Promoting Peace And Development : Weh Youths Renew Commitment

Youths from Weh, a village in the North West region in Cameroon, residing in Douala under the Weh Youths Association (WEYAS), held their 31st national convention on Saturday January 31, 2026. Held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Fon Mbuh II of Weh village, the event served as both a cultural showcase and a strategic fundraising mission to drive development in the Weh Fondom of Menchum Division. Under the theme "Weh Youth: Preserving Culture, Enhancing Innovation, and Fostering Peace," the primary objective of this year’s convention was the launch of a major project: A Multi-Purpose Youth Vocational Training Center.
The National President of WEYAS, Ateh Lang Dieudonne Kah, emphasized that the association, founded in 1990, has a long history of self-reliance. "Our main objective is to foster development and ensure that every youth can be self-reliant," Kah stated. "From building schools like the one in Kelang to maintaining our 1977 water project and fencing the Fon’s Palace, we have always been active. Now, we are dreaming bigger with a center for vocational training to empower our peers with practical skills", he added. HRH Fon Mbuh II graced the occasion, expressing immense pride in the youth's ability to maintain their heritage while living out from home. He lauded their recent success in a Douala-based cultural exchange where the Weh youths took first place. "We stand as parents to ensure the tradition we transmit remains unadulterated," the Fon remarked. He also reminded the youth that any major project must align with the Weh Cultural and Development Association to ensure sustainable success. "The Weh Youth represent the future; we count on them to be the spear of victory for our fatherland."
