    Honorary Co-Chairs The Most Reverend Desmond M. Tutu President Mohamed Nasheed November 28, 2016 URGENT APPEAL Mónica Pinto Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights United Nations Office at Geneva 8-14 Avenue de la Paix 1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland Re: Urgent Appeal Regarding Mohammed Shaikh Ould Mohammed Ould Mkhaitir Dear Ms. Pinto: We request urgent action from your office regarding the pending appeal of Mr. Mohammed Shaikh Ould Mohammed Ould Mkhaitir in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, where Mr. Mkhaitir is sentenced to execution for alleged crimes involving the exercise of his freedom of expression. Mr. Mkhaitir was initially convicted of hypocrisy and remains in prison for authoring a critique which challenged the social and religious underpinnings of modern-day slavery. Mr. Mkhaitir is currently awaiting a final verdict from the Supreme Court of Mauritania. Throughout the entirety of Mr. Mkhaitir’s proceedings, the independence and non-partiality of the courts have come into question and recent events have shown that the Mauritanian Supreme Court is under extreme pressure to uphold Mr. Mkhaitir’s death sentence. Mr. Mkhaitir’s appeal to the Mauritanian Supreme Court was heard on November 15, 2016. Two days prior, the Forum of Imams and Ulema issued a fatwa demanding that the death sentence be carried out: “Kill him and bury him in conformity with the law of God.” On the day of the appeal, thousands of people gathered outside the courthouse to demand Mr. Mkhaitir’s execution. Fearing for its own safety as well as the safety of the parties and counsel, the Supreme Court delayed the verdict and will reconvene on December 20, 2016.

  • Cameroon CAMEROON SUMMARY Cameroon Is a Bicameral Parliamentary Republic with Two Levels of Government, National and Local (Regions and Councils)
    COUNTRY PROFILE 2019 THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM IN cameroon CAMEROON SUMMARY Cameroon is a bicameral parliamentary republic with two levels of government, national and local (regions and councils). There is constitutional provision for local government, as well as for an intermediary higher territorial tier (regions), although this has yet to be implemented. The main laws governing local government are Law No. 2004/17 on the Orientation of Decentralization, Law No. 2004/18 on Rules Applicable to Councils, and Law No. 2004/19 on Rules Applicable to Regions. The Ministry of Decentralization and Local Government is responsible for government policy on territorial administration and local government. There are 374 local government councils, consisting of 360 municipal councils and 14 city councils. There are also 45 district sub-divisions within the cities. Local councils are empowered to levy taxes and charges including direct council taxes, cattle tax and licences. The most important mechanism for revenue-sharing is the Additional Council Taxes levy on national taxation, of which 70% goes to the councils. All councils have similar responsibilities and powers for service delivery with the exception of the sub-divisional councils, which have a modified set of powers. Council responsibility for service delivery includes utilities, town planning, health, social services and primary education. 1. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT Q Decree 1987/1366: City Council of Douala Cameroon is a unitary republic with a Q Law 2009/019 on the Local Fiscal System 10.1a bicameral parliament. The head of Q Law 2012/001 on the Electoral Code, state is the president, who is directly as amended by Law 2012/017.

    THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. PLEASE DO NOT CITE OR CIRCULATE WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHOR C'EST UN TRAVAIL EN COURS DE RÉALISATION. VEUILLEZ NE PAS CITER OU FAIRE CIRCULER SANS LA PERMISSION DE L'AUTEUR WRITING FROM THE MARGINS: POLITICAL MASCULINITIES AND SEPARATIST (AUTO) BIOGRAPHIES IN CAMEROON (ECRIRE DES MARGES: LES MASCULINITÉS POLITIQUES ET LES (AUTO) BIOGRAPHIES SÉPARATISTES AU CAMEROUN) Jacqueline-Bethel Tchouta Mougoué, Baylor University Anglophone human rights activist Albert Mukong described his six-year imprisonment from 1970 to 1976 in his 2009 biography, Prisoner without a Crime, in painstaking detail.1 He describes his prison gendarmes as lawless and bent on humiliation; he describes frequent beatings, intimidation, and mental torture. He shares that one brutal beating from a gendarme left him hospitalized for days because he had refused to embrace President Ahidjo’s political party.2 But before all this he describes the soldier who escorted him to the capital into the custody of the Brigade Mixte Mobile, Ahidjo’s paramilitary secret police of Cameroon, thus: “[H]e was very civil and respectable in his conduct, maybe because he was Anglophone and also from Bamenda. He comported himself rather more [as] a bodyguard than a police escort for a detainee.”3 Mukong’s autobiography cast issues of Anglophone political identity and dignity within the framework of ongoing Anglophone social and political marginalization during the first two decades of Cameroon’s independence from British and French European rule. Historicizing the lives of such men illuminates individual agency and highlights how past events shaped the ideas and understanding of the world in which they lived.

