financial outcomes is expected.

African Ministers under AMCEN declared that a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance should be adopted, one that would require rich nations to mobilise a quantum of no less than $1.3 trillion per year for developing nations. NCQG is a new financial target from the year 2025 onwards that developed countries, who are the biggest contributors to climate change, must avail to developing countries, replacing the previous commitment of $100 billion per year that they pledged in 2009 but failed to deliver on time.

Meanwhile, the LDCs, under the Lilongwe Declaration on Climate Change 2024, want the new climate finance goal to be science-based and reflective of the developing countries’ actual climate needs through increased public finance, predominantly delivered as grants. The LDC Ministers put the finance needed by their countries to implement their current climate goals to be at least $1 trillion. Also, they hold that only concessional finance should be included as climate finance and must be easily accessible.

Grants and concessional finance are crucial, in particular for adaptation and loss and damage, given that it is the rich nations that have historically caused the unsustainable build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, stoking global warming to dangerous levels.

It is COP29’s role to deliver a financing deal geared towards achieving the goals set in previous COPs—Glasgow, Sharm el-Sheikh and Dubai, AMCEN Ministers note.It should also be responsive to the evolving needs of the respective countries’ climate action plans, including their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), while reflecting the global stocktake outcomes and latest scientific and technological advancements.

To avoid missteps associated with previous pledges, the AMCEN and the LDC Ministers are calling for the new finance goal to contain predictable, time-bound and reliable financial commitments from each of the developed countries.

Both groups have made it clear that the new finance goal must be delivered by developed countries jointly, in a fair and equitable manner. They have continually signalled the importance of burden-sharing arrangements among these countries to increase scale of finance and ascertain delivery of commitments.

Global finance reforms

Developing countries face a crippling debt crisis worsened by increasing climate impacts. The Ministers from both groups are asking the international financial institutions (IFIs) and multilateral development banks (MDBs) to reform their funding approach towards less developed nations. They should be more responsive to Africa’s needs, review their finance terms, and be more open to debt restructuring and relief on need basis, in what would unlock climate and development finance without pushing these countries deeper into unsustainable debt.

The Ministers have reiterated that climate finance should be given in form grants and not loans which have worsened the debt situation.

Activate loss and damage fund

AMCEN and LDC Ministers want the Loss and Damage Fund to be urgently operationalised and capitalised, as well as the Santiago Network meant to connect vulnerable countries with global providers of technical assistance, knowledge and resources needed to address climate risks. The LDC ministers, in particular, want the fund to be set up with modalities that enable rapid, simple and direct budget support to governments through national treasuries and ministries of finance, as well as to enable direct access for national and subnational entities. The African Ministers have called for the reconsideration of the decision to host the Santiago Network in Geneva rather than Nairobi. The LDC Ministers are pushing for the inclusion of a sub-goal on loss and damage in the NCQG.

Adaptation efforts

Similarly, the Ministers are asking for Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) to be fully operationalised and ensure adequate adaptation response to protect people, livelihoods and ecosystems from natural disasters, with a special focus on finance, capacity building and technology transfer. The amount of adaptation finance needed is about $360 billion annually, compared to about $18 billion that was available in 2019.

COP29, according to AMCEN leaders, should send the right policy signals on operationalising common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (CBDR&RC), which acknowledges the different abilities and share of responsibilities of each country in addressing climate change. Additionally, the just transition framework should reflect the priorities of Africa, in particular green industrialisation, sustainable use and value addition of natural resources, as well as addressing energy poverty and clean cooking needs.

Reactions

Evans Njewa, Chair of the Least Developed Countries Group

“We want COP29 to deliver a bold commitment to address climate change. This is not just about promises; it’s about providing the resources needed to protect the lives and livelihoods of millions on the frontlines of the climate crisis. The LDCs are calling for an ambitious New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance that reflects the actual financial needs of developing countries, ensuring they can implement their NDCs, adapt to climate impacts, and address loss and damage.”

Amos Wemanya, Greenpeace Africa Responsive Lead

“COP29 presents African governments and African Group of Negotiators (AGN) on climate change an opportunity to present a strong case for debt free, public and adequate climate finance to meet the needs of communities on the front line of the crisis.

This is not time for African governments to gamble with carbon offsets and private finance as climate finance. We have been here before and all these have proved to be dangerous distractions to finding real solutions to the climate challenges on our continent.

