NEWS ALERT

Press and Associates, NDEFCAM Radio.

Senegal just held a presidential election, and on Tuesday, April 2, a younger 44-year-old president, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, was installed in replacement of a much older incumbent Macky Sall. From its first president, Leopold Sedar Senghor, to current president Faye, Senegal has somehow managed to hold together its democratic credentials among French speaking African countries. In matters of democracy, the country has been a beacon of hope, but there have also been some disturbing trends for the country and by extension for the continent.
So, on Saturday, April 6, this week, Press and Associates, NDEFCAM Radio, Bamenda, talks to Dr Goddy Gham, a historian and specialist in international affairs.
First, we ask Dr. Gham, what sense he makes of the peaceful transfer of power in the Senegal election, especially in the context of the youthful energy of civil society protests and the violent government crackdown that preceded it.
Next, we ask him how this youthful civilian energy in Senegal that forced through a generational change in government relates to other recent generational changes in governments through coup d'etats by young military officers in Niger, Burkina Faso and Gabon. Is this trend likely to continue, or will it fizzle out?
Moreover, as former French colonies, the young leaders aren't shy about their rapprochement towards Russia, so we ask our guest about the kind of geopolitical realignment taking place in the region and the consequences of the obvious involvement of major world powers.
Riding to power on the high waves of current anti-French sentiments in Africa, the new leaders in their promises have not disappointed populist expectations, reason why we ask Dr. Gham to read for our listeners any signposts of genuine hope for the continent or indications that we are once again witnessing another false dawn.
Finally, we look at how this Senegalese election, the peaceful transfer of power, especially from the incumbent to an opposition party, speaks to Cameroon and the rest of the Central African sub region

Join our guest and studio panelists, along with our panelists-at-large- Randy Joe Sa'ah in Yaounde, Elvis Fah in Douala, Benjamin Ngah and Ngwa Awanto in the U.S at 7am (Cameroon) to discuss this and other newsworthy stories, only on NDEFCAM Radio.

NDEFCAM PERSPECTIVE.

"Watch What You Drink And Where You Buy."

The recent revelation of fake palm wine production in Yaounde, as in other towns and villages in the country serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive risks lurking within the beverage industry, prompting a critical reflection on the importance of vigilance when it comes to choosing what we drink and where we source our beverages. The discovery that unscrupulous individuals are concocting artificial palm wine using a mixture of water, cassava, ethanol, yeast, and other harmful chemicals not only raises serious health concerns but also underscores the insidious nature of counterfeit alcohol production.

Beyond the production of fake palm wine, it is distressing to acknowledge that a wide array of popular alcoholic beverages, including beer, table wine, whiskies, and canned drinks, are now vulnerable to adulteration by profit-driven individuals who prioritize monetary gain over public health and safety. This reprehensible practice threatens the well-being of communities and highlights the urgent need for robust regulatory measures to combat the proliferation of counterfeit drinks.

In response to this alarming trend, state authorities must take decisive action to eradicate clandestine operations and enforce stringent regulations that ensure beverages are supplied and sold exclusively by accredited dealers. Safeguarding the public against the dangers posed by fake alcoholic drinks, which often mimic authentic products while concealing harmful substances, should be a top priority to prevent widespread health hazards and protect consumer rights.

As consumers, it is incumbent upon us to exercise caution and discernment in our beverage choices to mitigate the risks associated with counterfeit drinks. By adhering to simple, yet crucial guidelines such as avoiding suspicious sources, verifying proper labeling, exercising skepticism towards unusually low prices, scrutinizing packaging for inconsistencies, trusting our senses to detect unusual odors or tastes, reporting any suspected counterfeits to relevant authorities, and opting for reputable brands with established credibility, we can fortify our defenses against the perils of fake alcoholic drinks.

The repercussions of consuming counterfeit beverages extend far beyond immediate health risks, encompassing potential poisoning, allergic reactions, and long-term health complications that can have lasting consequences on individual well-being and community welfare. Therefore, it is incumbent upon each of us to prioritize our safety and that of our communities by remaining vigilant, informed, and proactive in our efforts to combat the menace of counterfeit drinks. Let us heed this cautionary tale as a call to action, uniting our commitment to upholding standards of integrity, transparency, and consumer protection within the beverage industry for the benefit of all. Affair a suivre!

Eradicating corruption at checkpoints.

The issue of corruption within the police force at various checkpoints in Cameroon is a significant problem that has been widely acknowledged by the public and further highlighted by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (CONAC). The recent directive from the Delegate General For National Security, Mbarga Nguele Martin, calling on regional and divisional heads for national security to address and eradicate these corrupt practices is a step in the right direction. However, the effectiveness of these measures and the likelihood of eradicating corruption in this sector remains uncertain.

The visible evidence of police officers collecting money from drivers at checkpoints without conducting proper checks is a clear indication of the pervasive nature of corruption within the police force. This behavior not only undermines the rule of law but also erodes public trust in law enforcement in Cameroon. The fact that such practices persist despite public outcry and official directives underscores the deep-rooted nature of the problem.

