The visiting US ambassador to the United Nations on April 19, 2016, met with the Prime Minister at the Star Building.

The Prime Minister, Head of Government, Philemon Yang, yesterday April 19, 2016 in Yaounde, received the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, on an official visit to Cameroon. The US diplomat, accompanied by the United States Ambassador to Cameroon, Michael Stephen Hoza, and Deputy Secretary for African Affairs, Bruce Whartson, the Commander of the Special Operations Command Africa, Brigadier General Donald Bolduc amongst others, held discussions with the Prime Minister, focusing on the fight against the terrorist sect, Boko Haram.

Though nothing filtered to the press after the over one hour talks, Ambassador Power’s visit to Cameroon, Cameroon Tribune gathered, seeks to reinforce US support in the war against the barbaric activities of the Boko Haram insurgency group in Cameroon’s Far North Region.

Ambassador Samantha Power earlier on Monday April 18, 2016, visited the Minawao Refugee camp in the Far North Region, where she met with thousands of Nigerian refugees and internally displaced people who have fled Boko Haram attacks.