    Country Policy and Information Note Cameroon: Anglophones Version 1.0 March 2020 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: • A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm • The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules • The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules • A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) • A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory • A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and • If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • Journal 3.1 Osaghae
    74 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS INDEPENDENT CANDIDATURE AND THE ELECTORAL PROCESS IN AFRICA Churchill Ewumbue-Monono Dr Churchill Ewumbue-Monono is Minister-Counsellor in the Cameroon Embassy in Russia UI Povarskaya, 40, PO Box 136, International Post, Moscow, Russian Federation Tel: +290 65 49/2900063; Fax: +290 6116 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study reviews the participation of independent, non-partisan candidates in Africa. It examines the development of competitive elections on the continent between 1945 and 2005, a period which includes both decolonisation and democratic transition elections. It also focuses on the participation of independent candidates in these elections at both legislative and presidential levels. It further analyses the place of independent candidature in the continent’s future electoral processes. INTRODUCTION The concept of political independence, whether it refers to voters or to candidates, describes an individual’s non-attachment to and non-identification with a political party. Generally, voter-centred political independence takes the form of independent voters who, when registering to vote, do not declare their affiliation to a political party. There are also swing or floating voters, who vote independently for personalities or issues not for parties, and switch voters, who are registered voters with a history of crossing party lines. Furthermore, candidate-centred political independence may take the form of apolitical, independent, non-partisan candidates, as well as official and unofficial party candidates (Safire 1968, p 658). The recognition of political independence as a feature of the electoral process has led to the involvement of ‘independent personalities’ in managing election institutions. Examples are ‘independent judiciaries’, ‘independent electoral commissions’, and ‘independent election observers’.

  • The Anglophone Problem in Cameroon
    The Journal of Modern African Studies, , (), pp. –. Printed in the United Kingdom # Cambridge University Press The Anglophone Problem in Cameroon by PIET KONINGS and FRANCIS B. NYAMNJOH* Tpolitical agenda in Cameroon has become increasingly dominated by what is known as the ‘anglophone problem’, which poses a major challenge to the efforts of the post-colonial state to forge national unity and integration, and has led to the reintroduction of forceful arguments and actions in favour of ‘federalism’ or even ‘secession’. The root of this problem may be traced back to when the political e! lites of two territories with different colonial legacies – one French and the other British – agreed on the formation of a federal " state. Contrary to expectations, this did not provide for the equal partnership of both parties, let alone for the preservation of the cultural heritage and identity of each, but turned out to be merely a transitory phase to the total integration of the anglophone region into a strongly centralised, unitary state. Gradually, this created an anglophone consciousness: the feeling of being ‘marginalised’, ‘exploited’, and ‘assimilated’ by the francophone-dominated state, and even by the francophone population as a whole. It was not until the political liberalisation process in the early s that some members of the English-speaking e! lite started openly to protest against the supposed subordinate position of the anglophones and to lay claims for self-determination and autonomy. Whereas the most important organisations initially called for a return to the federal state, the persistent refusal of the Government headed by President Paul Biya to discuss any related constitutional reforms forced some to adopt a secessionist stand.

  • Anglophone Secessionist Movements in Cameroon
    ANGLOPHONE SECESSIONIST MOVEMENTS IN CAMEROON Piet Konings & Francis B. Nyamnjoh Introduction Secession has been rare in post-colonial Africa and has been strongly opposed by newly independent states and the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in an attempt to safeguard territorial integrity. Secessionist claims have, however, been on the rise since the end of the 1980s in the wake of political liberalisation in Africa. Eritrea’s independence in 1993, after several decades of a national war of liberation, is, significantly, the only example of a formal reorganisation of the continent’s political map. Of late, some Africanists have been trying to explain the reasons for Africa’s remarkable ‘secessionist deficit’ and to identify the various internal and external factors accounting for the failure or success of past and on-going secessionist claims on the continent (cf. Forest 2004; Englebert & Hummel 2005; Keller 2007). Curiously, in their critical review of African secessionist movements, they have failed to discuss Anglophone secessionist movements in Cameroon. This chapter tries to fill the lacuna. It will be argued that the deep roots of current Anglophone secessionist claims can be found in what has come to be called the ‘Anglophone Problem’, which is posing a major challenge to the post-colonial state’s efforts to forge national unity and integration. There is a widespread feeling in Anglophone Cameroon that reunification with Francophone Cameroon in 1961 has led to a growing marginalisation of the Anglophone minority in the post-colonial nation-state project that is controlled by the Francophone political elite and endangers Anglophone cultural heritage and identity.

  • Tajikistan's Cross-Border Human Rights Violations
    Briefing Paper: Tajikistan’s Cross-Border Human Rights Violations March 2019 I. Background The Republic of Tajikistan is located in Central Asia, bordered by Kyrgyzstan, China, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan. It is the smallest nation in the region and is covered by the Pamir Mountains; more than 50 percent of the country is over 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) above sea level. Shortly after declaring independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Tajikistan became engaged in a protracted and bloody civil war as the Soviet-era ruling elite vied for power with loosely aligned ethnic and regional opposition groups, which were eventually brought together under the banner of the United Tajik Opposition (UTO). Hostilities began in May 1992 and after a prolonged stalemate formally ceased in June 1997 when the belligerents signed a United Nations-brokered peace agreement. The agreement included a series of political compromises that recognized the UTO as a legitimate political party, allocated 30 percent of government positions to opposition parties, and included a general amnesty that terminated any pending criminal proceedings against combatants and provided that no new criminal cases would be opened. However, after five years of hostilities, Tajikistan was devastated. More than 50,000 people had been killed and one-tenth of the population fled Tajikistan.1 Since the war’s end, tensions persisted between the ruling government and opposition groups and periodic fighting still broke out. Although the Constitution of Tajikistan provides for a multi-party system, one man has ruled the country since November 1992—President Emomali Rahmon, the leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
