Cameroon: 89 AFCON buses missing two months after 2021 tournament

The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations took place in Cameroon from January 9 to February 6, 2022 but unverified reports suggest 89 buses used by the various teams and officials during the competition cannot be traced.

From unfinished sports complexes to non-payment of construction site employees, there are also suspicions of hijacking of the buses that transported the footballers.

In fact, two months after the official closing ceremony of the 33rd edition of the African Cup of Nations football contested in Cameroon, the vehicles acquired for the transport of the various delegations that took part in this competition remain untraceable. Of the 90 buses put into service on the occasion of this continental event, only that of the Indomitable Lions remains identifiable.

Should we paste this news to question “Presidential silences”? The Independent returns to the work of the spirited journalist, François Marc Modzom, theorizing on presidential silences. Works that have fueled all the more mockery and jeers that this object of study, beyond political sensitivities and quarrels in shops and chapels, regains all its relevance.