Rich countries should make polluters, especially the fossil industry pay for the losses and damages caused to our communities. Africa needs climate finance to invest in renewable energy, ecosystem protection, land restoration and food sovereignty.

At COP29, wealthy countries must provide leadership in providing the scale of climate finance required to tackle the climate crisis and restore trust in the multilateral system.”

Iskander Erzini Vernoit, Director, Imal Initiative for Climate and Development

“The African Ministerial reconfirms the position of the African Negotiators, to call for USD 1.3 trillion per year in the new goal for climate finance, which aligns with the best available needs assessment literature. Moreover, crucially, it stipulates that this should be mainly in the form of grants and concessional finance, and points to a need for the NCQG to specify a clear share for public grant finance. The onus is now clearly on developed countries to come to Baku ready to provide the finance necessary to help the world to fulfil the Paris Agreement, or their commitment to the Paris Agreement will be in doubt.

African countries, as AMCEN notes, are already spending significant percentages of their GDP per year on climate change, despite not having caused this crisis, and so it is only right that the developed countries who are responsible for this crisis do the same.”

Yared Abera Deme, Climate Diplomacy Associate at World Resources Institute, Africa

“Both the Africa Group and the Least Developed Countries (LDC) group have made a decisive call on their declarations for a climate finance goal of no less than USD 1 trillion annually. This proposal reflects the urgent and evolving needs of our countries to adapt to climate impacts, address loss and damage, and transition to low-carbon economies. Ensuring that this finance is delivered primarily through grants and concessional finance is essential to avoiding further debt burdens on African/vulnerable countries. If COP29 delivers on this ambition, it will not only provide critical support for the most affected regions but also reaffirm the strength and relevance of multilateralism in addressing global challenges. Reaching a consensus on this figure would send a powerful signal that the international community remains committed to cooperation, equity, and shared responsibility in the fight against climate change.”

Julius Mbatia, Climate Finance Expert

“The global financial architecture has not benefited developing countries as its functioning and arrangements fall short of developing countries’ needs and realities. AMCEN’s resolve to pursue a system that is more responsive to Africa’s and developing countries’ needs in negotiations relating to the reform of the financial architecture is laudable.

Whilst Africa remains a climate hotspot experiencing ruinous climate impacts, it holds immense natural and human capital that signify economic transformation potential if the right finance and economic tools are made available. However, the current system barely works for the continent. The determination of the new climate finance goal in COP29 must settle Africa’s struggle with debt, high cost of capital, expensive technologies, and inadequate finance to address climate change.

Climate finance should be new and additional as the climate crisis imposes an additional burden to already constrained and struggling African countries.”

Joab Okanda, Climate and Energy policy expert

“Grants based adaptation finance provided at scale that reflects the greater needs assessment, including by UNEP, and increasing costs of adaptation and loss damage is the lifeline for Africa and the lens through which African countries can build trust with their developed countries counterparts. As AMCEN concludes and we head to Baku in November, we must not fail communities on the frontline of the climate crisis by repeating the deliberate mistakes of the $100billion goal by 2020 which was not only met but also failed to meet the 50:50 balance between adaptation and mitigation. Baku must ensure that finance for adaptation is scaled to at least $360 billion annually in grants equivalent. It is the only way that countries in Africa can adapt to changing climate and build resilient communities.”

2025 AFCON Qualifiers: Aboubakar Nets Winner To Secure Cameroon Victory Over Namibia

By Etienne Mainimo Mengnjo

Vincent Aboubakar, the Indomitable Lions’ captain, secured a narrow victory for Cameroon over Namibia, scoring the sole goal of the match. The game was played at the Roumdé Adjia stadium in Garoua, North Region of Cameroon on September 7.

Aboubakar capitalized on a shot by Bryan Mbeumo, which was parried by Namibian goalkeeper Maova, to give Cameroon the lead at the 65^th minutes. He had a chance to double the advantage in the 82nd minute but was denied by Maova in a one-on-one situation. Mbeumo’s counter-attack set up Aboubakar for the goal.

Cameroon faced challenges in the first half, struggling to break the deadlock. Coach Collin Benjamin’s 4-3-3 formation for Namibia presented problems for Marc Brys’ Cameroon team. The Namibians, led by the active Shalulile, put pressure on the Ngadeu-Wooh defensive pair.

