NOSO: comprendre le statut spécial

Cette recommandation formulée par la Commission Décentralisation et Développement local, à l’issue du Grand dialogue national, répond à la disposition de la Constitution du Cameroun en son article 62.
Un statut spécial pour les régions du Nord-Ouest et du Sud-Ouest en crise depuis trois ans. L’occasion du Grand dialogue national s’est voulue idoine pour adresser cette recommandation à l’appréciation du chef de l’État, préoccupé par le retour urgent de la paix dans ces deux parties du pays.


Contenu du statut spécial

D’après le Pr. Joseph Owona, professeur agrégé de Droit, il s’agit d’un « statut qui obéit aux règles générales des régimes de régions. Mais, un statut qui est également adapté aux spécificités typiquement anglo-saxonnes ». L’on peut citer par exemple, le sous-système éducatif anglo-saxon, la Common law, la création envisagée de Law School pour les anglophones qui n’auront plus besoin d’aller se former à l’étranger pour devenir avocat.
Article 62 de la Constitution
Selon cet article en son alinéa 1, « la loi peut tenir compte des spécificités de certaines régions dans leur organisation et leur fonctionnement ». En effet, cette disposition est le prolongement de l’article 61, alinéa 2. Celui-ci stipule que le Président de la République peut, en tant que de besoins :
– modifier les dénominations et les délimitations géographiques des Régions,
– attribuer une dénomination à une région.
Intégralité des articles de la Constitution sur les régions.

NORTH WEST PUBLIC INDEPENDENT CONCILIATOR

The PIC while addressing local masses in Wum Council area, Mr. Tamfu Fai, appealed to the government to create divisional representations.   In the Anglo-Saxon tradition, it is customary to set up independent authorities responsible for settling disputes between users and regional and council administration. In line with this logic, Law No.2019/24 of 24 December 2019 to institute the General Code of Regional and Local Authorities provides for an independent authority called the Public Independent Conciliator (PIC) in the North-West and South-West Regions. The office holder is by no means a legal authority or a judge, as the competences and powers entrusted to him are not of a legal nature. The PIC is responsible, inter alia, for amicably settling disputes between users and the regional and council administration, defending and protecting rights and freedoms with regard to the relationship between citizens and the region or the councils thereof, conducting any investigation on the f...

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...
