Freedom:US based organization rates Cameroon negatively

Freedom House, a Washington-based organization, made a report that shows that Cameroon does not promote individual freedom.

The Minister of Communication Issa Tchiroma will certainly summon journalists in the coming days to protest. Freedom House, a Washington-based association has indeed released a report which is not in favor of Cameroon and its rulers. The study of this organization shows that the country of Paul Biya does not promote expression of public freedoms.

Freedom House, after studying 195 countries and 15 territories in 2015, concludes that Cameroon does not promote public freedoms. Our country is classified as “not free at all.” Fifty countries in total are on this unenviable list. “… Cameroon made a poor score of 24 points out of 100. Just like Afghanistan and Angola. Or close to Iraq (25 points), Congo Kinshasa and Chad (20/100), “says La Nouvelle Expression (LNE) reporting the news.

The newspaper reported that the study was conducted from 25 indicators. “These scores are used to determine both assessments on political rights and civil liberties to be in the ”free”, ”partly free ” and ”not free” categories.” Also according to our colleague, the “methodology for assessing freedom is taken from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It has been applied to all countries and territories, regardless of geographic location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development. “

As in Angola, Cameroon is pinned for, according to the American organization, increasing its repressive measures, including against journalists and young political activists.

EQA states that “from Political rights to civil liberties, through freedom of the press, or the internet, the American Association studies the factors that affected populations by both state and non government actors, including insurgents and other armed groups. In this, apart from the restriction of political and civil liberties affecting its population, Cameroon suffered the brunt of the atrocities of the Islamic sect Boko Haram. A brunt that has not worked in his favor to the extent of freedoms. “

The report is likely to cause “the anger” of the spokesman of the government. Issa Tchiroma will certainly make an exit to call them “enemies of Cameroon.”