With this victory, Cameroon claimed the top spot in Group J with three points. Cameroon will face Zimbabwe and Kenya in upcoming matches. The 2025 AFCON will take place in Morocco.

Prior to the match, Cameroon had an undefeated home record in their last four competitive games, while Namibia had a five-match winning streak on the road. However, Cameroon had conceded a goal in each of their last eight matches.

In their two previous encounters since 2022, Cameroon had a 0-1-1 record against Namibia, with a 1-1 draw in Yaoundé in March 2023 and a 1-2 loss in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers. While Cameroon has a stronger overall record in Africa Cup of Nations qualification, Namibia has performed better in their recent five match

2025 AFCON Qualifiers: During The Next Game, There Will Be One Staff – Marc Brys

By Etienne Mainimo Mengnjo

The coach of the Indomitable Lions, Belgian-born Marc Brys, has stated that the team will have only one technical staff during their next match.

***Marc Brys speaking during the pre-match press conference***

Brys made this announcement during a pre-match press conference on September 6 in Garoua, North Region of Cameroon. The coach was accompanied by goalkeeper André Onana.

“The staff problem was resolved a few hours ago,” Brys said. “At the next meeting, there will be one staff.” The issue of multiple technical staffs has been a topic of discussion within the team since Brys was appointed as Cameroon’s coach.

Regarding their opponent, Brys said, “Namibia is a team with a very specific quality. Namibia plays with plenty of depth, speed, and technique with potential in goals. But if we have the ball, we won’t have any problems, and that’s our goal: to have the ball with lots of movement.”

On his part, Onana said, “Hierarchically, our leader is the coach. As players, we follow Marc Brys. We don’t take sides. The most important thing for us is to play for Cameroon.”

Onana further added, “There’s a lot of talk. I’m used to that. There’s a lot of manipulation and misinformation. Tomorrow, we’ll prove that we are professionals. The most important thing is the team.”

Concerning the controversy surrounding the choice of the stadium, Onana said, “Players don’t choose where to play. We only execute, and if we’re told to go and play in Bamenda, we will go.”

Cameroon will face Namibia on September 7 in the opening qualifying match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to be held in Morocco. They will later face Zimbabwe in the second day of play.

PM Wades Into MINSEP/FECAFOOT Conflict, Garoua To Host AFCON Match

By Etienne Mainimo Mengnjo

Wednesday, September 7th, marked a crucial turning point in the ongoing conflict between the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education (MINSEP) and the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) as the Prime Minister stepped in to mediate the situation.

***Chief Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute with a cross section of players***

Just as the Prime Minister, Chief Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute, was meeting with players and the Sports Minister, the U-20 Lionesses were preparing to depart for Garoua.

According to sources, FECAFOOT had already replaced the Indomitable Lions squad due to the absence of several called-up players. The players were supposed to assemble in Douala before heading to Garoua, but they disregarded the FECAFOOT venue and instead went to Yaoundé.

Although details of the meeting at the Star building with the players remain confidential, sources indicate that Prime Minister Dion Ngute urged the players to be prepared to face Namibia in any stadium chosen by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

While the entire team selected for the AFCON qualifiers attended the match, reports suggest that the meeting was part of a series of discussions the Prime Minister has been holding since Tuesday, September 3rd, to address the ongoing venue dispute.

***PM salauting Andre Onana, Cameroon’s Keeper***

The source also mentioned that the one-hour meeting aimed to assess the team’s readiness, ensure they had everything they needed, and determine if the ongoing saga had affected their morale.

Speaking on CRTV’s 7:30 PM newscast on September 4, Coach Marc Brys stated that the team is focused on the game and preparing well. He stressed the positive mentality of the players and technical team, adding that they were ready to play anywhere, regardless of the situation or accommodation.

“We are not afraid; we don’t need anything there. We will play wherever we have to play and we will try to win the games. There is Garoua and Yaoundé, but we are not concerned with that. We are focused on the positive things and trying to get the three points,” Marc Brys said.

He added, “We have to be focused to play a good game, but it’s not natural that we win all these games. We have to prepare. We have to stay very close together, help each other, and trust and give all our confidence to this group of players.”

It’s worth noting that FECAFOOT, , had issued an ultimatum demanding that the players report to their assembly ground on September 4th or face consequences. Cameroon will face Namibia on Saturday and Zimbabwe later in the qualifiers for the 2025 AFCON.
