Christian Cardinal Tumi

Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh has expressed his gratitude to Christian Cardinal Tumi for his service not just to Cameroon, but mankind in general. 

Dr. Christipher Fomunyoh 

Dr Christopher reviews Christian cardinal Tumi latest book: My Faith: A Cameroon to be renewed. By Christian Cardinal Tumi, Editions Veritas; 304 pages; $30.

In this book review, he says the following: To understand and enjoy this latest book by Christian Cardinal Tumi, you have to know the man (or of him) and his style – his simple, straightforward and frank style, and his willingness to speak out and to call things as they are. It is a style uncommon in a society where many prefer to be silent in the face of such evil, oppression and even material deprivation of their fellow compatriots. Some do not speak out because they have made their peace with the unholy ones and prefer the easy path of going along as if blind to the ills that plague our society and that have crippled an otherwise thriving nation that still has to build.

Cameroon First Lady concerns about the future

Democracy in Cameroon is falling behind despite several attempts from NGOs and other international organisations in trying to find and prescribe systematic solutions. Despite the world becoming increasingly an interdependent system, Cameroon seem to have set itself apart by being dogmatic in its electoral system. In this new era of globalisation, it is no doubt that, actions taken in one country has repercussions on the other side of the globe, therefore if some aspects of democracy are not integrated properly; pursuing national interests will often be restricted by international agreements; hence further deepening countries like Cameroon into economic and social difficulties.

Just to illustrate the case of democracy, lets use China; When we talk about China, although it is not a Western democracy, China has nevertheless provided a mechanism which alternates. Therefore, since the accession of Paul Biya in 1982, the Middle Kingdom has had five presidents and is preparing to host its 6th. What does it tell us?

Stop the war against civilians in Congo

Congolese Civilians once again under rebel attack. Civilians of Goma were forced to flee their homes as gun shots and bombs are thrown in the city as a sign from the rebels that they are taking over the Democratic Republic of Congo. The M23 revolt began as a mutiny by soldiers against low pay.

Rebels' spokesman Colonel Vianney Kazarama spoke to a crowd at a stadium in Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo yesterday. The M23 rebels said they planned to take control of the entire DRC after they captured Goma on Tuesday while UN peacekeepers looked on. The UN Security Council has demanded that the rebels withdraw from Goma and disband.

Kazarama however promised a peaceful future by saying the following; "Our plan is to secure the people and their property," he told The Daily Telegraph, flanked by youthful insurgents carrying Kalashnikov assault rifles. "Today, the population can sleep well. Last night, we had a quiet night. We ask the people to come back to their homes because now it is peaceful." Any rebel guilty of theft, murder or rape would be punished, he promised.

Last night, however, a final report by UN experts charged with investigating the rebels made clear that neighbouring Rwanda was primarily responsible for commanding and supporting the M23 movement. Roger Meece, the UN's envoy to Congo, told the Security Council yesterday that the rebels had been carrying out "targeted summary executions" of their opponents during their advance.

Migration affects welfare

According to the World Bank topic at a glance, migration of people across international borders affects economic growth and social welfare in both sending and receiving countries. More than 200 million people now live outside their country of birth.

What makes people move? Strong pressures such as the differences in demographics and real incomes between countries.

Why is there inequality so much that people have to move anyway? if you want to solve the issue in the receiving country why not solve those in the sending countries? If not stop mourning about it and let people keep migrating for a better life! after all the jobs they are willing to across border are the jobs the indigens are not willing to do1 so hope is that affecting economic growth and social welfare in the recieving countries?

Up to $406 billion of remittance will go developing countries this year

Remittance flows to the developing world are expected to exceed earlier estimates and total $406 billion this year, this is an increase of 6.5 percent over the previous year, according to a new World Bank brief on global migration and remittances.

In this same press release, remittances to developing countries are projected to grow by 7.9 percent in 2013, 10.1 percent in 2014 and 10.7 percent in 2015 to reach $534 billion in 2015.

Despite the growth in remittance flows overall to developing countries, it is no doubt that the continuing global economic crisis is dampening remittance flows to some regions, with Europe and Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa especially affected, while South Asia and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are expected to fare much better than previously estimated
