Dans le supplément de ce dimanche, en première partie, direction l'est de l'Europe. Chaque jour, la Russie est à l'offensive contre l'Ukraine. Missiles, drones, artillerie, le nombre des victimes, le plus souvent des civils, ne cesse d'augmenter et pour l'Europe, le risque d'une extension du conflit au-delà de l'Ukraine est très prégnant. L'Estonie est déjà en position défensive, mais pour s'armer, il faut de l'argent,  la part du PIB réservée à l'armement va donc passer de 3 à 5%. En seconde partie, direction le Cameroun, à Buea, dans l'ouest du pays non loin de la zone côtière, dans l'une des 2 régions anglophones. Buea tangente la zone chaude du conflit séparatiste.   Estonie : la Défense à tout prix C'est une ex-République de l'URSS située au nord de l'Europe : l'Estonie, l'un des trois pays baltes vit avec la crainte de subir à son tour une attaque de son grand voisin russe. Le pays qui dépense déjà beaucoup pour sa défense - plus de 3% de son PIB - a décidé d'aller encore plus loin. Dès l'année prochaine, le pays va consacrer plus de 5% de son PIB à la défense. C'est d'après le gouvernement, le prix à payer pour assurer sa sécurité, tout en gardant le soutien de l'allié américain.Un Grand Reportage de Nicolas Feldmann qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.Buea, les échos d'une crise oubliée au Cameroun anglophone Au Cameroun, les autorités viennent de célébrer (le 20 mai) la Fête de l'Unité nationale.

Au Cameroun, les autorités viennent de célébrer (le 20 mai) la Fête de l'Unité nationale. Mais dans les deux régions à majorité anglophone du pays, le Nord-Ouest et le Sud-Ouest, la violence est toujours une réalité, huit ans après le début de la lutte armée. Face à face : groupes séparatistes réclamant l'indépendance du Cameroun anglophone et forces gouvernementales. En 8 ans, la nature de la crise a changé. Les mouvements armés se sont fragmentés. Le front s'est dilué en diverses zones d'insécurité. Les civils restant les premières victimes.L'impact est réel, même dans les zones calmes des régions anglophones.En cette année électorale au Cameroun, Amélie Tulet s'est rendue fin février 2025 à Buea, capitale du Sud-Ouest, relativement sûre et terre d'accueil de nombreux déplacés. La population y souffre de la crise en termes de santé, de sécurité, ou d'économie.«Buea, les échos d'une crise oubliée au Cameroun anglophone», un Grand reportage d'Amélie Tulet, avec Alphonse Tebeck.

Dans les deux régions à majorité anglophone du Cameroun, le Nord-Ouest et le Sud-Ouest, la violence est toujours une réalité, huit ans après le début d'une lutte armée entre groupes séparatistes réclamant l'indépendance d'un Cameroun anglophone et forces gouvernementales de Yaoundé. Il n'y a plus de front à proprement parler mais des zones d'insécurité, où les armes circulent et où les civils sont les premières victimes. Les conséquences sont aussi économiques, sur la vie quotidienne des habitants. Par Amélie Tulet et Alphonse Tebeck,Sur la route de Buea en partant de Douala, une fois passé le fleuve Moungo, Salim, chauffeur, constate à quel point le paysage a changé : « Avant la crise, juste quand on finissait de traverser les champs d'hévéas, on avait de vastes étendues de plantations de bananes plantain, entretenues et exploitées par la CDC (Cameroon Development Corporation). Mais depuis la crise, les séparatistes ont empêché les travailleurs d'aller aux champs et puis, tout est allé en ruine. C'est triste. »Embouteillages et pénurie de logementsUne fois à Buea, aux heures de pointe, sur l'axe principal qui traverse cette ville du sud-ouest du Cameroun, les conducteurs de taxis ont dû s'habituer aux embouteillages. Avec l'afflux de déplacés, en moins de trois ans, la population a doublé. « Nous trouvons difficile de circuler comme nous le faisions il y a six ou sept ans », se lamente l'un d'eux. « On se trouve confronté à des défis comme la surconsommation d'essence dans les embouteillages, renchérit un autre. C'est vraiment le premier problème : le temps perdu… C'est dur. Il y a du travail, mais ça va trop lentement à cause du monde. La population a augmenté, mais il n'y a pas assez de routes. »Une croissance rapide qui se fait sentir aussi dans le quotidien de cet agent immobilier : « Les habitants des zones reculées de Kumba et de Bamenda viennent ici dans la zone verte de Buea. Ça pousse les propriétaires à augmenter les prix. La demande est supérieure à l'offre, ça affecte les plus pauvres. Certains, pour s'en sortir, cotisent et se mettent à cinq dans une seule chambre. »Commerce perturbé, taxes des groupes armésEn journée, Buea est une ville commerçante animée. Le soir, de nombreux bars sont ouverts. Malgré cet apparent retour à la normale, les « ghost town mondays » (les lundis villes mortes), décrétés par les groupes armés, continuent d'être respectés par une partie des habitants, ce qui fait chuter l'activité.« Je fais des yaourts et je les vends, mais le lundi, les affaires tournent au ralenti, témoigne une commerçante. Comme c'est journée ville morte, les gens restent chez eux. Ils ne viennent pas au marché. Ça fait baisser mes revenus. Ça affecte mon foyer. Parfois, je n'ai plus d'argent pour le lendemain pour envoyer mon fils à l'école. Vous savez, quand c'est lundi ville morte, chacun pense d'abord à sa survie. Alors, tout le monde reste à l'intérieur. »En dehors des agglomérations, sur les axes qu'ils contrôlent, les groupes armés continuent de prélever sur les habitants des taxes : taxes sur les personnes, les marchandises, jusqu'aux corps des défunts qu'il faut enterrer au village.À lire aussiCameroun anglophone: près de Buea, un centre de rééducation prend en charge des blessures de guerre [2/4]

