The most visible and collective relayed initiative that Cameroonian bloggers launched Monday.

Cameroonians are blogging…!

The collectiveness of Cameroonian Bloggers brings unwavering support to the soldiers of our army at the front in the Far - North. #StopBokoHaram.

Yesterday, as every day since the launch of the campaign “Jealous of our Freedom” this 19^th January, 2015, the message was visible on the social networking platform Twitter. A tweet (as it is called) taken back by hundreds of users of social media. Like other information shared in this campaign by Cameroonians and other nationalities around the world. A country with one strong gesture was to propose banners to take as Photo by users.

Hashtag (a word-pound) was used for the contextualization of this initiative #StopBokoHaram. Florian Ngimbis, President of the Collectiveness of Cameroonian bloggers explains the choice: “We surfed on the first use made of this hashtag during the demonstration on 18^th January  in Paris (against the terrorist sect Boko Haram, Editor's note) and also the fact that is reflected in the two official languages of our country. “

The collectivity of Cameroonian bloggers deploying the lens on the Web, in addition to being alongside Cameroonian soldiers and their allies to raise awareness at the national and international awareness of the seriousness of this daily struggle against terrorism. Where soldiers risk their lives to preserve the integrity of Cameroonian territory and neighboring countries. Also where citizens without distinction, especially not religion, are victims of barbaric acts. This was a highlighting that relies on the spread of strength and power of the Internet to reach the greatest number.

The initiative is thus a broad pipeline of information, where users try to share what is happening in the Far North and other places outside our borders where the sect is rampant. Result, many voices join that of the collectivity of Cameroonian bloggers to say no to Boko Haram:

“We received support from bloggers in Senegal, Ivory Coast, France, the USA ... A personality like Youssouf Ndour was involved and the President of the National Assembly (Guillaume Soro, Editor's note) of Côte d'Ivoire. We will continue in the weeks ahead and will involving famous sportsmen and showbiz stars, not to mention of course the crowd of anonymous people who chant #StopBokoHaram everywhere.
