The Association of Nigerien Students in Russia (AENR) has confirmed the death of Adamou Abdoulaye Ismaël, who had been missing for several months.

Célestin Tawamba paints bleak picture of Cameroon’s economy in 2025

On June 23, 2026, Célestin Tawamba, president of the Groupement des Entreprises du Cameroun (GECAM), delivered a sobering assessment of the country's economic trajectory. Cameroon's gross domestic product grew by only 3.1% in 2025, down from 3.5% in 2024. Tawamba called this pace incompatible with the nation's ambition to achieve emerging status by 2035. In contrast, sub-Saharan Africa is projected to grow at 4.5%, the WAEMU zone at 6.4%, and the CEMAC region—where Cameroon is the largest economy—at a meager 2.6%. The underperformance is largely due to the collapse of the oil sector. Hydrocarbons contracted by 6.9% in 2025 after a 9.7% drop the year before, confirming that petroleum is no longer the primary growth driver. 286,000 tonnes Other sectors provide little reassurance.
