CCMN OFFERS HAND SANITIZERS TO MEMBERS

By Stephen Ojang in Bamenda
Members of the Cameroon Community Media Network CCMN, have received hand sanitizers, face masks and liquid soaps from the PCC peace office and Bread for the world, as efforts to fight COVID19.

The present COVID19 outbreak has become the biggest story in the world now, but it is still difficult to determine with exactitude the future and consequences of the infection.

With these uncertainties, journalists are faced with challenges like risks of being infected in the line of duty. This is the obvious reason why the Network has decided to protect its members, by handing them hand sanitizers.
During the distribution exercise, the National Coordinator of the Cameroon Community Media Network CCMN, Mme Rose Obah, called on all to use these items judiciously, and more importantly, stay safe so as to protect our families.

"Charity begins at home therefore, we should teach by example. We need to wash our hands regularly using hand sanitizers. More often than not, we think about others and forget ourselves. This is time for us to thank our partners, the PCC peace office and Bread for the world, for putting hands together for our different media houses to have these items, so as to enable our media houses protect themselves and their workers because we all know what COVID19 has caused the whole world and journalists are not indifferent to this. This is our own little way to say we also want to support our members who are going out there to report and talk to community members because as community media houses, we can't be talking to the Governor and so on and so forth. We need to be talking to those who have been affected by the COVID19." 

To these words, the National Coordinator of the Cameroon Community Media Network added; "Once we don't protect ourselves, our families back at home are not safe."

The call of Mme Rose Obah, to all CCMN members was safety and safely again. "As we take these items To our various media houses, let's ensure we use them judiciously."

OJ SLIM MEDIA spoke to some of the beneficiary media houses.

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

  Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room.   Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in YaoundĂ©. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore. To most ordinary Cameroonians, his remarks after the close to two hours high-level talks with long-serving President Paul Biya, were great. To others, (especially those in government), they were a threat to what government had given a pat on its back for a fast-track of the decentralization process with a Special Status for the North Wes...

WUM COUNCIL: SDO VISITS HOLIDAY WORKERS.

For the past two months, the Wum Municipality has been a bee hive as many youths on holidays have been engaged by the Wum Council, to dig, clean and decorate the municipality with ornamental trees and flowers, this to the satisfaction of the population who always come out in their numbers to encourage these children.  The recruitment of these children, though a corporate social responsibility of the Wum Council, has been made possible thanks to the workaholic Mayor and his team. In one of such busy day of work, the Senior Divisional Officer of Menchum Division, Mr. Abdoullahi Aliou, paid a surprised visit to the children and encouraged them in their endeavour. You have been the lucky few to have been chosen to work and earn some money to help your parents send you back to school. Make sure that dream comes true. Do not in anyway disappoint the Council and the entire population who trusted you to have this job. Be good citizens and true patriots. Thank you for assisting the council ...
