    Human Trafficking Network Disguised as Marketing Scheme: 13 Suspects Arrested by National Gendarmerie

    Thirteen suspects linked to a human trafficking and fraudulent recruitment network were presented to the press on June 22, 2026, at the National Gendarmerie headquarters in Yaoundé.

    The suspects include six coordinators and seven representatives accused of operating under the cover of network marketing schemes.

    According to the Deputy Director of Central Coordination at the National Gendarmerie, Colonel Atangana Fiacre Kisito, investigations were launched at the beginning of 2026 following numerous complaints from Cameroonians and citizens of neighboring countries, particularly Nigeria.

    The investigations uncovered a structured network operating under names such as QNET, IGNITE, UNIMEC and other local variants. The group allegedly targeted students, unemployed youths, recent graduates facing financial difficulties and individuals seeking opportunities abroad.

    Authorities say victims were lured with promises of employment, training and better prospects overseas before being required to pay substantial registration fees. Many were housed in communal residences and subjected to psychological pressure aimed at recruiting additional members.

    Security services have identified hundreds of victims, with more than 6,000 individuals reportedly registered across several cities, including Yaoundé, Douala, Bafoussam, Ebolowa, Bertoua, Maroua, Garoua and Ngaoundéré.

    Investigations revealed that the network operated through a hierarchical structure involving leaders, recruiters and victims. Some victims were reportedly transferred through Garoua to Nigeria, while foreign nationals were also integrated into local cells.

    While thirteen suspects are now in custody and expected to face justice, two alleged leaders believed to be in the Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic remain on the run and are actively being sought after.

    The National Gendarmerie has urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious recruitment offers, promises of overseas employment or pressure to join such schemes. Authorities say efforts are continuing to dismantle the network, identify its financial channels and support victims through reintegration measures.

  • Cameroon Launches « Moxidectin » to Fight River Blindness

    Cameroon Launches « Moxidectin » to Fight River Blindness

    A new treatment has been introduced in Cameroon to strengthen the fight against onchocerciasis, commonly known as river blindness, a parasitic disease transmitted by blackflies.

    The Higher Institute for Scientific and Medical Research (ISM) launched the EMINENCE Project, a European Union-funded initiative aimed at eliminating the disease through the deployment of Moxidectin in persistent hotspots across the country.

    The project was officially launched on June 9, 2026, in Yaoundé and will deploy Moxidectin in the Centre Region, particularly in the Bafia and Ntui health districts where onchocerciasis remains a public health concern.

    Beyond treatment, the initiative seeks to encourage communities in affected areas to actively participate in mass drug administration campaigns and consistently take medication to help interrupt disease transmission.

    Speaking during the launch ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of ISM, Professor Joseph Kamgno, described Moxidectin as a more effective and longer-acting treatment than Ivermectin, the drug currently used in onchocerciasis control programmes.

    According to him, Moxidectin significantly reduces the parasites responsible for the disease and has the potential to accelerate elimination efforts.

    He, however, stressed the importance of continuing the use of Ivermectin as access to the new treatment gradually expands.

    Representing the Ministry of Public Health, Dr Théophile Mpaba Minkai said the introduction of Moxidectin marks a major step forward in the country’s efforts to eliminate river blindness.

    He revealed that nearly 39,000 community distributors are currently involved in the nationwide distribution of treatment, helping to ensure that affected populations have access to life-saving medication.
