And now each night, I count the stars. And each night I get the same number. And when the stars won’t come to be counted, I count the holes they leave.”

- Recently my country Cameroon and its neighbours Nigeria and Chad have been attacked by some bored guys who call themselves Boko Haram! In the media this group has sometimes been labelized BH! Some fellow Cameroonians living abroad and I have decided to show our support to our compatriots fighting at the boarder and raise awareness by reminding them, Boko Haram and the whole world that for a Cameroonian BH meant, means and will always mean Beignets Haricots, a famous cameroonian dish we all love. We have decided to use the hashtag #237VaTchopBH (meaning Cameroon will eat Boko Haram) preceded by a post describing what this dish means to us! Here is my contribution! -

Join the movement with the hastag #237VaTchopBH

Somalia lost another wonderful soul. Your music belongs to our parents generation but your words will remain our guidance. May we break this invisible chain that's hijacked our land.
