Eto’o’s omnipresence in running of ‘Lions’ attracts huge criticism In December 2021, one of Africa’s greatest footballers, Samuel Eto’o Fils, made headlines across the world. He had been elected president of Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot). A top footballer with a glittering career which also included two Africa Cup of Nations titles with Cameroon and Champions League, Spanish and Italian league titles with Barcelona and Inter Milan had promised to give Cameroon football its grandeur.
Cameroon football mimics national politics Cameroon is (or was) Africa’s football powerhouse. They reached the 1990 World Cup quarterfinals in Italy, becoming the first on the continent to do so. But three decades later, something is cracking within this strong tradition of football success. Last week, Cameroon was bundled out of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), having meekly qualified to the round of 16 at the tournament going on in Cote d’Ivoire. Now tongues are wagging in Cameroon with some soccer enthusiasts linking the unpleasant performance of the five-time African champions to the country’s very political scale.
Afcon: Equatorial Guinea get special bonus after thrashing Ivory Coast Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbatsogo has declared Tuesday a public holiday to celebrate the 4-0 victory of the national team against star-studded Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) 2023 host Cote d’Ivoire on Monday.

Now this basin has become a source of refugees; people fleeing violence, erratic climate or just looking for a better place to live. However, most of these teeming masses of forced migrants usually flee into each other's backyards. Consider Cameroon, which has been facing an insurgency in the English-speaking regions of the Northwest since 2017.
Africa’s forgotten war: How the world moved on from Cameroon killings In Cameroon, it is either a stable peaceful country or one where deaths are covered up. It depends on who you ask. But survivors have had their horrid tales for the last seven years, all in which the conflict in the country’s Anglophone region has, sort of, been forgotten by the world. Last week, opposition politician Evaristus Njong, MP for Boyo, North West region, shocked parliament when he claimed 48 people had been killed in one incident in November alone.