The million-dollar question remains: Will corruption in the police force at checkpoints ever come to an end? Addressing corruption requires a multi-faceted approach that includes not only punitive measures but also systemic reforms, training, and oversight mechanisms. It is essential to ensure that anti-corruption measures are effectively implemented, monitored, and enforced at all levels of the police force.

Furthermore, fostering a culture of integrity, accountability, and transparency within law enforcement agencies is crucial to combating corruption. This includes promoting ethical behavior, providing adequate training on anti-corruption measures, and establishing mechanisms for reporting and addressing corrupt practices.

While the recent directive from the delegate general for national security is a positive step towards addressing corruption at checkpoints, the success of efforts to combat corruption within the police force will depend on the commitment of leadership at all levels, the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms, and the willingness of law enforcement officers to adhere to ethical standards and uphold the rule of law. While the directive issued by the delegate general for national security is a step in the right direction, the long-term sustainability of anti-corruption efforts within the police force remains a significant challenge. Whether corruption in this sector will come to an end is indeed a critical question that will require ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and action to address effectively. Affair a suivre.

FIRE RAVAGES BAMENDA MAIN MARKET.

The devastating fire that swept through the Bamenda main market on February 22, 2024 has brought to light deep-seated issues surrounding urban planning, governance, and public safety in the city. As I reflect on the tragedy and its implications, it becomes clear that the root cause of the disaster lies in a combination of neglect, mismanagement, and a lack of foresight on the part of municipal authorities.

The scene of the market entrance blocked by containers and kiosks, parking spaces converted into makeshift selling areas, fire lanes obstructed, and water sources inaccessible due to encroachments by informal businesses paints a grim picture of a city where short-term gains and revenue generation take precedence over essential city planning considerations. This blatant disregard for basic safety protocols and urban infrastructure standards has left the market vulnerable and ill-prepared to handle emergencies such as the recent fire.

The inability of the Army Rescue Unit to effectively respond to the blaze due to restricted access points and blocked pathways underscores the critical importance of maintaining clear and unobstructed emergency routes in public spaces. The sight of bystanders helplessly watching as the flames engulfed the market serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of the city council's administrative negligence and the high cost of prioritizing financial interests over public welfare.

The lack of vision and strategic planning on the part of city authorities in Bamenda is a cause for concern and demands immediate attention from the supervisory bodies and oversight bodies like the Divisional Officer for Bamenda 11 Sub Division, the Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam and the Governor of the North West Region. It is imperative that those in positions of power are held accountable for their actions and decisions, and that comprehensive measures are put in place to ensure the safety, security, and well-being of the city's residents.

To address the systemic issues that have led to the current state of affairs in Bamenda, a paradigm shift is needed in the approach to urban governance and city management. Instead of focusing solely on revenue generation and short-term gains, city authorities must prioritize long-term sustainable development, infrastructure maintenance, and emergency preparedness.

By fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and public participation, city officials can work collaboratively with the community to address the challenges facing Bamenda and pave the way for a brighter and more resilient future. It is only through a concerted effort to set aside personal agendas and prioritize the common good that Bamenda can truly thrive and fulfill its potential as a vibrant and prosperous city. Affair a suivre.

Journalists in "Tight Corner in Cameroon."

Reporting from conflict-hit zones is a daunting task, especially for journalists in regions like the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon where violence and tensions run high. These brave individuals face numerous challenges in carrying out their duties as journalists, with risks to their lives and freedoms looming at every turn.

The journalists in these regions encounter a myriad of obstacles in their reporting efforts. They often face threats of violence from both the state and armed groups, making it difficult to operate impartially and without fear. The constant danger of being targeted for their work creates a chilling effect on freedom of the press, leading to self-censorship and limited coverage of critical issues.

Moreover, the state of Cameroon and armed fighters seem to overlook or even actively suppress the role of the media in resolving the armed conflict. Instead of recognizing the importance of transparent and unbiased reporting in promoting dialogue and understanding, journalists are met with hostility and aggression. The high number of journalists imprisoned or killed in Cameroon is a stark reminder of the risks associated with seeking and disseminating the truth in such volatile environments.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, countries like Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Cameroon stand out as the worst jailers of journalists, reflecting a broader trend of press crackdowns in the region. Despite international calls for greater press freedom and respect for human rights, the situation for journalists in these countries remains dire.

The dilemma faced by journalists in conflict zones is profound. On one hand, they are expected to fulfill their duty to inform the public and hold power to account, even in the face of extreme danger. On the other hand, they must navigate a treacherous landscape where their lives and livelihoods are constantly at risk.

Amid such adversity, what can journalists do? They must continue to uphold the principles of ethical journalism, seek out the truth, and shine a light on the untold stories of conflict and suffering. They must also advocate for their safety and press freedom, both locally and on the international stage.

