Chad violence causes new political scare for Africa
Violence in Chad has escalated, leading to the death of opposition leader Yaya Dillo and others. African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat, originally from Chad, expressed regret over the incidents. The violence began when the army fired on activists from the Socialist Party Without Borders, who had attacked the National Agency for State Security following the arrest of party member Ahmed Torabi. The government has linked Torabi to an assassination attempt on the president of the Supreme Court. Chad, currently under a junta, is preparing for presidential elections, with junta leader Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno and the late Yaya Dillo expected as candidates. The Front for Change and Concord in Chad condemned Dillo's assassination and called for justice against the junta.

Samuel Eto'o's Overbearing Influence on Cameroon's National Football Team
Samuel Eto'o, a celebrated former footballer and current president of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot), is facing criticism for his excessive involvement in the national team's affairs. Eto'o, who has a history of influencing team decisions, has been accused of overstepping his role by giving tactical instructions and undermining the coaching staff, including head coach Rigobert Song. This behavior was evident during the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Critics, including journalist Jean Bruno Tagne and former Cameroon international Alexandre Song, argue that Eto'o's actions do not allow the team the freedom to operate independently. The situation escalated with the sidelining of goalkeeper Andre Onana after a disagreement with Eto'o, highlighting the tension within the team.

Cameroon's football crisis: More than just a game
The article by NDI EUGENE NDI discusses the decline of Cameroon's football performance, linking it to political issues and corruption within the country's football federation. Cameroon's early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) has raised questions about the selection process of the national team, with allegations of cronyism and corruption. The article highlights the role of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) president Samuel Eto'o and head coach Rigobert Song in the team selection, suggesting that personal relationships and loyalty to the regime may influence decisions. It also touches on Cameroon's history of corruption in sports, including match-fixing allegations against Eto'o and the monetization of player selection by coaches. The article suggests that these issues have undermined the country's football success and have led to a lack of meritocracy in the national team's composition.