Pour le Norwegian Refugee Council, c'est une des crises les plus négligées au monde. Pourtant, au Cameroun, dans les deux régions à majorité anglophone du pays, le Nord-Ouest et le Sud-Ouest, la violence est toujours une réalité, huit ans après le début d'une lutte armée entre groupes séparatistes réclamant l'indépendance d'un Cameroun anglophone et forces gouvernementales de Yaoundé. Cependant, la nature de la crise a beaucoup changé. Les mouvements se sont fragmentés. Il n'y a plus de front, mais des zones d'insécurité et les civils sont les premières victimes. Les armes circulent et les kidnappings crapuleux pour extorquer de l'argent aux habitants sont nombreux. Rencontre avec une rescapée d'un de ces enlèvements contre rançon. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Buea,Pour témoigner, elle choisit le prénom Assiko. Début mai 2020, Assiko a 27 ans quand elle est enlevée en pleine rue à Bamenda, dans l'ouest du Cameroun.« On est sortis déjeuner avec ma sœur aînée et vers 19 heures, à la sortie du restaurant, ils nous ont interceptées. Ils ont pris la voiture, ils nous ont emmenées, ils nous ont couvert la tête. Quand ils nous ont libéré le visage, on était dans la brousse. On n'avait aucun moyen d'identifier la route par où nous sommes arrivées. Nous étions très loin dans la forêt, là où on entend juste le chant des oiseaux, et comme un ruisseau. Il y avait une sorte de grange. C'est là qu'on a passé la nuit », se souvient-elle.Une nuit d'angoisse commence alors pour Assiko et sa grande sœur : « C'était terrible… terrifiant. Ils pointent des armes sur vous, vous donnent des coups de pieds, vous frappent. Vous voyez ces marques sur mes jambes, ce sont des cigarettes. Ma sœur avait des tresses. Vous savez ce que ça signifie pour une femme, quand ils arrachent les cheveux, malgré les cris ? », raconte la jeune femme.Elle poursuit : « Il n'y a pas eu de viol. Nous avons eu de la chance. Mais les gens qu'ils ont emmenés avant nous, nous avons compris qu'ils avaient été tués. » Ceux qui les ont enlevées leur prennent tout : argent, chaussures... Ils cherchent également contacts et photos de leur maison dans leurs téléphones.« Être à Bamenda, c'est comme vivre dans une cage »Au petit matin, Assiko reconnaît un de ses ravisseurs : « Il a dit "j'ai fait une erreur". Puis, il a dit ''tu n'as pas changé, tu as la même voix''. J'étais surprise. Il m'a dit ''on était dans le même lycée, tu ne me reconnais pas, mais je me souviens de toi parce que j'avais le béguin pour toi". Il me semblait familier, mais je ne me souvenais pas de son nom. »Assiko et sa sœur ont été relâchées contre plus de deux millions de francs CFA. La victime ne sait toujours pas quel groupe l'a enlevée. Elle se sent toujours fragilisée, cinq ans après : « Il y a cette peur constante que quelque chose puisse arriver, que quelqu'un puisse surgir pour vous emmener. Quand on en parle, tout le monde est concerné, directement ou indirectement. Le calme que nous avons connu en grandissant s'est envolé. Être à Bamenda, c'est comme vivre dans une cage. Ici, à Buea, c'est plus une cage avec un jardin, mais à Bamenda, on est dans une vraie cage. »Assiko n'a jamais porté plainte. Aucun chiffre officiel n'évalue le nombre de kidnappings ces dernières années dans les régions du Sud-Ouest et du Nord-Ouest.À lire aussiCameroun anglophone: à Missellele, d'ex-«ambaboys» se reconstruisent dans un centre DDR [1/4]À lire aussiCameroun: près de Buea, un centre de rééducation prend en charge des blessures de guerre [2/4]À lire aussiCameroun: des membres de la société civile dénoncent la pratique du «calé calé» [3/4]

Cependant, la nature de la crise a beaucoup changé. Les mouvements se sont fragmentés. Il n'y a plus de front, mais des zones d'insécurité et les civils sont les premières victimes. Plusieurs acteurs de la société civile dénoncent la pratique du « calé calé » : où des citoyens sont arrêtés en masse par les forces de l'ordre avant d'être relâchés contre de l'argent. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Buea,Sylvia est une déplacée, installée dans la banlieue de Buéa, ville du sud-ouest du Cameroun. Régulièrement, tôt le matin, elle doit prend ses cinq enfants pour courir se cacher en forêt : « Quand ils veulent nous prendre, quand on entend qu'ils arrivent, on court. On va dans la forêt... Puis, certains vont vérifier, et si ça se calme, alors on rentre. » La dernière fois que Sylvia a dû se cacher, c'était un lundi. « Lundi, c'était "calé calé" », dit-elle.L'activiste Sally Ndape a les traits tirés après ces nuits passées à travailler sur les dossiers qu'elle défend. Fondatrice de l'ONG Community Initiative for Developmental Action (CIDA), Initiative communautaire pour l'action en faveur du développement, elle a recensé plus de 800 civils raflés par les forces de l'ordre ces derniers mois :« Chaque fois qu'ils arrêtent les gens, ils leur prennent de l'argent. Calculez 50 000 francs CFA multiplié par 50 personnes, ou 50 000 francs CFA multiplié par 300 personnes... C'est un business, c'est une façon d'extorquer de l'argent à une population qui souffre déjà du conflit. S'il s'agissait de lutter contre les groupes armés, de réduire la violence, ils procèderaient aux arrestations, interrogeraient les gens puis les laisseraient simplement partir. Mais ce n'est pas ce qu'il se passe. »« Ces extorsions par l'armée et la police doivent cesser »Dans son cabinet, l'avocat Edward Lyonga montre les différents prix reçus pour son travail en faveur des droits humains. « Quand vous êtes arrêté, vous pouvez être gardé au commissariat ou en cellule pendant 15 jours renouvelables. En septembre, plus de 80 civils ont été arrêtés dans un village appelé Bonakanda. Ils ont finalement libéré un bon nombre d'entre eux, mais 25 ont été emmenés au tribunal militaire, détaille l'avocat. J'y suis allé. Je me suis battu jusqu'à ce que tous soient libérés. Ça fait partie des cas de violations des droits humains engendrées par cette crise. »Pour Félix Agbor Balla, directeur du Centre pour les droits de l'homme et la démocratie en Afrique (CHRDA) figure de la société civile, ces pratiques sont délétères et sapent le retour à la normale : « J'ai rencontré beaucoup de gens impliqués dans la crise, pas pour l'indépendance ou le fédéralisme, mais pour se venger d'un gouvernement qui a violé leurs droits et les a opprimés. Ces détentions illégales, ces extorsions par l'armée et la police doivent cesser, parce que cela incite des Camerounais à haïr l'État. C'est très grave, pour un jeune homme, de haïr son pays. »Contacté, le ministère de la Défense du Cameroun assure que des actions de sensibilisation sont menées et que « les comportements déviants de certains militaires ne doivent pas être considérés comme un comportement d'ensemble ».À lire aussiCameroun anglophone: à Missellele, d'ex-«ambaboys» se reconstruisent dans un centre DDR [1/4]À lire aussiCameroun: près de Buea, un centre de rééducation prend en charge des blessures de guerre [2/4]