The plight of journalists in conflict-hit zones serves as a sobering reminder of the crucial role they play in democracy and peacebuilding. Their sacrifices and struggles should not go unnoticed or unaddressed. As we look to the future, we must support and protect journalists in their vital mission to inform, educate, and empower communities affected by conflict. What the hell should journalists do? "Affair a suivre."

Whatever you do today, don't sink anyone's boat. The ocean is wide enough for all of us to sail comfortably.

As I gaze upon the vast expanse of the ocean, its boundless blue stretching out to the horizon, I am reminded of the wisdom in the simple yet profound advice: "Whatever you do today, don't sink anyone's boat." The ocean, symbolizing life itself, is indeed wide enough for all of us to sail comfortably.

In a world where selfishness and greed often drive individuals to commit unspeakable acts of violence, it is crucial to remember the value of human life and the sanctity of peace. The current situation in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon serves as a stark reminder of the darkness that has consumed us as we lose sight of our shared humanity.

People are killing each other for political gains, land ownership, power, and status. The insatiable thirst for dominance and control leads to a cycle of violence that only perpetuates suffering and despair. It is a tragic commentary on the state of our community when human life is devalued in pursuit of fleeting and selfish ambitions.

Death, that inevitable and impartial force, comes for us all in the end. In the face of this stark reality, we must strive to live our lives with compassion, empathy, and a sense of shared responsibility towards one another. Life is too short to be consumed by hatred, jealousy, and greed.

One of the greatest lessons we can learn in life is the art of remaining calm amidst chaos and turmoil. By distancing ourselves from those who seek to sow discord and division, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace and clarity that will guide us through life's storms.

Let us not be swayed by the false promises of power and prestige. Let us reject the toxic influence of self-centered politicians and other individuals who seek to divide us for their gain. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, a glimmer of hope that shines brightest in the darkest of times.

So, as we navigate the turbulent waters of life, let us remember to be kind, to be compassionate, and to be mindful of the impact of our actions on others. Let us choose love over hate, unity over division, and peace over conflict. Together, we can sail the vast ocean of life with grace and dignity, knowing that our shared humanity is the compass that will guide us home

Ndefcam Perspective

IS CAMEROON A HAPPY NATION?

It is difficult to quantify the exact percentage of happiness among Cameroonians compared to other nations, as happiness is a complex and subjective concept that varies from person to person. However, Cameroon faces significant challenges in terms of overall happiness and well-being. According to the World Happiness Report, which ranks countries based on various factors including GDP per capita, social support, life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity, and perceptions of corruption, Cameroon has consistently ranked relatively low in recent years. Cameroon is ranked 96th in 2023
As I observe the current state of affairs in Cameroon, it becomes evident that determining the precise percentage of happiness among its people is no easy feat. The nation finds itself grappling with a crisis that has left its citizens in a state of uncertainty and unrest. While some individuals belonging to positions of power and affluence may indeed be content and satisfied with their circumstances, a significant minority, particularly those residing in the North West and South West regions, are burdened with a profound sense of unhappiness.

The reasons behind this prevailing discontent are multifaceted. Economic factors play a pivotal role in shaping the overall happiness levels of Cameroonians. A significant portion of the population faces the harsh realities of poverty and limited growth opportunities. The lack of infrastructure, exorbitant customs clearance fees on imported goods, high taxes, and, many other forms of extortions exacerbate their plight, as the absence of necessities and services further deepens their discontent. Additionally, the issue of harassment, particularly in the aforementioned regions, adds an extra layer of distress, eroding the happiness of those affected.

However, it is crucial to acknowledge that happiness is a subjective experience that can be influenced by a myriad of factors. Amidst the challenges and hardships faced by many Cameroonians, there are still individuals who manage to find moments of joy and contentment. These individuals may take solace in their familial relationships, personal achievements, or other sources of fulfillment that transcend the tumultuous circumstances surrounding them.

It is essential to recognize that the impact of the crisis varies significantly across different segments of the population. Factors such as socio-economic status, geographic location, and personal circumstances all contribute to the diverse range of experiences people have within Cameroon. Consequently, quantifying the overall percentage of happiness becomes an exceedingly complex task, one that cannot be accurately measured or reduced to a single numerical value.

The ongoing crisis in the North West and South West regions, characterized by tensions between the government and separatist groups, has further strained the happiness levels of the affected population. The violence, displacement, and disruption of daily life have taken a toll on the well-being of individuals and communities in these regions.

Efforts must now be made to address these issues and improve the overall happiness of Cameroonians. The government and all stakeholders should work hard now to alleviate poverty, promote economic development, and provide better access to basic services and infrastructure. Above all, Dialogue and reconciliation initiatives are also necessary now to resolve the conflicts and restore a sense of peace and stability.

In conclusion, while some individuals in Cameroon may find happiness despite the challenges they face, the nation as a whole struggles with a lower level of happiness compared to many other countries. The complex interplay of economic, social, and political factors contributes to this situation, and concerted efforts are needed to uplift the well-being and happiness of all Cameroonians.
