LET VOLKER FINKER CONTINUE TO LEAD THE LIONS-BY Stéphane Mbia

The Volker Finke contract as the head of the Cameroon team comes to an end. For his captain Stephane Mbia, but the coach must stay in office. Midfielder ensures that the German is best able to lead the Indomitable Lions to the African Cup of Nations in 2017.

RFI: Stéphane Mbia, the contract of coach of the Cameroon team comes to an end. Would you like Volker Finke continues to lead the Indomitable Lions in qualifying for the 2017 African Cup of Nations?

Stéphane Mbia: For me, it is obvious. After the failure of the World Cup, Cameroon embarked on a reconstruction plan. It went through a change of mentality and the renewal of the workforce to 95%. I totally agree with the idea that he continues with this group it is creating.

We must remember that we lost one game during the CAN 2015 against Côte d'Ivoire, the tournament winner. For me it is obvious that it continues.

Volker Finke is the man for the job for you?

Very much so. I repeat. One game we lost this season. Against Côte d'Ivoire, in that game, at that time, there was a lack of experience. Many young people were discovering the CAN. It was not obvious.

I think that by 2017, young players have gained enough experience to be assertive in the next CAN.

Other players they argue Volker Finke?

Yes, absolutely, 200%.

Volker Finke seems to be very unpopular in Cameroon. Is this is a problem, the unpopularity?

(He hesitates) You know, there are not many coaches who have an excellent relationship with the Cameroonian press. There is a particular context in Cameroon. The press reflects the enthusiasm of Cameroon for the national team. It is not always obvious.

The fans also seem to have a bad opinion of Volker Finke. Is it not too difficult to take such situation?

It's a bit difficult. As I said, the press reflects the passion of the fans. They expect results. In the past, we had excellent. They want the same thing.

We saw this craze in the playoffs (CAN 2015). The fans were disappointed that we did not continue on this path there. [...]

What do you think of the Cameroon group qualifying for the CAN 2017, with South Africa, Mauritania and Gambia?

It's a difficult group. The level of most African teams increased again. For me, it will be hard ...

So you stand to be the captain to guide these young players at the next CAN?

(Laughs) I'm a relay between the manager and my teammates. I think the most important is to look good on the ground.

Forests at War: The Global North's Ambition vs. The Global South's Fight for Survival! Reflection on Forest Governance.

Some reflections on Forest Governance, by Kisife F Jude Forests are not just the lungs of the earth, they have become battlegrounds where the interest of the Global North clash with the survival instincts of the Global South. Let's explore more…..  Zittau Community Forest, Saxony East Germany  Forest governance is a concept that stirs up significant debate, especially when considering its application and impact in the Global North compared to the Global South.  On one hand, the principle of forest governance with its emphasis on sustainable management, conservation, and the equitable use of forest resources seems universally beneficial. It champions the idea that forests are critical not just for the environment but for the livelihoods and cultural heritage of many communities.                          Fieldwork However, the implementation and priorities of forest governance often starkly diverge between the Global North and South, revealing underlying inequalities and conflicting
