Cameroonian journalist Remy Ngono has disclosed that Central African Republic President Faustin-Archange Touadéra financed his 2020 electoral campaign with money embezzled from Cameroon. Ngono’s investigation points to a direct link between diverted Cameroonian state funds and Touadéra’s re-election efforts.
The revelations raise serious questions about cross-border financial crimes and political accountability in the region. Touadéra, who won the 2020 election amid controversy, now faces renewed scrutiny over the origins of his campaign financing.
