[CAMEROON] 2017 Africa Cup of Nations: Cameroon takes on the Democratic Republic of Congo today

Cameroon will take on the Democratic Republic of Congo today in Mons, Belgium in a warm up encounter towards the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. The confrontation between the two countries will be the second in less than six months as both countries separated on a one-all tie in a friendly match in December in the build up to the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea. Both sides seem to be in good shape judging from their latest results.

The Leopards who have been in camp in Belgium since June 1st, walloped a local division five football club, 14-0 while the Indomitable Lions who have equally been in camp since June 1st in France, beat Burkina Faso 3-2 on Saturday in a friendly at the Yves du Manoir de Colombes stadium in the outskirts of Paris.

After the encounter, the Lions were given a day off to rest and resumed training the day after at the Leonard de Vinci playground; training twice a day in the morning an evening periods. The Lion’s squad which has been completed with the arrival of team captain, Stephane Mbia and Aurelien Chedjou, left France yesterday for Mons-Belgium for the friendly against the Democratic Republic of Congo today at 7 p.m.

However, attention is already focused on the match against Mauritania next Sunday in Yaounde, counting for the first day of play of the qualifiers for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations to take place in Gabon. The Lions are without their vice captain, Choupo Moting who is injured and will be out for three weeks. Choupo took advantage of his medical rest to get into wedlock in his native town of Hamburg in Germany.

The most striking feature of the Lions selected by Volker Finke is that most of the players called up are very young in the likes of Justin Mengolo, Christian Zock and Yaya Banana who were in the starting eleven in the friendly against Burkina Faso. There is also Félix Eboa, Dani Ndi, Alexandre Kombi, Karl and Toko Ekambi who came in as substitutes.

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.

[CAMEROON] Why all Anglophones are members of the Southern Cameroons National Council

Before and after the All Anglophone Lawyers’ Conference of 9th May 2015, claims and insinuations were linked to the real or imaginary interference of the Southern Cameroon National Council (SCNC) with the deliberations and outcome of the conference. As would be expected the conveners of the conference have gone at length to dissociate themselves from SCNC control as if the SCNC was a pariah organisation. SCNC is a product of the All Anglophone Conference (AAC) of 1993 and 1994 that brought together different shades of Anglophone opinion to be crystallized into a common vision. It was only after the Cameroon government failed to take on board proposals by the AAC that a new pressure group emerged like it is often the case in liberation theology to give visibility, potency and geo-political relevance and space to the Anglophone struggle. It is here that the SCNC was born. It was no more a liberation of a people as it was for a territory that freely opted for a Union in 1961 ...