Au Cameroun, dans les régions à majorité anglophone, la violence est une réalité huit ans après le début d'une lutte armée entre groupes séparatistes et forces gouvernementales. Pour le Norwegian Refugee Council, cette crise est l'une des plus négligées au monde. Aujourd'hui, les mouvements sont fragmentés, il n'y a plus de front à proprement parler, mais des zones d'insécurité et les civils sont les premières victimes. À Mile 14, dans la banlieue de Buea, un centre de rééducation autrefois dédié à la poliomyélite prend en charge depuis huit ans de véritables blessures de guerre. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Buea,Sur une dizaine de machines grinçantes, les pensionnaires du centre géré par le diocèse de Buea réapprennent à se mouvoir. Rien qu'en 2024, l'équipe de Sœur Hortensia a pris en charge 49 personnes amputées venues des deux régions Sud-Ouest et Nord-Ouest. « Depuis le début de la crise, si vous regardez autour de vous, nous recevons surtout des patients qui ont subi des amputations, causées par des tirs, des explosions, explique la professionnelle. D'autres se sont retrouvés bloqués dans leurs maisons incendiées, ils ont pu s'enfuir, mais avec des blessures graves, qui n'ont pas été traitées à temps, et ils ont dû être amputés. » Un espace est dédié aux enfants souffrant de malformations parfois liées aux manques de soins pendant la grossesse et à des accouchements précaires. « Donner naissance à un enfant dans le bush, ce n'est pas pareil qu'à l'hôpital. Et avec la pauvreté, certaines femmes enceintes sont mal nourries, déplore Sœur Hortensia. Beaucoup de ces enfants arrivent avec leurs grand-mères. Quand je demande où est la mère ? On me répond qu'elle est partie... Beaucoup sont nés de viols commis par des hommes armés. La fille est violée, donne naissance à l'enfant, l'abandonne et s'en va. »À lire aussiCrise anglophone au Cameroun: stopper la violence chez les jeunes, objectif d'un rassemblement à Bamenda« Elles n'avaient plus des visages d'enfants, elles ressemblaient à des grands-mères »Dans une des chambres, sur trois lits côte à côte, trois jeunes filles, Merlin, Emmanuella et Cynthia, sont amputées des deux jambes. Des rescapées de l'attentat de Nkambe, ville du nord-ouest du Cameroun où, le 11 février 2024, un engin a explosé lors de la Fête de la Jeunesse organisée par les autorités. Merlin avait 15 ans. « Je suis allée voir le défilé. Nous étions debout sur le côté pour regarder. Il y avait de la danse, plein d'autres choses, témoigne la jeune fille. Nous étions là. Et soudain, nous étions allongés sur le sol. C'est tout ce dont je me souviens. Ils nous ont fabriqué des jambes artificielles. Tous les jours, nous les mettons pour apprendre à marcher avec. »Sur le lit d'à côté, Emmanuella, 17 ans, tire le bas de sa robe pour cacher ses cicatrices. « C'était dur à cause de la douleur. Mais à présent, ça va, la douleur est partie.  »« Quand ces filles sont arrivées ici, elles n'avaient plus des visages d'enfants, elles ressemblaient à des grands-mères, dénonce Sœur Hortensia.

(Disclaimer! we apologize for the audio quality and will do  better, Please enjoy this episode) In This Episode the FilmBros discuss several topics like Hugh Jackman refusing steroids, DC  rumors, and we react to a few trailers like A24's "Buea is afraid" and Marvel's  "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania" Support the show

Donald Ambe is a political activist who hails from Buea in Cameroon. He is a pan-African at heart whose life's mission is the betterment of the lives of Africans across the world. He also mentors several young political aspirants within the student milieu.Donald's drive for activism began during his time as a young student when he discovered his fascination with leadership and student governance. Our conversation centered on African political dynamics and how to sanitize the inefficiency of political leadership in Africa. Donald elaborates on what he calls “the reduction of the African story”, which fuels great misrepresentation of the achievement and identity of the continent.Donald sees the political mandate of the African leader through a timeline spectrum; the leaders of the struggle for independence focused on liberation, but today's leaders must be concerned about economic prosperity.Donald discusses his affiliation with the Julius Malema-led Economic Freedom Fighters. He highlights the need for the EFF's unique approach of a blend between radicalism and civility as an important tool for keeping African leaders on their toes and consistently accountable to the people.Donald agrees with the importance of a homogenized African currency, however, he has concerns about the relationships with colonial masters and the need for African states such as the francophone countries to disentangle themselves from colonial influence and to chart a path towards holistic liberation. Donald believes that the increased competition between global superpowers presents Africa with a unique opportunity to develop and to grow stronger through strategic positioning and negotiations.The conversation draws to a close as we engage Donald's work with training young African leaders. He identifies apathy as the first hurdle young people need to cross to contribute effectively to the development of the continent. He believes the involvement of the youth as the active and energetic workforce of the continent through constant messaging is the key to Africa taking its place as a behemoth within the global political and economic space.We end on Donald's optimistic view of the future of Africa. He believes that with consistent and intentional efforts, Africa would be able to realize its full potential. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

African immigrants have contributed significantly to the growth and diversity of the overall Black population in the United States. As an immigrant, I know how hard it is for someone to come to the United States with nothing but a dream and work hard to see their dreams come to pass. The story of Solange Che is that of challenging oneself to become their best version. To quote Solange  – “failure is a state of mind that if not handled with care can destroy one's personality. It took acceptance, goal setting, revamping my self-confidence, sacrifice, resilience, and vulnerability to come to the realization that I can start all over again and be my best version.” Join us on this episode as she takes us through all the turns in her life journey – from her upbringing to education, traveling to Germany for her master's in linguistics, having a baby unplanned, moving to the United States, and how she was able to turn around her life (with the help of God Almighty) to become her best version. This journey will be motivating, inspiring, and emotional. Welcome to episode twenty-one(21).    Meet Our Guest : Solange Che is the fifth of a family of seven born in Cameroon. She did her Bachelor's and Masters in Linguistics at the University of Buea in Cameroon and later had a scholarship to study applied linguistics at the University of Cologne in Germany.  She is a mother, a linguist and Salesforce consultant by profession, and a podcaster. She is an 8x Certified Salesforce Administrator/Consultant and Scrum certified with so many years of experience working in an agile environment.  She is the host of the “You Can Be Anything Podcast' where she shares her inspiring journey with her listeners. On her podcast, she shares real-life experiences and lessons learned and chats with people with similar stories so that listeners will have a wide variety of content to draw from.

Jehovah Has Healed is a book that was born out of a mother's journey through loss, faith, and the Supernatural. Like every newly married couple, Carine and Victor Njoh dreamed of a happily ever after life, but God had other plans. In Carine's words – “It looked like I'd never see the dawn of the day. I asked many questions, but the answers didn't seem forthcoming.”  In the book, Carine walks us through her experiences, but in this episode, we go deeper into how Victor was also impacted by the multiple loss and how God revived their faith and healed their hurt.  Today, we continue from where episode seventeen(17) ended. I hope the conversation inspires you as it did me. This is such an important topic in our community, as it could lift up the spirit of someone going through something similar. It is therefore my greatest hope that the conversation doesn't end here, and that we can keep it going within our circles. Thank you for listening.    Meet Our Guests : Victor is the 3rd child (first set of twins) from a family of 8. Born in Kumba, Cameroon to Mr. Christopher Njoh & Mrs. Ruth Njoh née Tabod, both of blessed memory. He relocated to the U.S in 1996 where he attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU )  in Weatherford and graduated in 2003 with a Doctorate in Pharmacy.  Carine is the 5th of 6 children. Born in Buea to Mr. John  Ndeh & Mrs. Hilda Ndeh née Asanji. She relocated to the U.S in 2000 where she started College at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, as well. She graduated in 2010 with a Doctorate in Pharmacy.  Victor and Carine met at SWOSU. At the time, Victor was President of Southwestern International Students Associations (SISA), and so was instrumental in helping her navigate the (school) system. Their relationship kicked off a couple of years later. They got married in 2008 and that's where their story begins.   Contact Our Guest: Facebook: Carine Ndeh Njoh E-mail: Carinenjoh@gmail.com  Buy Book On Amazon Now: Jehovah Has Healed   Things You Will Learn in This Episode:  [00:03 – 10:00] Empathizing With People & Supporting Your Spouse Anyoh empathizes with Carine and Victor Why our community needs to be more sensitive People need to stay out of other people's life Victor talked about how he supported Carine  [10:00 – 20:00] Going Through Life While Facing These Challenges Working on their expectations for life in general Holding onto each other in the midst of the challenges Victor shares one particular experience in the hospital with Carine Dealing with grief and not getting stuck [20:00 – 30:00] Spiritual Encounters & Advices Victor shares his spiritual encounter for the first time Carine shares more light on her spiritual encounter as seen in her book – "Jehovah Has Healed" Victor talks about how God answered them by giving them, Josiah (their son) Ask your friends about what you can do to help them Victor talks about how to deal with negative comments [50:00 – 53:54] Final Words Carine prays for the audience Final words from Carine and Victor Anyoh's final words   "Since you can't control what people say about you – to keep your peace of mind, please learn to filter out what you give your ears and attention to.” – Victor Njoh, on how to deal with negative comments “If you are really concerned about someone having their own child then pray for them.

