Le « grand dialogue national » s’achève ce vendredi 4 octobre au Cameroun

avec la cérémonie de clôture officielle. Il préconise notamment la décentralisation et prévoit un statut spécial aux deux régions anglophones, écartant de fait le fédéralisme demandé par plusieurs personnalités anglophones.

Ces assises ont été convoquées par le chef de l'État pour ramener la paix dans les deux régions anglophones du Sud-Ouest et du Nord-Ouest. Les rapports des 8 commissions ont été adoptés en séance plénière jeudi.

« La commission formule les recommandations suivantes, susceptibles d’apporter des réponses à la crise dans les régions du Nord-Ouest et du Sud-Ouest. » À la tribune, le rapporteur de la commission sur la décentralisation a annoncé neuf propositions de résolutions.

« L’octroi d’un statut spécial aux régions du Nord-Ouest et du Sud-Ouest, la suppression du statut de délégué du gouvernement nommé prévu dans la cadre du régime spécial applicable à certaines agglomérations. »

La tutelle de l’État sera allégée de manière substantielle. Quant à la question du transfert des ressources aux collectivités locales, la commission propose une fourchette de 10 à 15% des recettes de l’État.

Autre recommandation : « Les participants ont insisté sur la nécessité de l’établissement d’une feuille de route, d’un chronogramme et d’un organe de suivi de la mise en œuvre des recommandations. »

Ces résolutions n’impliquent aucune modification de la Constitution. La décentralisation est déjà inscrite dans la Constitution de 1996 mais elle n’avait jamais été réellement mise en œuvre.

Le « grand dialogue » se prononce également pour la création d’une commission « Vérité, Justice et Réconciliation », le renforcement de l’anglais dans les administrations et les services publics et l’introduction de la double nationalité pour la diaspora. L’ensemble des résolutions seront soumises à l’appréciation du chef de l’État.

Il est évident qu’à la fin de ce dialogue, il y aura le calme et la sérénité dans les deux régions. Déjà, la situation est sous contrôle mais je crois que ce sera une meilleure situation encore après le dialogue. Je reste optimiste que cet engouement amènera les Camerounais à comprendre qu’il est inutile de prendre les armes contre son pays.

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 ...
