Since it is literally impossible to mention all those who assisted me in writing this book, I wish to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude to all those who contributed in the writing of the book, particularly those mentioned here My first gratitude goes to those who gave me the intellectual guidance right from the conception of the theme to the final write-up of this book. Besides provision of guidance, these academics in fact laid the foundation that has facilitated my rise in the higher education core of Cameroon. Indeed, even before completion of the work, I had already started achieving upward mobility due to the fruits of the work. The research leading to this would have been difficult without the grant from The Netherlands Foundation for the Advancement of Tropical Research (WOTRO). It was thanks to WOTRO’s four-year grant that saw me successfully carry out the work. I must thank this foundation for its continuous support to research in Africa. It is also a great pleasure for me to point out that Lenie Schoenmakers and her husband Piet have come to occupy a special place in my life. They did not only play the role of parents to me in The Netherlands but also extended it to my family back home. They made Posterholt a place of weekend relaxation for me. In Posterholt, Lenie very much knew my favorite dishes, which were usually combined with rabbit, red cabbage, egg and bubbled water which she made sure she provided to me. My little son, Piet, will always be a reminder of the bond that exists between the two families. I am immeasurably indebted to the African Studies Centre, Leiden, which provided vital support every time that I was in the Netherlands. The Centre provided office space, access to all its facilities and supplemented the living grant from WOTRO. It was during the period of a visiting fellowship offered me by the Centre in July and August 2006, that part of the book was written. I wish to extend my special thanks to all members of the Culture, Politics and Inequality (CPI) theme group of the Center who made valuable contributions to my research in a seminar, which I presented on the research proposal leading to this book. Their insightful criticisms and suggestions subsequently got incorporated into the book. I am also indebted to members of staff of the Centre for making me feel at home during my stay in The Netherlands. I am in this regard particularly grateful to Professor Jan Abbink, Professor Leo de Haan (director) Dr Stephen Ellis, Dr vii Dick Foeken, Dr Gerti Hesseling, Marieke van Winden, Maaike Westra, Joop Nijssen, Karl Dorrepaal, Gitty Petit, Dr Ineke van Kessel, Dr Klaas van Walraven, Julie Ndaya, Professor Wim van Binsbergen, Dr Rijk van Dijk (my senior researcher on Pentecostalism from who I learnt a lot), Dr Han van Dijk, Dr Mirjam de Bruijn, Ann Reeves, Dr Sabine Luning, Karin Nijenhuis, Lucien and Willem who made sure my Laptop was always in good condition for me to carry out the task even out of the office. I wish to thank Kiky van Til, my office mate during my first stay in The Netherlands who made sure that I had coffee or tea to brave the scourging winter cold. The ‘drops’ and general information on living in The Netherlands, which she offered me were indeed helpful. The entire staff of the Centre’s library is not left out for their assistance in guiding me through the library, ordering books which I needed but were not available in the library and in making several gifts of books that have swelled my library in Cameroon. I want to thank also prof. Birgit Meyer (now at the Free University, Amsterdam) for her very stimulating interest in my work. I equally wish to acknowledge the cooperation of members of the Research School of Asian, African and Amerindian Studies (CNWS) of Leiden University, especially Ilona Beumer for making the Dutch translation of the summary. I should like to express my gratitude to the University of Buea authorities for granting me study leave to do the Ph.D in The Netherlands. I wish to acknowledge the financial assistance they gave me as part of the University’s staff development initiative. I will in particular, thank the former Vice Chancellor Professor Cornelius Lambi (my Dean at the time I had to go out) and the incumbent, Professor Vincent Titanji (at the time Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of teaching) for the role they played in always advising me to do the Ph.D and in making it easy for my study leave application file to move fast despite some initial obstacles. Indeed, I must make reference to the entire teaching and administrative staff of the Faculty of Social and Management Sciences for their collaboration. However, all the efforts would have been in vain but for the trustful cooperation of many of my informants from the various Pentecostal churches. I refer in these regards to Reverend Paul Ewome of Full Gospel Mission. Reverend Ewome was an extremely open and fatherly person who offered whatever information I needed. I approached him anytime and anywhere whenever I needed his assistance and there was never a time he was not willing to talk with me. My close relationship with him enhanced the cooperation I received from members of this church in Buea. I will also wish to appreciate the assistance of Dr Pius Oben elder of the Molyko Assembly of Full Gospel Mission. He was instrumental in enabling me to obtain an authorization to carry out research on Full Gospel Mission from the headquarters of the church in Douala.

  • Ash Park on Tobacco & Transformation
    Ash Park on Tobacco & Transformation Tobacco is a controversial industry, and our performance in recent years has felt the negative effects of selling driven at least in part by the rising popularity of ESG investing. We think engagement delivers far better long-term outcomes for all stakeholders compared to divestment, hence our participation in consultations for the Tobacco Transformation Index and regular dialogue with a wide variety of industry and public health protagonists. For the second time in our careers, Tobacco valuations have been driven to extreme and illogical levels: credit markets will lend at 40 years for less than 4%, but the equity is so lowly-rated that a number of companies could buy themselves back in 8-9 years. In reality, the financial attractions of the Tobacco business model haven’t been impaired; we have written to the boards of our Tobacco holdings to highlight the ‘self-help’ opportunity and very considerable value they could create via share repurchases – if necessary by rebasing the dividend payout ratio, at least temporarily. We have equally high conviction that the industry, by accelerating the consumer shift into tobacco and nicotine products which are far less dangerous than cigarettes, can contribute to enormous public health gains in the next 10-20 years. The Ash Park proposition Global Staples have never lost money in any 5yr period • Concentrated portfolio of high-quality consumer franchises 40% • Attractive long-term returns with lower downside risk 35% 30% • Managed by experts in the Consumer industry 25% • Team co-invested with over 90% of their available assets 20% 15% 10% What Ash Park stands for 5% 1.