Put a seed in the ground and nurture that seed to grow, it will do an amazing thing to your psyche.” – Victor Njoh, on how he coped  “Our community needs to do better to be sensitive. Be sensitive to people going through issues – people finding it difficult to give birth or have kids with special needs. Remember that you don't have to say everything that comes into your mind, especially when the person is around.” – Carine Njoh “I know what I went through and I know without God, I couldn't have survived.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) –  in 2019,  reports showed that 38.2 million children under the age of 5 years were estimated to be overweight or obese. Once considered a high-income country problem, overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. In Africa, the number of overweight children under 5 has increased by nearly 24% since 2000.  What makes this worse is the fact that most African countries have this mindset that being overweight has been associated with richness, health, strength, and fertility, whereas in the Western world, the slim body size is widely idealized. So children and teens with obesity are considered nourished and nice hence their obesity is less diagnosed. Today, we have with us Dr. Judwin Ndzo to share her experience as a pediatrician who deals with cases of child obesity on a daily basis. This episode is focused on the causes of child obesity, myths surrounding child obesity, and preventive measures we can put in place to ensure our children don't become obese. We also discussed the impact obesity has on children's mental health. I hope you learn and pick some key points from this episode – remember to share this episode and the lessons learned with your circles.   Meet Our Guest : Dr. Ndzo is a UK-based pediatrician who is passionate about helping children grow, thrive, and achieve their maximal potential in life. Early in her career, after graduating from the University of Buea, Cameroon, she worked at Solidarity Clinic in Buea, where she developed a passion for managing children. Her interest in nutrition led her to her job with MSF Swiss and later the French Red Cross in Garoua-boulaï, Eastern Cameroon where she worked in a refugee camp for almost 2 years, looking after malnourished kids. Following this, she won a Chevening scholarship to study for a master's in Public Health Nutrition at the University of Southampton, UK. The following year, she decided to start her residency in Paediatrics and became a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in 2021. She is keen to mentor and help other young Cameroonians pursue their career goals.  When not working, she enjoys traveling, working out, hiking, cooking, socializing, and hanging out with friends!   Contact Our Guest: Instagram: @aliehjudwin Linkedin:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/judwin-ndzo-16317b70   Things You Will Learn in This Episode:  [00:01 – 03:00] Introduction Getting to know our guest [03:00 – 15:00] Understanding Childhood Obesity What is childhood obesity? Understanding BMI & Growth Charts Obesity in Africa & risk factors Demographical data on obesity The impact of obesity on children's health [15:00 – 30:00] Mental Health of Obese Children & Myths of Obesity Mental health issues children face due to obesity The effects of bullying on obese children Myths surrounding obesity in Africa  The importance of eating healthy diets [30:00 – 42:00] Advise, Recommendations & Ways Out of Obesity Prioritizing breastfeeding and proper weaning Practice exercising and healthy meal habits in the family Advice to the teens facing obesity The importance of being sensitive when addressing obesity Being a good example and positive role model for our children Importance of family therapy and creating safe spaces for discussions around obesity [42:00 – 46:55] Final Words Dr. Ndzo's final words Anyoh's final words   Quotes “Yes, the most important thing is that babies eventually have food. But it's important to talk about the importance of breastfeeding. So we know that babies who are bottle-fed are much more likely to develop obesity in the future and alongside diabetes and or whatnot.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “I see children with diabetes, with hypertension, with low self-esteem, all those things. It really bothers me to see obese children suffer such health problems, especially at such a young age and I think we need to start with the adults, we are we need to be role models to our children. Let's have healthy families because healthy families would lead to healthier communities.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “I see a lot of Cameroonian men who are obese and some of them don't even realize that until they get diagnosed maybe with hypertension and diabetes, and then they start making an effort to want to lose weight. So I think we need to start by looking at our own selves as adults. We cannot be telling a child, you're obese and things when yourself you've not started with yourself.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo   “So do that BMI test, look at a BMI chart, calculate your BMI, you can literally do it at home, measure your child's height and measure your child's weight. I think anything over 25 is overweight and then obese or morbidly obese. So if your child is falling within that range, then have an honest conversation with them. And you don't necessarily have to be condescending, but just try to see things that you can start by changing in the household. And also having that conversation with them.” – Anyoh Fombad   LEAVE A REVIEW and tell us what you think about the episode so we can continue putting out the best content just for you!

As I end my trip to my homeland, I would like to introduce Episode 8 with Dr. Ben-Lawrence Kemah, one of my old friends and someone who enjoys deep intellectual journeys as much as I do. Back in 2017, we would've been easily found exploring the commonalities in our cultures and our religions and debating topics while working on our portfolios till late at night. Two boys, from Buea and Lahore working towards their respective dreams of becoming surgeons. While I found my calling elsewhere, Ben stuck with surgery and is now on his way to completing his training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology with a subspeciality interest in GynaeOncology. We sat down 4 years from when we first met and talked about the reliance on constants at home, intellectual freedom, how life resembles a sine wave, the imperfections of the world around us… while staying true to our shared mantra of finding meaning in the lows because the highs are not far behind. Or in his own words: “My name is Ben and I am from Buea; a small mountain side town in Cameroon, West/Central Africa. It could take you under 7 hours to walk the entire length of the town but perhaps 7 lifetimes to describe this town and what it means to me – It bears my baby steps and it was on its soils that I dreamed by my first dream and set forth to conquer the world in a journey which has led me to the Birmingham, UK so far. Buea fans out from foot of the majestic volcanic mount Fako; the home of the mythical “Epassa Moto”; the deity of the indigenous people of the town/village. Eternally edged in my memory are some of the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets as the mountain dances before of the sun but also, countless legendary tales about this mountain. Due to its gentle, refreshing and extremely conducive climate, both German and British colonial settlers established their capitals in Buea, the heart of the English speaking regions of Cameroon – The town is still littered with architectural remnants of British but mostly German colonisation in the form of administrative buildings and bridges dating from the 18th century. I never really left Buea for any protracted period of time as I completed every level of education there so I have no other real memories that compare with the nostalgia that haunts me almost daily now that I have left home. I had some of the best laughs and fondest memories in Buea and some of the greatest human connections I ever made started and are very much left in Buea. I think about my life as I often do, about the journey so far but I also think about what the future may look like; I think about my own child, and the fact that for them Buea will be someplace else and the fact that one thing we may never be able to share is Buea or be linked to it in the same – To them, home will be someplace else but for me, home will always be Buea; my level playing field, a place free of prejudice and self-doubt.” Ben is also one of the founders and current CEO of HERO Cameroon – a non-profit organisation that seeks to increase public health awareness by supporting and conducting non-partisan health and product research, capacity building, project evaluation and informational activities.

