The Movement for the Renaissance of Cameroon expressed its solidarity with people incarcerated during the tensions following the presidential election of October 12, 2025, by providing them with donations.
So-called political prisoners from Ngoma prison and New-Bell prison in the city of Douala received donations from the Movement for the Renaissance of Cameroon (MRC) on March 1st. The opposition party expressed its solidarity with the 300 inmates of the Ngoma detention center and the hundred at New-Bell by offering them products consisting of boxes of soap, boxes of cooking oil, boxes of condensed milk, bags of rice, pallets of mineral water, as well as bags of peanuts.

The gesture, ordered by the president of the said party, Maurice Kamto, is part of the “solidarity pact,” which the political group presents as one of its pillars. In its logic, the party intends to support Cameroonians in difficulty. Even if not all 400 detainees are its militants, the MRC, by sending a delegation to these two prisons, wanted to provide humanitarian assistance to these people in need, whom another opposition leader is calling to support.

The president of the Front for the National Salvation of Cameroon, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, launched an appeal for solidarity in favor of these detainees a few days ago. In a message, he recalled the conditions in which people arrested in the context of post-election demonstrations are held: “starving, deprived of care, meals, and visits.” Although some of these descriptions are debatable, the opponent nevertheless aims to activate the chain of solidarity in favor of these Cameroonians.
