- Summary
Cameroon has been infiltrated by Nigeria’s Islamist extremist group Boko Haram and there are fears that this central African nation, known for its stability, is drifting into chaos.
Nigerian Islamist extremist group attacked a military post in the region of Cameroon on May 5, lends credence to the fact that the attack was carried out with the help of local informants. Attacks on Cameroon also have result in refugees to fleeing for safety in Cameroon. Many in the region remain afraid for their lives and are reluctant to volunteer any information about Boko Haram’s members. Government has to make use of all its available human and technical resources to stem the threat.

It was terrible to read for three reasons : innocent people were killed, the conflicts could expand to war between nations,
First, innocent people in Cameroon were killed for no reasons by Boko Haram.
Second, the conflicts between Cameroon and Boko Haram could expand to bigger war that killing more people.
Also, the conflicts, the crises in Cameroon make Cameroonian unstable. Therefore, government of Cameroon must fight against Boko Haram to protect their nation.

First, it benefits reduce transfer cost in business.
Second, it will create new industries as online business trades increases by Paypal service.
Third, Cameroon is one of many fast-growing countries in Africa, so there are many potential customers who want online payment service.

- Summary
France will lend Cameroon 52 billion CFA francs ($108 million) to fund the second phase of a water drainage project in the capital, Yaounde. The project seeks to manage flood-related risks and reduce associated health risks for residents on the banks of the Mfoundi river which runs through the city, the government and the French Development Agency said in a joint statement.

Many cameroonian blames to this decision of Cameroon's government because cameroon finance will record deficit. However I think that it is a wise decision because it will have more profit compared to potential flood-related damages in the long term.
For this reason, I think funding from France is a wise decision.

I think that we should do our best to heal lands for three reasons : nature such as land is the most precious source, it is the inheritance to give our discendants, and It is difficult to restore nature to its former condition once it is laid waste.
First, nature is the most precious source because human civilization has progressed using natural sources.
Second, we should give these nature to our discendants for maintenance of human civilization.
Third, it is difficult to restore nature to its former condition once it is laid waste.
For these reasons, we should do our best to heal lands.