À 10 jours de la CAN qui se tiendra au Cameroun, l'aspect sécuritaire suscite des interrogations, notamment dans la zone anglophone en proie à des violences séparatistes. Malgré la menace, les professionnels et les fans de football se préparent à profiter de cette compétition. Reportage avec des unités militaires chargées d'assurer la sécurité dans les villes de Buea et Limbe, qui vont respectivement accueillir des entraînements et plusieurs matchs du groupe F.

Bonjour a tous, aujourd'hui dans AFRIQUECameroun / Crise anglophone : une attaque à la bombe fait plusieurs blessés à BueaLes séparatistes qui ont revendiqué l'attaque, mettent en garde les organisateurs de la CAN 2022.Plusieurs personnes ont été blessées, dimanche soir, dans une attaque à la bombe dans la ville de Buea, chef-lieu de la région anglophone du Sud-Ouest, a indiqué à l'Agence Anadolu le préfet du département du Fako, Emmanuel Ledoux Engamba.« Alors que les populations passaient un moment de distraction dans une foire, des terroristes séparatistes ont déclenché un engin explosif qui a fait plusieurs blessés », a-t-il souligné ajoutant que l'attentat n'a pas fait de morts.D'après des sources policières, le terroriste ne portait vraisemblablement pas de « ceinture d'explosifs », mais « plutôt une bombe artisanale ».« C'est une tragédie », a déclaré Atem Francis qui était présent à cette foire.« Nous avons cru que le autorités avaient éradiqué le terrorisme à Buea. Cette nouvelle attaque nous a laissé une psychose surtout à la veille de la Coupe d'Afrique des Nations (CAN)», a-t-il poursuivi.Plusieurs ambulances et d'importants renforts des forces de sécurité sont arrivés sur les lieux du drame, et le secteur a été bouclé.Malheureusement personne n'a été interpellé dans des conditions mouvementées où les gens couraient dans tous les sens.L'attaque a été revendiqué par un groupe armé du mouvement séparatiste, "The Buea ghost fighters" (Les combattants invisibles de Buea).Dans une vidéo postée dimanche soir sur les réseaux sociaux, le groupe séparatiste affirme qu'aucun événement ne doit être organisé dans la zone en conflit. Il a par ailleurs envoyé une mise en garde aux organisateurs de la CAN qui aura lieu au Cameroun dès le 9 janvier prochain.Lors de la conférence des gouverneurs, organisée la semaine dernière à Yaoundé, le ministre de l'Administration territoriale, Paul Atanga Nji, a rassuré les Camerounais ainsi que tous ceux qui voudraient se rendre au Cameroun pour la CAN que toutes les mesures sécuritaires ont été prises pour sécuriser les populations et leurs biens lors des fêtes de fin d'année ainsi que pendant les différentes rencontres de la CAN.Merci beaucoup, tout le monde.Merci à tous. likez, Commentez, partagez bye bye ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon---------------------------------------------------#facebook #instagram #amour #couple #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktok #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #garden #fromthebayou #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing #bhfyp

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The archbishop of Vaduz, Liechtenstein, announced this week that his archdiocese won't take part in the Synod on Synodality, saying that it would run “the risk of becoming ideological.” Vaduz is one of the smallest archdioceses in the world, with fewer than 40,000 Catholics. The archbishop said his archdiocese is small enough that, quote, “All those who wish to do so can enter into dialogue with one another, listen to one another, and maintain personal communication about suggestions, wishes, and ideas in everyday Church life.” The Synod on Synodality is a two-year, worldwide consultative process that Pope Francis launched this month, and in which all dioceses in the world have been asked to participate. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/249340/catholic-leader-says-his-archdiocese-won-t-take-part-in-synodal-process-citing-ideological-risk Pope Francis has shared a letter written by a clerical sexual abuse survivor with candidates preparing for the Catholic priesthood. The anonymous abuse victim wrote that she was sharing her story because she would like to see “loving truth” win out. The letter reads, in part, “God has called you to be his instrument among men. You have a GREAT RESPONSIBILITY! A responsibility that is not a burden, but a GIFT! Please treat it according to the example of Jesus... with HUMILITY and LOVE!” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/249339/pope-francis-wants-seminarians-to-read-this-letter-from-a-clerical-abuse-survivor A Kansas City-area Baptist megachurch has reached a $150,000 settlement with the county over coronavirus restrictions. Abundant Life Baptist Church filed a lawsuit against Jackson County, Missouri over a year ago, arguing that the county's coronavirus restrictions treated places of worship more harshly than secular institutions such as retail stores. Since the lawsuit was filed, several Supreme Court decisions related to coronavirus restrictions on worship have been handed down that make it likely that the church would have won the case. Under the terms of the settlement, Jackson County vowed that in exchange for the church dropping the lawsuit, it would ensure that future enforcement measures would not impose stricter requirements on religious organizations than their secular counterparts. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/249350/missouri-christian-church-wins-settlement-over-coronavirus-restrictions-on-worship The Bishop of Buea, Cameroon, has condemned both the Thursday shooting death of a five-year-old girl at a police checkpoint in the city, and the lynching death of the officer responsible. The girl was shot to death when the driver of the car in which she was travelling to school refused to stop at a police checkpoint. A crowd soon gathered at the site, capturing the officer and beating him to death. The Cameroonian bishop urged prayers for the dead. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/249349/bishop-in-cameroon-shocked-by-shooting-death-of-young-girl-lynching-of-policeman Today, the Church honors Saint Ursula and the Virgins of Cologne, who fled England during the fourth century Saxon invasion and were martyred on the European continent. Saint Ursula is the patroness of Catholic education, especially the education of girls; Cologne Germany, educators, holy death, schoolchildren, students, and teachers. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-ursula-and-the-virgins-of-cologne-27

Africa is a continent rich with diverse cultures and over 2,000 languages spoken by various ethnic groups. Exploring these dynamics is exciting, but also presents unique challenges for organizations seeking to localize their products, content, and services for African countries. An Accra-based LSP called Bolingo Consult has been working on a Localization Africa project with the goal of generating African country guides that can be used as a point of entry into the continent. So far, guides have been developed for Ghana, Benin, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon. Today, we will explore the vision behind this country-by-country research from Bolingo Consult and throw light on the key features of the guides. Joining us to do so is our guest, Ady Namaran Coulibaly. Ms. Coulibaly is a language professional and holds a Master of Arts in Conference Interpreting from the Advanced School of Translators and Interpreters (ASTI) in Buea, Cameroon. Having provided interpretation and translation services for top businesses and organizations across Africa, including working with the African Union Commission, Ady co-founded Bolingo Communications and Media Consult, a fast-growing LSP based in Ghana and the power behind the African Localization Guides. She’s down-to-earth and committed to continuous learning and personal development. Lately, her favourite hobby has been hosting Africa’s LSP Podcast, which I personally subscribe to on Spotify, though I’m sure it is available elsewhere. About Nimdzi Live: There is a shadow industry driving the growth of ALL global brands: Localization. Let’s talk globalization, localization, translation, interpretation, language, and culture, with an emphasis on how it affects your business, whether you have a scrappy start-up or are working in a top global brand.

