Cameroon PEOPLE Cameroon's estimated 250 ethnic groups form five large regional-cultural groups: western highlanders (or grassfielders), including the Bamileke, Bamoun, and many smaller entities in the northwest (est. 38% of population); coastal tropical forest peoples, including the Bassa, Douala, and many smaller entities in the Southwest (12%); southern tropical forest peoples, including the Ewondo, Bulu (subgroup of Beti), Fang (subgroup of Beti), Maka and Pygmies (officially called Bakas) (18%); predominantly Islamic peoples of the northern semi-arid regions (the Sahel) and central highlands, including the Fulani, also known as Peuhl in French (14%); and the "Kirdi", non-Islamic or recently Islamic peoples of the northern desert and central highlands (18%). The people concentrated in the southwest and northwest provincesaround Buea and Bamendause standard English and "pidgin," as well as their local languages. In the three northern provincesAdamaoua, north, and far northeither French or Fulfulde, the language of the Fulani, is widely spoken. Elsewhere, French is the principal second language, although pidgin and some local languages such as Ewondo, the dialect of a Beti clan from the Yaounde area, also are widely spoken. Although Yaounde is Cameroon's capital, Douala is the largest city, main seaport, and main industrial and commercial center.

Home Page Introduction AidCamp Outline Volunteer Projects ... Information Packs Cameroon is said to contain all of Africa in one country. Geographically it varies from tropical rain forest in the south to the arid savanna of the Sahel in the north. Ethnically the indigenous peoples range from pygmies to the colourfully shrouded Fulani. Despite this diversity Cameroon is a rarely visited country and so offers the chance to see a part of Africa unspoilt by large scale tourism.

The right to adequate food (Art. 11) and violations of this right in Cameroon Preface FIAN, the International Human Rights Organisation for the Right to Feed Oneself, would like to present a parallel report to the periodic report on Cameroon submitted by the Cameroonian Government (UN Doc. E/1990/5/Add.35.). Of the many questions concerning economic human rights in Cameroon FIAN, in cooperation with COSADER/COASAD, will concentrate on the right to freedom from hunger and the right to adequate food. Cameroon is a state party to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. In Art. 11 of the ICESCR, the States parties guarantee the right to freedom from hunger and the right to adequate food. More specifically, the right to adequate food derives from the following obligations of States elucidated in Article 11: Respect existing access to adequate food requires States parties not to take any measures that result in preventing this access. Protect requires measures to be taken by the State to ensure that enterprises or individuals do not deprive individuals of their access to adequate food. Fulfil , means that the States must pro-actively engage in activities intended to strengthen people’s access to and utilisation of resources and means to ensure their livelihood, including food security. Wherever an individual or group is unable, for reasons beyond their control, to enjoy the right to adequate food by the means at their disposal, States have the obligation to fulfil (provide) this right directly.

Economic organisations and local cultures: explorations into the cultural enbeddedness of local economic life Par Thierry G. Verhelst Alternatives beyond dominant economic thinking Economy is not to be reduced to capitalist logic Disembedded development programmes are destructive Peoples' reaction to globalization ... Bibliography 1. ALTERNATIVES BEYOND DOMINANT ECONOMIC THINKING 1.1 A world in search of meaning Never in history has there been as much wealth created on this planet than over the last 15 years. Yet the gap between rich and poor, far from decreasing, has been widening. The 1996 UNDP World Report on Human Development states that this is not only true at world level - the well known gap between North and South - but also in countries which enjoyed comfortable growth rates and in western countries with an old industrial background. In the USA, 15% of the citizens live below the poverty line. In Europe, there are no less than 25.000.000 unemployed, many of them young. In France, 2.000.000 people resort to food aid. James Speth, director general of UNDP warns that this system of increasing polarization is leading our planet to a situation which is not only unethical but "unhuman". Violence is threatening everywhere, as chairman of the IMF board of governors, Ph. Maystadt, said recently. We are watching the dawnfall of the wellfare state. Since the Reagan and Thatcher years. Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAP) and monetarist policies lead to frustration and anger. "Globalization is creating in our democracies an underclass of demoralized and empoverished citizens" observes former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich. Malnutrition and material poverty is spreading in some countries of the South or remains desparately stable in many others. Even where SAP do achieve positive results in terms of public debt and inflation rates, their social impact remain harmful.

(As money equivalents, cowries It was within this economic framework that the first great states of black Africa developed: Ghana (4th[?]-13th cent.), Mali (13th-15th cent.), the Songhai empire of Gao (15th-16th cent.), and the cities of Benin which appear to have reached their apogee in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The African upswing was to be brought brutally to a halt, directly and indirectly, by the transformations which were affecting Western Europe. First there was the development of the trade in slaves destined for the American colonies, the role of which in the accumulation of capital in Western Europe is well known. Africa's destiny as a 'commercial reserve for the hunting of people with black skins' was not finally sealed till the end of the sixteenth century. The Portuguese, who had sighted the coast during the fifteenth century, had at first wanted to procure gold and spices, and with this in view had penetrated the continent very early; even at the end of the sixteenth century, some adventurers still hoped to create another Brazil in Africa

Appendixes Internal security responsibilities are shared by the national police, the National Intelligence Service (DGRE), the gendarmerie, the Ministry of Territorial Administration, military intelligence, the army, and to a lesser extent, the Presidential Security Service. The police and the gendarmerie have dominant roles in enforcing internal security laws. The security forces, including the military forces, remain under the effective control of the President, the civilian Minister of Defense, and the civilian head of police. The security forces continued to commit numerous serious human rights abuses.

The blood of Huguenot martyrs has brought the freedom of faith. The blood that loves people and peace has existed vividly from Jeanna d'Arc. We give you special thanks, because the flowing of freedom, equality and charity has been originated and the democracy has prevailed worldwide through this country. And the age of human right, which means every human who resembles God's image is treated equally, has opened from here. Help them to succeed the faith of blood and the precious inheritance for good, so that they may be a torch of the human history. Lord, please be with France. May the righteous politics of God's justice be done in this country. Let their daily life be a peace festival without any discrimination including racism and religious distinction. In the midst of the fallen world, which respects matter and money and pursues power and authority, let them spread the pure hearts, simple lives and warm love throughout the world, just as Saint-Exupery's Little Prince did them with his starry eyes and pure spirit. And so, please lead all the humans to have the mind of Jesus Christ and to return to the kingodm of God. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Mission BINAM, an indigenous ministry dedicated to reaching the largely animistic peoples of western Cameroon, hopes to plant a church within each of the 129 Bamileke villages. They recently sent two of their leaders, Rev. Alain Bouwa and Harold Wafo, to participate in GMI’s Visiting Trainee program. In our offices, working side by side with GMI mission cartographers, they learned how to systematically map the whole Bamileke area, consisting of 14 different ethno-linguistic groups. They developed detailed maps showing the villages, principal towns, and language areas of western Cameroon. In addition, they created large wall maps displaying where they are working, and where the greatest spiritual needs are.
