DECLARATION - CLOSING OF SCHENGEN BORDERS - June, 29th 2020 - by Honorable Joshua Osih
The member countries of the Schengen area have just decided that nationals of certain countries are prohibited from entering their territory. They also mentioned that every 15 days, this list could be updated. It is their absolute right to isolate themselves or to discriminate against nationals of countries which may be allowed to travel to their countries on the grounds that they believe they risk bringing a new wave of COVID19 contamination.
Looking at this list, Cameroon, is one of these countries. This clearly means that no compatriot, even with a visa, can, until further notice, enter one of the countries of the Schengen area.
By virtue of the sacrosanct principle of reciprocity, no national of the Schengen countries should also be allowed to enter Cameroon during this prohibition period, regardless of their diplomatic or health status.


Cameroon's renowned opposition leader, Ni John Fru Ndi speaks on political instability, armed conflict in English-speaking regions, what change the party can do in the current dispensation.
