Mohamed Salah's photo confuses Cameroon's voter registers

A bizarre image circulating on social media has sparked widespread controversy in Cameroon after the face of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, a Liverpool player, appeared in the voter database of the electoral commission (Elecam) in Ngaoundé 3. The story began when the French account Instant Foot posted a screenshot from the commission's official website showing a registration card bearing Salah's image, surprising observers and leading many to question the credibility of the country's electronic registration system. What's striking is that the name attached to the image wasn't a real person, but rather a random letter sequence beginning with "AZERTY," which matches the order of letters on a French keyboard, reinforcing suspicions that registration was random or the result of a system glitch. The incident quickly became a topic of discussion on social media, with users sharing comments and humorous images of "Cameroonian Mohamed Salah." Meanwhile, the electoral commission remained silent and has not issued any official explanation as to why the image appeared or how it was included in the system.
