Cameroon: What Calixthe Beyala Says About Adja Awa’s Death

Adja Awa, also identified as Hadja Haoua Aboubakar, has disappeared without an official explanation, and accounts of her fate conflict. A “Message Radio Porté” dated July 23, 2025, reportedly ordered a travel ban and searches in Yaoundé, Douala and Maroua in connection with allegations of calls for insurrection. No official source has made the document public; it has circulated in the media and on social networks. A year after her disappearance, Calixthe Beyala’s claim that Adja Awa died at the SED has no publicly available proof, while other sources say she is alive in Chad.
