Swansea disappointed by Williams’ departure
Sports World News of Thursday, 11 August 2016Source: BBCSwansea disappointed by Williams’ departureChairman Huw Jenkins says Swansea were disappointed to see Ashley Williams join Everton but had "reluctantly" agreed to his transfer request.

Wales captain Williams, 31, has joined the Toffees for an undisclosed fee, thought to be up to £12m with add-ons. Williams, whose contract is due to run until 2018, has played more than 350 games for the Swans since joining for £300,000 from Stockport in March 2008.

Health News of Thursday, 11 August 2016Source: cameroon-tribune.cmSexual Health: actors seek to break taboosA workshop to support dialogues in reproductive health issues took place on August 10, 2016 in Yaounde. Participants have been sensitised on the dangers of clandestine abortion, health rights, the causes of maternal and infant mortality as well as the difference between personal belief and professional ethics in terms of reproductive health services. Information from health experts indicate that in the country there are still controversies amongst the population when it comes to family planning and abortion as well as talking about reproductive health issues to youths in Cameroon. As such, CAMNAFAW is out to inform the population on their rights to good health, and the need for pregnant women and youths to visit centres where some of their health issues will be addressed. Professor Philip Nana from the Ministry of Public Health explained that although maternal and neonatal mortality rates seem to reduce in the country, the downward trend is slow not only because of the cost of health but also because many people are not rightly sensitised on reproductive health.

So the whole issue is not just about the availability of textbooks, but also about access to them. For example, textbooks for one Form One of the French Language sub-system cost about FCFA 82 000 and rise up to FCFA 112 000 for a Form Four student! When our reporters went out a few days ago, they found that most bookshops were unusually well-stocked. In one case it was reported that there were as many as five books for one subject!

Cameroon bank workers accused of massive theft
Business News of Wednesday, 10 August 2016Source: AFPCameroon bank workers accused of massive theftFour employees of a Cameroon bank have been detained on suspicion of stealing millions of euros, sources told AFP on Tuesday. “Undue expenses of three billion CFA francs (4.5 million euros, $5 million) were made from 2008 and 2012 for furniture,” the source cited in one example. The bank, which is 61 percent owned by BPCE, was run by four French nationals in succession at the time of the theft. A BICEC official declined to confirm the figures, but added that the bank had launched a lawsuit after the thefts emerged. The group, which includes a former director-general of the bank who was sacked in May and a former head of accounting, are accused of “embezzlement of several billion CFA francs” over around a decade, the source added.
