Facing the
press recently in the conference hall of his ministry, the Minister of
Communication IssaTchiromaBakary clarified public opinion on some burning
issues related to the crises in neighbouringNigeria and Central African
Republic. He was reacting to a hostile media campaign launched against Cameroon
by some foreign press houses claiming that Cameroon is helping rebel groups to
destabilize her neighbours. The Minister described the allegations as
“irresponsible and ungrounded.” IssaTchiroma said the conflicts taking place in
neighboring countries is rather putting a great burden on the government which
has to resist terrorist infiltrating our borders and also handling the
thousands that come into border villages and towns as refugees.

has debunked attacks on Cameroon by Foreign Press
The minister used the press
conference to express Cameroon’s willingness to cooperate with border countries
and international organizations to track down trans-border criminals and the
illegal carrying of arms. During the conference, IssaTchiroma called on
Cameroonians to continue to be peaceful for it is this altitude of theirs that
gave them the opportunity to host the first ever Summit of Head of States and
Government on Maritime Security and Safety in the Gulf of Guinea on June 24 and
25, 2013. As such, Cameroon is ready to cooperate with any border country to
fight against terrorism and cross-border criminality as a sign of the country’s
readiness to promote peace in the Central African Sub-region.
He applauded the defense forces
present at the borders for their efforts towards protecting and maintaining the
peace and stability at their various areas of command. He assured Cameroonians
that they were safe especially as the army is ever on duty to protect them.
