National Dialogue: Opinion leaders buy the President’s peace offer through National Dialogue

Bruno Ndonwie Funwie

Opinion leaders in Cameroon are all agreed that the path to peace is only through a National Dialogue.

Most of them, political leaders and persons of authority state that, making a diagnoses of the problem and proposing solutions around the same table is the most credible way of restoring peace.

Christian Cardinal Tumi, one of the most outspoken on the ongoing crisis says it is a laudable initiative on the part of the president.

Cardinal Christian Tumi

“Paul Biya has announced the national dialogue, I am happy. We have always called for a national meeting to solve the problems of the North West and South West regions.”

To skeptics, the man of God stated,

“Let’s give dialogue a chance. We must go to this dialogue with intellectual honesty and no one has the monopoly of seeking the solution to current crisis. We must all love our country.”

Joshua Osih SDF Vice President

Joshua Osih Vice President of the Social Democratic Front party holds that dialogue is in line with what the SDF party has always proposed.

“It’s been a couple of years that the SDF has been waiting for a dialogue to be called by the powers that be. Now that the dialogue has been called, we are waiting to see what it looks like, see what is on the table and see what is has to offer. We are ready to give all our good assistance to make sure that this situation in the North West and South West is brought back to normal.”

Cabral Libii

Cabral Libii, President of the Cameroon Party for National Reconciliation reacted positively to President Biya’s announcement of a Grand National Dialogue without exclusion.

“We are hoping that the Prime Minister will hint us very soon on the exact date of the dialogue, we are waiting for the naming of representatives of the actors who will participate in this debate. At the Cameroon Party for National Reconciliation, we will give our proposals whether we are invited or not.”

Garga Haman Adji

The President of the Alliance for Democracy and Development party Garga Haman Adji is equally upbeat.

He thinks the National Dialogue called by the Head of State will help reshape the socio-political and economic outlook of the country.

Cameroon’s political class remains hopeful. Most of its members state that, if the National Dialogue holds and resolutions well implemented, three years of untold hardship witnessed in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon could be something of the past.

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room. Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore. To most ordinary Cameroonians, his remarks after the close to two hours high-level talks with long-serving President Paul Biya, were great. To others, (especially those in government), they were a threat to what government had given a pat on its back for a fast-track of the decentralization process with a Special Status for the North Wes...

WUM COUNCIL: SDO VISITS HOLIDAY WORKERS.

For the past two months, the Wum Municipality has been a bee hive as many youths on holidays have been engaged by the Wum Council, to dig, clean and decorate the municipality with ornamental trees and flowers, this to the satisfaction of the population who always come out in their numbers to encourage these children. The recruitment of these children, though a corporate social responsibility of the Wum Council, has been made possible thanks to the workaholic Mayor and his team. In one of such busy day of work, the Senior Divisional Officer of Menchum Division, Mr. Abdoullahi Aliou, paid a surprised visit to the children and encouraged them in their endeavour. You have been the lucky few to have been chosen to work and earn some money to help your parents send you back to school. Make sure that dream comes true. Do not in anyway disappoint the Council and the entire population who trusted you to have this job. Be good citizens and true patriots. Thank you for assisting the council ...
