CCMN CENTRE HOLDS MAIDEN ONLINE MEETING, GETS TRAINING ON HUMANITARIAN REPORTING.

Members of the Cameroon Community Media Network, CCMN Centre have held their first online activity ahead of the World Press Freedom Day 2020. During this meeting, the members highlighted that the Cameroonian press is yet to enjoy freedom thus restricting them from effectively carrying out their duties. While celebrating the World Press Freedom day of May 3rd 2020, they said for Cameroonian journalists to successfully carry out their duties without being arrested or detained, they should always follow the ethics and deontology of the profession. It was equally highlighted that Peace Journalism should be the watchword.

Also during the meeting, the journalists were schooled on humanitarian reporting.

The training that was facilitated by the coordinator for CCMN Centre Moma Sandrine, laid emphasis on reporting stories in a way that gives a suffering community hope of a better tomorrow while equally drawing the attention of different stakeholders that can offer assistance to such communities. Drawing an example from the Corona Virus pandemic, the journalists were called upon to start their reports with the recovered cases and not the number of deaths. The journalists were equally told to hold on to the humanitarian principles of "humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence" whenever they intend to do a humanitarian report. Other principles of humanitarian reporting were given to the journslists to aid them in their reporting.

At the end of the meeting which lasted more than two hours, the participants were reminded of their roles as community journalists; those to amplify the voices of the masses with emphasis on the slogan for the CCMN 10% Media and 90% community.

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 Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore.

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.
