Presidential aspirant Kah Walla and others attacked by police during peaceful protest in Douala.
Update on presidential aspirant Kah Walla after Police attack
According to a reliable source who has spoken with here, "she is shaken up but okay." This is how she was attacked:
The march was in process and when police approached, protesters sat down on the ground in the street in a non-violent posture .
Police immediately proceeded to beat the crowd with batons and when Kah stood up to say it was not necessary since the protesters were peaceful, the police commissioner yelled out directions to have her brought to him saying he would "teach her a lesson."
She was dragged out and made to stand on the median in the middle of the street. The police commissioner then asked the truck containing water to turn around and focus on her. With the high-powered hoses directed at her, she was hosed down brutally for minutes and when she managed to escape she was grabbed, beaten on the back of her legs and dragged to a police detention truck. She had difficulty seeing and breathing due to the chemicals in the water. When she finally gained composure she was released. Many protesters with her were savagely beaten all over their bodies including the head with batons.
More images of police brutality on presidential aspirant Kah Walla available on The Chia Report.
Cameroonians, it is not about passion or emotion, but about reason. Take your time to study the imagery produced in this report and see whether there are any identifiable trends that may indicate bias. The person beaten with batons is a man not a woman. Thus it is not Kah Walla. She was sprayed with water.
What links the two incidence? How reliable is your source? What are you trying to achieve? Stop trying to bring unrest in Cameroon

Biya singlehandedly changed the constitution to put him permanently in power, he has craeted ELECAM in his own image. He is about to declare himself candidate for the elections and this is tantamount to declaration of war on the Cameroonians people.
From the time he will declare himself a candidate and immediately during or after elections Cameroonians/Biya will know no peace.
This is a recipe for Chaos

cadmun or whatever you call yourself! it seems you can't even read the english language corectly. did the reporter said the man who is being beaten is Kah Wallah??? The reporter has taken the pains to explain how the incident went on and also emphasises on the fact that other protesters were beaten all over their bodies including their heads!!! Is this not clear enough???
If you are a Biya fan, then just look for where to hide because when the time comes, you'll not know where to stand your feet.

To Ntam and Steph.
To Steph: I can certainly read English and maybe better than you. These are the words of the reporter "Police immediately proceeded to beat the crowd with batons and when Kah stood up to say....." On that video above,there is only one person not a crowd and we cannot determine why he is been beaten. I wonder why you say "...other protesters were beaten..."
To Ntam: Which is worse, a government that uses force to maintain law and order or an activist who manipulates images and videos to cause naive and innocent people to take to the street and get killed.
A blogger and activist who manipulates images and videos to incite unrest is worst.
We Cameroonians should be careful with the change we are asking cause those who are campaigning for change are already showing
how dishonest they can be.If they were in a position of power, there is no guarantee they won't abuse power to achieve their interest.........Power corrupts power..
