SDF Chairman John Fru Ndi passed away last night in Yaoundé after battling against illness. The 1st Vice-President of the SDF, Josua Osih, made the terrible announcement this morning in the following official statement:
An investor pool led among others by the NSIF and the SNH expressed in November 2022 its interest in acquiring the shares of the British Actis fund in Energy of Cameroon (ENEO). If the operation is concluded successfully, then this will consecrate the renationalization of electricity distribution in Cameroon. From a prudent point , this sounds like a relief for consumers who are wondering what the added value of the privatization of the defunct SONEL would have been. But in essence, this rather raises a lot of questions with regard to the political and economic realities of the country. Are the change in the ownership structure and / or nationalization the solution to the problems of energy production and distribution in Cameroon? Is the state a good partner and a good customer?
The United Nations, through the UNESCO agency, has decided to place the celebration of the 30th anniversary of "World Press Freedom Day" on May 3, 2023 under the theme, and I quote: "Shaping a future of rights: freedom of expression as the engine of all other human rights". The analysis of this theme shows us that, firstly, freedom of expression is the basis, better still, "the mother" of all human rights, and secondly, that all human rights are constantly violated all over the world every third, second or minute that passes.
Many journalists and other media professionals are threatened, harassed, abducted, tortured, subjected to pressure of all kinds, and even more, murdered around the world while they were simply doing their job. Many are also arrested and even languish in prisons, some without trial.

The political fight in black Africa : when tribalism becomes the preferred weapon of politicians to the detriment of the fight to improve the living conditions of their populations.
In black Africa, politicians since independence have used tribalism to prosper. This behavior is explained by the fact that tribalism is a vector of simplistic message and easily assimilated by a population for the extreme majority very uneducated.
This situation has the consequence of creating within the political class not a competition to have a better program for the development of our societies, but a race for the control of resources, positions of income and folding seats for the happiness of his community.
On the 25th of February 2023, an ordinary meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) was held at our Centre regional headquarters in Yaoundé, chaired by our National Chaiman John FRU NDI.
Effectively present were 49 statutory members out of 87 attesting to a largely attained quorum and the resolutions of the said meeting have been signed and distributed for the attention of all militants.
I exhort all party members to read and ensure the strict application of these resolutions particularly regarding the ongoing reorganisatiom exercise and the announced pending ordinary convention.
