Cameroon – Adja Awa: Death Announced, Truth Still Missing

A year after Adja Awa disappeared, her death was announced on October 26, 2026, in N’Djamena, but no public evidence has confirmed it. On July 23, 2025, a radio message signed by Lieutenant Colonel Bialo Dieudonné ordered a travel ban and searches for her in Yaoundé, Douala and Maroua over alleged “calls for insurrection.” In May 2026, reports said she was alive in Chad after alleged detention and torture at the SED. A former member of the ruling RDPC, she is described as a whistleblower who came from within the party.
