Me Alice Nkom mourns Hadja Haoua and demands the truth

After reports of Hadja Haoua’s presumed death in N’Djamena, Chad, Me Alice Nkom expressed her grief in a statement published on October 27. The lawyer and human rights advocate paid tribute to Haoua as a sister, a fighter, and a woman of dignity, and said her fate must not be buried in silence. Haoua, a former CPDM activist known for criticizing figures in Cameroon’s ruling establishment on social media, had disappeared from public view in 2025. No independent confirmation has established the date, location, or circumstances of her presumed death.
