Philemon Yang is Cameroon's New Prime Minister

By Ben Nakomo

The President of the Republic of Cameroon has appointed a new cabinet. The Cabinet comprises of recycled older members of previous ministerial appointments. The appointments provide an indication that the President is already strategising for the 2011 presidential race or succession. Having dropped a seasoned economist Chief Ephraim Inoni as Prime Minister, the President is seen playing chess as he appoints Mr Philemon Yang to pacify the more vocal rulling CPDM party officials and boisterous opposition politicians, all from the northwest region, from where the new Prime Minister hails.

Hello, I am seeking a contact email address for Dr. Marie-Therese Abena Obama. I am a doctor in Canada and spent some time in Cameroon with her and in the NW province as a medical student in 1992.

I would very much like to contact her in order to arrange future work in rural Cameroon.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated even if you could just please pass her this note.

You are also welcome to pass my email address to her and allow her to contact me at her convenience.

Many thanks,

Dr. Lori Regenstreif
