NW Peace Caravan: Akwa Patrick Sets The Pace In Menchum Division

By Martial Gnoukapasi


Peace has never been the absence of war but in a war or conflict situation peace will always provide room for people to reason. Talking to some persons from menchum division in the conflict stricken North West region of Cameroon, most shared the opinion that no country especially in Africa has ever resolve any internal conflict using guns and other weapons of war. It's their wish that, even if the peace caravan which constitutes the  peacebuilding mechanism of the state, coming weeks after the major national dialogue, does not resolve the crisis, it should at least appeal to the consciences of those antagonising any idea adopted towards a return to normalcy in the two restive regions of the country to understand that only in a calm and Serene atmosphere can we resolve this crisis.


After the regional launch Nov 18th by Christian Cardinal Tumi, head of the program in the North West, those delegated to the different divisions have begin work already.
In menchum division Akwa Patrick is head of the the peace mission in menchum division. Flanked by Hon. Wallang Richard, mayor Dighabong Anthony and other stakeholders of the administration, the delegation under heavy security successfully launched the peace process in Wum  Central division, where they met with some commuters in ikom, zongefu, aguli, waindo and wanagwen and shared the peace message with them. Strategies have also been put in place to ensure the other villages like Bafmen, Weh, Zhoa, Kumfutu, Kpep, Frubana, Lobo, Nkang, Befang, Okoromanjang, Benakuma, Baworo and others in Fungom, Furu awa and menchum valley sub divisions, receive the peace message in all tranquility.

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 funct

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

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