"When are you getting married? When are you having a baby?".....etc. Do any of these words sound familiar to you? Truth is that if you grew up in an African household, you most likely heard at least one of those words thrown at you. Somehow, we seem to have created this social timeline that has been instituted as a crucial part of being successful as an African. It feels like a degree, marriage, children, etc at an appointed time should be our ultimate goal and highest achievement in life. We tend to forget the essence of purpose and fulfillment, however that may come across to us, should be our ultimate goal in life.  Today, we will be challenging these superficial ideologies that put so much societal pressure on us Africans. We will defy such a doctrine that has pushed so many Africans to make horrible decisions because they are trying to fit into the status quo and please their loved ones and the community at large. I will be having a somewhat remote fireside chat with two of my very good friends -  Dr. Judwin Ndzo and Dr. Clarisse Wuttidma.  Dr. Judwin Ndzo is a Pediatric Registrar in East Midlands North, currently based in QMC Nottingham, England. Shortly after graduating with her MD degree, she worked at Solidarity Clinic in Buea, Cameroon, where she developed a passion for managing children. Her interest in nutrition led her to her job with MSF Swiss (Doctors without Borders) and later the French Red Cross in Garoua-boulaï, Eastern Cameroon where she worked in a refugee camp for almost 2 years, looking after malnourished kids. Following this, she won a Chevening Scholarship to study a Masters in Public Health (Nutrition pathway) at the University of Southampton, UK. That same year, she sat the Plab exams and obtained a license to practice in the UK, obtained a job as a pediatric junior doctor, then got into pediatric residency the following year.  She is keen to help other young Cameroonians/Africans pursue their career goals. When not working, she somehow manages to find time traveling, working out, hiking, cooking, socializing, and hanging out with friends! Dr. Clarisse Wuttidma was born in Cameroon and moved to the UK in 2006 right after high school. She studied economics and finance at Brunel University London. Upon completing her Ph.D. in Economics and Finance, she started working as an economics and market researcher. She currently works as a rail business consultant for a global company, actively working on the decarbonization of the rail industry and privatization of France's Rail industry. She has a great interest in economics and environmental sustainability, educating, encouraging, and helping others attain their goals as much as she can. She loves spending time with friends and family, especially her nieces and nephews. She loves cooking, baking, and entertaining guests. [00:01 – 03:37] Opening Segment Introduction [03:37 – 18:27] Sharing Personal Experiences with The African Timeline Get to know the guests The timeline pressure from family Pressure from friends and work colleagues The Aunties who will be on your case Host, Anyoh talks about how the Community has made careless talking a norm [18:27 – 35:30] The Insensitivity in Our Community & Pressure on Men The gossip culture in our community Take into consideration people's personal struggles Guests share their thoughts on the social pressure men face The common outlook on marriage in our African Community We need to stop comparing our lives to other people's life. [35:30 – 46:58] Changing the Norm Being open-minded Being cautious about what we say Trusting your process and believing in your journey Being authentic to ourselves. Living your life and not someone's life. Tweetable Quotes: “Our community has painted a picture that says being married and having children is the ultimate goal of life. But there is soo much more to life than marriage and kids.” – Anyoh Fombad “In the end, it is somebody's life, and what they choose to do with it. If they get married, fine. If they don't get married, that's fine also. Don't go around pressuring people to take these decisions.” – Dr. Judwin Ndzo "Life is short and life is not a straight line. Live every day with purpose and only make decisions when you're ready." – Dr. Judwin Ndzo “It's wrong for us to think the qualification for men to get married is a house and car. What if they lose their job, the car, and the house? We have to change that mindset.” – Dr. Clarisse Wuttidma "Stay away from the noise and pressure so it doesn't lead you into making regrettable decisions." – Dr. Clarisse Wuttidma "There is so much careless talk in our community. People say hurtful words to you, they laugh over it and tell you they were joking. We can do better." – Anyoh Fombad LEAVE A REVIEW and tell us what you think about the episode so we can continue putting out the best content just for you!

Making the decision to pursue residency in the United States can indeed seem daunting and challenging, especially if you are not used to the US medical and educational system. Though it is true that it takes quite a bit of adjusting, IMGs like Dr. Isabelle Mulango are here to tell you that it is possible! Dr. Mulango was born in Cameroon and completed her medical degree at the University of Buea, Cameroon, in 2014. She worked for a few years in Cameroon before deciding to apply for residency in the US with the goal specialty of Internal Medicine, which she achieved in 2020. When asked to share her match story, Dr. Mulango outlined the following challenges she faced and how she overcame them: Her application timeline was not clear - it's important to do your research and have a clear timeline from the get-go. Exam scheduling is important since any delays in the receipt of your results can affect your entire application process. She did not dedicate enough time to preparing for the exams - when preparing for USMLE exams, more than a pass is required of you. The higher your grades are, the higher your chances are of being regarded as a favorable applicant. At the same time, you should not let your scores define you, since your application comprises several other parts. At first, she did not have a defined strategy - To remedy this, Dr. Mulango made use of tools such as the IMGRoadmap course for guidance on her journey. Thus, she was able to plan more appropriately and tailor her application package adequately. Throughout the entire process from medical school to landing residency, Dr. Mulango has maintained a positive outlook and attitude. To inspire IMGs to do the same, she dropped the following gems of advice: Problems are meant to be solved, the world is not against you. Be humble! Do not be afraid to seek out help and support. A strong support system is essential. When applying for residency, be flexible regardless of your passion. The main goal is to take care of human life in whichever way possible. Medicine is like an apprenticeship - you are always learning. Listen to the senior people in your field and take their advice. You can reach out to Dr. Mulango to learn more about her story or seek advice via Instagram @drsunshinelabelle and through her email: mulangoi04@gmail.com.

Le 24 octobre 2020, sept enfants de 9 à 12 ans sont froidement et sauvagement assassinés dans leur salle de classe par des bandes armées. Quelques jours plus tard, le 4 novembre, un autre groupe d’hommes armés oblige des enseignants et des enfants à se déshabiller entièrement avant de prendre des photos et des vidéos qui sont par la suite largement diffusés sur les réseaux sociaux. Des professeurs décapités, la tête exposée dans la ville de Bamenda, des femmes violées... C’est le climat apocalyptique qui règne dans la partie anglophone du Cameroun. Comment mettre un terme à cette escalade de violences, à ce conflit barbare qui a déjà fait plus de 3 000 victimes, et suscité plus de 500 000 déplacés ? Plus d’un an après, le grand dialogue national qui était censé apporter des réponses à cette crise, quel est le bilan ? Avec nos invités : - Grégoire Owona, ministre du Travail et de la Sécurité Sociale depuis décembre 2011. Secrétaire Général Adjoint du comité central du RDPC. - Elie Smith, journaliste et secrétaire général de la Anglophone General Conference (initiative interreligieuse rassemblant des leaders anglophones presbytériens, musulmans (avec imams de Buea et de Bamenda), et catholiques (cardinal Tumi), dirigée par Tumi et qui se propose de donner la parole à différentes sensibilités anglophones et de regrouper les principales revendications afin de contribuer au dialogue national. - Boh Herbert, porte-parole du mouvement pour la restauration de l’indépendance du Southern Cameroons (MORISC), ancien journaliste exilé aux États-Unis. - Simon Munzu, ancien sous-secrétaire général des Nations unies et représentant spécial adjoint du secrétaire général en Côte d’Ivoire. Il est l’un des promoteurs de la Anglophone General Conference. Acteur de la société civile, il défend depuis une trentaine d’années le retour au fédéralisme.

