In Cameroon, Investigative Journalists Want More ProtectionFrom Deutsche Welle (DW) by Martina Schwikowski. Here is an excerpt:

Throughout December, Zogo had reported daily on his program “Embouteillages” that he had documents which allegedly proved that high-ranking public officials had stolen several million dollars from the state treasury since 2013.

He claimed that he had forwarded evidence of a “flood of embezzlement and corruption” involving a local media organization with ties to the government to Cameroonian President Paul Biya. According to media reports, media mogul Jean-Pierre Amougou Belinga, the owner of the TV channel Vision 4 and the weekly L’Anecdote who is said to have close ties to Finance Minister Louis-Paul Motaze, is one of those implicated in the case.

“To mobilize for Martinez Zogo is to fight for the rule of law,” Cameroonian journalist Aboudi Ottou tweeted on January 22.
