Army and Minsep fight over "Camp de l’Unité"

While an army general is committed to giving back the poorly maintained, overexploited and abandoned building, its luster of yesteryear, the Ministry of Sports and physical education (Minsep), through its Regional Centre for delegation, does not intend to make concessions.

It's a cold war maintained for more than a year already. "Belligerent" are called: a General of the Army (whose identity is kept secret for obvious reasons), and the regional delegation of the Sports Centre.

The first, in order to allow combat sports lovers to practice their respective disciplines in a professional setting, had proposed to the second, to give a new face to the unity camp, by engaging at its own expense, the work of redevelopment of this great sporting infrastructure built in the era of colonization.

He thought well since the work would make it possible for the unity in Camp Yaoundé which had become one of the least recommended capital places policy of Cameroon, to present a face more shiny than it displays these days.

But "the Sports Minister has opposed an end to not receive, support for the rehabilitation of this building located opposite the Marie Gocker parish, precisely at Camair, as were listed prominently in the sports infrastructure development policy committed for more than eight years", explains the benefactor who gave a new face to the front North of Camp de l’unité.

The army General, motivated by the fact that the land title of the building is on behalf of the Cameroonian army, has a pinch in the heart to the idea of the spectacle which offers the old camp to users of the small Camair journey - carrefour Elig Essono.

What remains of the roof is only an old rusted, attachment from all sides and a floating plate with the wind, that barely support which serves as a frame.

In short, the wounds of this colonial building are more than ever gaping.