Homily by Msgr Andrew Nkea at the funeral of Msgr Pius Awah. Buea, 24 February 2014

Lisen är där det händer i Kamerun, Hanna är på ett tåg till New Jersey. Podden om Afrika får en exklusiv direktrapport från Buea i Kameruns engelskspråkiga område, där militären är ständigt närvarande. Vi funderar också över migration och bostadspriser - och vet du varför alla vill vara i Djiboutis hamn?

Nach fast zwei Jahren, in denen ich hier in Kamerun lebe, bekam ich zum ersten mal Einblick, wie es in den Krankenhäusern hier in Kamerun aussieht. Soviel schon mal vorweg, bei weitem nicht so wie bei uns in Österreich oder Deutschland. Was ich in der Episode vergessen hab zu erwähnen... In der Nacht kamen ein paar Mäuse auf Besuch ins Krankenzimmer :D +++++++ Du willst in diese wunderbare Welt eintauchen und zu uns nach Buea, Kamerun kommen?

Father Edwin, from the diocese of Buea, Cameroon, delivers the mission appeal and homily for The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

The various Anglophone groups in north west and south west need to come together and talk, setting aside their differences over self-declared independence, federalism or self-determination, according to a leading Anglophone lawyer. Nkongho Felix Agbor Balla, who spent 8 months in prison for organising Anglophone protests, has told Spotlight on Africa that infighting between the differing groups needs to stop. The crisis in Anglophone regions has worsened over recent months with allegations of Cameroonian security ransacking towns and villages, while armed separatist groups have continued to carry out reprisal attacks. Some groups support independence and in October 2017 declared Ambazonia as a breakaway state. Spotlight on Africa spoke to Agbor Balla, president of the Fako Lawyers Association and vice president for the central Africa region at the African Bar Association… What's the latest on the jailed Anglophone leaders? Those who were transferred from Nigeria. The latest is that there's no latest in the sense that we don't have any information. Nobody has seen them, nobody has spoken to them - their lawyers and family, nobody that I know. I've been there with a couple of lawyers twice and we were not allowed to see them. Besides from those transferred from Nigeria, do you know how many Anglophones in total are currently in custody? There are close to 1,000 that are in custody between 2 maximum prisons in Yaoundé – Kondengui principale, where I spent 8 months, and there is Kondengui centrale where Mancho Bibixy, Penn Terence and the others are. There are also some detained at the Sed [Secrétaire d'Etat à la Défense], the gendarmerie headquarters, in Yaoundé. Some are also supposed to be at the judicial police at Elig Essono. Then there are close to 409 at the central prison in Buea, others in Bamenda and scattered all over the country. These are those that we can identify. Some of them have already been convicted – Penn Terence was given 12 years, others had 11, Mancho Bibixy and Tsi Conrad were found guilty on terrorism, secession and group rebellion. So the matter has been adjourned until 8th [May] for the sentencing. Why do you think you were released from jail last year? To be sincere and honest with you, we don't really know. I don't know what was the reason that they used in deciding to release myself, Dr [Neba] Fontem, Justice [Paul] Ayah and 51 others. Do you support the violence carried out by some separatist groups? They say they're defending the people against crimes carried out by the Cameroonian security forces. It's a very tricky one. I believe in self-defence, I believe in the right for people to protect themselves, protect their people. I think it's a fundamental right – the right to self-defence. But I don't agree when you go beyond self-defence when you start doing things that are outside of the law. That's what I have a problem with. I also think the whole thing about self-defence stems from the fact that most of the people I've spoken to believe in an armed struggle. Their argument is that, the government arrests people and because they cannot protect themselves, they just kidnap some of them, take them to Yaoundé, and try them - so they're trying to protect the people. So it's a tricky balance between self-defence and committing offences also. The violence is quite close to home for you, in fact your family house in Mamfé was attacked. How did this make you feel? I felt a bit sad and a bit disappointed because I believe that for most of my adulthood I have, in one way or another, contributed or fought for our people. I've been involved - the struggle did not start in 2016, it's just that I came to the limelight in the struggle in 2016. But I have been in the struggle from the days of the All Anglophone Conference when I was a young boy. So for me to then go to jail, my dad was buried in my absence, then to see what happened, but it's not the majority of the people. So what's why I don't get dejected because I still believe that in any struggle you have people who disagree with you. You have people who don't think like you. But I caution violence and I'm urging all the groupings that we can still disagree without being disagreeable. If we have a common goal, to fight to protect the self-determination of our people, we need to understand that not everybody will think alike. You talked about diverging views there. The Anglophone movement has somewhat splintered into a number of different groups. Is it important to reconcile this? It's very important for us. It's true that it's not easy to speak with one voice. But I think it's very important for us as a people to try as much as possible not to be seen, the perception, that we're fighting each other. There are times when the leaders, the other groupings and their followers, they spend a lot of time criticising and attacking each other. Rather than focusing on the target, which is the self-determination of the people. If I had my way I would advise, I would urge, I would organise with the other leaders, let them sit down and have an Anglophone leadership forum. Where the leaders can sit and dialogue and try to agree on the things that all of them have a common interest in. Was the self-declaration of Ambazonia a bad idea? The time that it was done, I think it was precipitated, enough groundwork had not been done for the declaration. But I wasn't involved so perhaps they had more information, perhaps they had information that I didn't have. You're saying it was a bad idea? No. I would not say it was a bad or a good idea because I don't have the facts that they have. I don't know the background to which they decided to declare independence. But the situation on the ground – declaring independence – does it change anything? How can we effectively, if you have independence, how can you effectively protect it? How can you effectively live as an independent state? What are the recognitions you have from other states? So it's not just about the declaration of independence. What role have France and the UK played since the start of the crisis? I think they're doing behind-the-scenes diplomacy. I met a couple of diplomats, officially and unofficially, from both the French and the British. I personally think that they could do a lot, they could do more. They could engage, not only engage in government, but engage with both parties to try to see and find a solution. How we can get a truce from what is going on. Also to address the problems that the Anglophones have been raising. It's very important for us to look at these problems and try to find a long-lasting solution. The British and the French they should know better because this problem, in a way they're connected to the problem, in a way they're responsible for what is happening. So they cannot just claim that it's an independent state, we cannot intervene. When do you want to intervene? Do you want to intervene when there's a peacekeeping mission? I don't think it's proper. Yes they're doing something, which I appreciate, but I think that they can do more. I urge them to engage the government, to engage the other groupings also in trying to see how we can find a solution. Because the current situation on the ground, it's not helpful for anybody, it's not helpful for the country, it's not helpful for the citizens. So the earlier we find a solution where we can live in peace and harmony as we used to live prior to the uprising. Genuine peace, genuine justice, genuine harmony, not the situation where one group of persons feel they're second class. In a society that there is equality, that there is fairness for each and every one, no matter what part of the country you come from. I think it will be better. Can change for Anglophones come about through the ballot box do you think? With the forthcoming elections? There are diverging schools of thought. Some believe that an election could help the situation. It's difficult to defeat the current leadership because of everything they have, they created the constitutional council, everything, they have the money, they have the resources. The elections can never be free and fair. Electioneering is an entire process, not just voting. It starts with the entire process, from registration, access to media, campaign financing, everything, not just the voting. I don't think that they will be able to defeat the current head of state. I wish that there was a possibility that those who were vying for the highest office could come together and have a veritable candidate. So that they can give the ruling party a run for its money. But when you talk to most of them you don't have the feeling that they would come together. So the elections for you are irrelevant? I think they won't help the situation. Going for an election when a part of the country is having this kind of armed conflict - because it's a war in the south west and north west regions - I don't think it's the best solution. I think we should try and see how we can find a solution, address these issues, because elections won't solve the problem. This problem has been created by the current government, I don't think it has the ability and the capacity to solve the problem. So him [President Paul Biya] being in power – this problem will not be solved. I think the problem will be solved when he leaves power.

