Summary
A session of the African Union Peace and Security Council earlier this month agreed to continue pooling resources for the African Union Standby Force, but raised concerns about the apparent low contribution from member states.
The AU Standby Force was mooted 20 years ago but slowly adopted as the policy ran into AU’s own red tape, such as the initial policy of non-interference in each other’s’ affairs as well as financial commitment.

Popular Cameroonian International female Master of ceremony (Mc), Mc Charlene, the Energy Goddess, has berated fellow Cameroonians who are rejoicing over the canceled February 14 valentine’s day concert.
The Norwegian-based Mc who has always called for collaboration between Nigerian and Cameroonian artists, DJs, entertainers, Filmmaker, and those in the entertainment industry find it hard to believe that some Cameroonians are rejoicing because a show to be headed by a Nigerian artists and superstar Naira Marley was canceled.
In a Facebook post, Mc Charlene made it clear to her fellow Cameroonians that a fight with Nigeria would not help Cameroonian entertainment industry grow. She also said those rejoicing over the canceled concert should know that it is the Cameroonian promoters that suffer a loss because Naira Marley has already been paid.