The various Anglophone groups in north west and south west need to come together and talk, setting aside their differences over self-declared independence, federalism or self-determination, according to a leading Anglophone lawyer. Nkongho Felix Agbor Balla, who spent 8 months in prison for organising Anglophone protests, has told Spotlight on Africa that infighting between the differing groups needs to stop. The crisis in Anglophone regions has worsened over recent months with allegations of Cameroonian security ransacking towns and villages, while armed separatist groups have continued to carry out reprisal attacks. Some groups support independence and in October 2017 declared Ambazonia as a breakaway state. Spotlight on Africa spoke to Agbor Balla, president of the Fako Lawyers Association and vice president for the central Africa region at the African Bar Association… What’s the latest on the jailed Anglophone leaders? Those who were transferred from Nigeria. The latest is that there’s no latest in the sense that we don’t have any information. Nobody has seen them, nobody has spoken to them - their lawyers and family, nobody that I know. I’ve been there with a couple of lawyers twice and we were not allowed to see them. Besides from those transferred from Nigeria, do you know how many Anglophones in total are currently in custody? There are close to 1,000 that are in custody between 2 maximum prisons in Yaoundé – Kondengui principale, where I spent 8 months, and there is Kondengui centrale where Mancho Bibixy, Penn Terence and the others are. There are also some detained at the Sed [Secrétaire d'Etat à la Défense], the gendarmerie headquarters, in Yaoundé. Some are also supposed to be at the judicial police at Elig Essono. Then there are close to 409 at the central prison in Buea, others in Bamenda and scattered all over the country. These are those that we can identify. Some of them have already been convicted – Penn Terence was given 12 years, others had 11, Mancho Bibixy and Tsi Conrad were found guilty on terrorism, secession and group rebellion. So the matter has been adjourned until 8th [May] for the sentencing. Why do you think you were released from jail last year? To be sincere and honest with you, we don’t really know. I don’t know what was the reason that they used in deciding to release myself, Dr [Neba] Fontem, Justice [Paul] Ayah and 51 others. Do you support the violence carried out by some separatist groups? They say they’re defending the people against crimes carried out by the Cameroonian security forces. It's a very tricky one. I believe in self-defence, I believe in the right for people to protect themselves, protect their people. I think it's a fundamental right – the right to self-defence. But I don’t agree when you go beyond self-defence when you start doing things that are outside of the law. That’s what I have a problem with. I also think the whole thing about self-defence stems from the fact that most of the people I’ve spoken to believe in an armed struggle. Their argument is that, the government arrests people and because they cannot protect themselves, they just kidnap some of them, take them to Yaoundé, and try them - so they’re trying to protect the people. So it's a tricky balance between self-defence and committing offences also. The violence is quite close to home for you, in fact your family house in Mamfé was attacked. How did this make you feel?

Vor ein paar Tagen erzählte mir eine Mutter aus der Nachbarschaft, hier in Buea, Kamerun, was ihr Sohn sagte, als sie ihn fragte, warum er ständig bei uns im Happy Kids Hangout ist. Seine Antwort "Wenn du zu den Happy Kids gehst, machen dich Uncle Martin und Auntie Marie glücklich." Mich freut es sehr, dass er sich bei uns wohlfühlt und das er glücklich ist. In dieser Episode möchte ich darauf eingehen, sind es wirklich andere Menschen oder auch Dinge die uns glücklich machen? +++++++++++ www.HappyKidsPodcast.comwww.facebook.com/HappyKidsWorld

Ex Konvict Musik’s Senior Vice President of A&R, Fotemah Mba a.k.a “T’mah”, is the living proof that America truly is the land of opportunity. Although he has always dreamed big, as an immigrant, he never imagined doing any other thing, rather than executing the vision he has for Africa with his organization JUMP Africa. Fotemah Mba recently traveled to Cameroon around a handful of the regions and did a fantastic humanitarian job with his organization, Jump Africa. Although Fotemah’s story begins in Cameroon, West Africa, the book of his life and travels is much thicker than that. The son of a distinguished educator and diplomat he spent most of his young life traveling the world. Fotemah was exposed to the cultures of such places as Algeria, Belgium & the United States; for this reason is a fluent speaker of four different languages. Even as a youngster he had an ear for music and was energized by the diverse sounds made known to him through his travels. Fotemah Mba, is the living proof that America truly can be the land of opportunity if you are willing to work hard. Although he has always dreamed big, he never imagined he’d be working alongside the top artists in the world and conducting business amongst the music industry’s most prominent executives. Former VP/Current consultant for Akon’s Konlive Label, the young West African Native still has yet to reach the peak of his career. Fotemah has formed a new venture; Red Republic Ent, to which he is looking and signing new talent, Including talent from Cameroon. The entertainment business is close to his heart but what’s even closer is giving back. Fotemah recently founded JUMP(Join Us Making Progress) Africa; a non-governmental organization who’s objective is to facilitate education in the lives of young children, and to instill in youths a spirit of leadership. He works alongside Books for Africa (the largest donor of books to the African continent) with whom he ships books and school supplies to Africa. Like every other venture, this one has been challenging as well. Fotemah has been dealing with raising funds for the NGO, transporting the books from the US to the different African countries in question, paying taxes and customs duties to claim the books from the port, and then transporting the books to the various schools and institutes of education.To date, he has shipped over 250,000 books to schools in four African countries; Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana and Uganda, and is on track to send a million books, to support 500 learning centers all across Africa. Near Future projects include: supporting the “Word Alive Orphanage” in Ghana, supporting the “Treasure Center” in Bamenda, Cameroon (in which JUMP Africa recently did some Volunteer work) ,providing an updated library for “The Sound of silence school” (School for the Deaf in Buea; Cameroon), supporting the “Bulu blind center”(school for the blind in Buea; Cameroon) with Brail books, laptops and recorders. In a world run by social media, Fotemah Mba gives us a true perspective of an industry executive that goes beyond the glitz and glamour. You can join him in this journey of making progress in Africa by donating to the cause by visiting www.jumpafrica.org