    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.

  • Le "Problème Anglophone" Au Cameroun Dans Les Années 1990
    P. KONINGS Le U problème anglophone 11 au Cameroun dans les années I990 EPUIS peu, le (( problsme anglophone )) est devenu un pro- blème crucial pour 1’Etat camerounais postcolonial soucieux D de forger un Etat-nation stabilisé. Ce problème remonte à 1961 quand les élites politiques de deux territoires avec des legs coloniaux différents - l’un françai: et l’autre britannique - sont tombés d’accord pour former un Etat fédéral. Contrairement aux attentes des anglophones, le fédéralisme n’a pas permis une parité stricte pour ce qui concerne leur héri- tage culturel et ce qu’ils considèrent coinme leur identité d’anglo- phone. I1 s’est révélé n’être qu’une phase tran$toire de l’intégra- tion totale de la région anglophone dans un Etat unitaire forte- ment centralisé. Cette situation a graduellement favorisé une prise de conscience anglophone fondée sur le s5ntiment d‘être (( margi- nalisé D, (( exploité D et (( assimilé )> par un Etat dominé par les fran- cophones. Avec le processus de libéralisation politique des années 1990, une partie de l’élite anglophone s’organise pour protester contre sa prétendue position subordonnée et demande: une plus grande autonomie en réclamant d’abord le retour à 1’Etat fédéral et en adoptant ensuite des positions sécessionnistes devant le refus du régime de discuter d’une réforme constitutionnelle. Elle a par ailleurs essayé d’obtenir une reconnaissance internationale en se présentant comme une minorité opprimée dont le territoire a été (( annexé D. En réponse à ce défi, le gouvernement de M. Biya a minimisé, voire nié le (( problème anglophone n.

  • L'institutionnalisation De L'opposition: Une Réalité Objective En Quête De
    2 L’institutionnalisation de l’opposition: Une réalité objective en quête de consistance Léopold Donfack Sokeng La notion d’opposition semble relever du domaine des évidences, des vérités acquises de la théorie constitutionnelle, sur lesquelles nul n’est besoin de s’at- tarder, comme si l’opposition allait de soi et ne méritait pas le détour d’une conceptualisation. L’une des rares entreprises à relever à ce propos est sans doute celle esquissée par Hauriou et Gicquel (1984) dans leur manuel de droit constitutionnel et institutions politiques Gicquel (1993). Pour ces auteurs en effet, l’opposition serait la résultante du «tropisme institutionnel» que consti- tue la reconnaissance et l’organisation de la contestation politique, élément caractéristique des sociétés occidentales. « Alors qu’ailleurs (…) on trouve des systèmes politiques dans lesquels le pouvoir s’efforce de comprimer la contes- tation et, à la limite de l’annihiler, souligne Gicquel, certaines cités de la Grèce antique (Athènes principalement) expérimentent des institutions dans lesquelles non seulement le pouvoir accepte la contestation, mais s’attache à l’utiliser pour le fonctionnement même des mécanismes politiques, quitte à en évacuer par des procédures adéquates, les surplus. « Après la démocratie grecque et la république romaine, la Grande Breta- gne d’abord, au sortir du Moyen Age, puis l’Europe et les États-Unis du siècle des Lumières, retrouvent l’invention méditerranéenne et organisent des régi- mes politiques qui, compte tenu des différences tenant à l’étendue géographi- que ou au perfectionnement des moyens de communication, acceptent et pro- tègent par-là même eux aussi la contestation et l’utilisent pour leur fonctionne- ment même » (Gicquel 1993:22-23).

In preparing the OFR, we have sought to take into account, where considered appropriate, the best practice set out in the UK Accounting Standards Board’s ‘Reporting Statement: Operating and Financial Review’. We have responded to the spirit of the OFR by offering shareholders a balanced and comprehensive analysis of our current business and describing the significant industry trends that are likely to influence our future prospects. For the first time, we have published our Key Performance Indicators, some other important Business Measures and the Group’s Key Risk Factors. We have also attempted to avoid having too much information in one publication. Our corporate website bat.com has a wealth of material about the Group and, in May 2007, we plan to publish our latest Social Report, detailing progress during 2006 on a range of commitments and actions. We will carefully consider the structure and content of our future reporting in the light of developments in the field and the advice and comments we receive about this publication. The full content of this combined Report is under this flap. Leave it open as a reference to find your way to the different topics covered. Cautionary Statement: the Operating and Financial Review and certain other sections of this document contain forward looking statements which are subject to risk factors associated with, among other things, the economic and business circumstances occurring from time to time in the countries and markets in which the Group operates.

    FALL 2015 FALL THE ANDREWS UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE MAGAZINE THE ANDREWS UNIVERSITY inside: 2015 Alumni Homecoming Weekend | #aulivewholly | Annual Report 2015 Vol 51 No 4 » from the President’s desk in focus FThe AndrewsOCUS University Magazine Editor Patricia Spangler (BS ’04) [email protected] | 269-471-3315 Higher education: troublemaker Contributing Editors Tami Condon (BS ’91, MA ’13) or change agent? Becky St. Clair Designer Niels-Erik Andreasen Matt Hamel (AT ’05) President Photographers Daniel Duffis (current student) American higher education is delivered by 4,000–6,000 (depending on how one counts) diverse, Tanya Ebenezer (current student) Darren Heslop (BFA ’10) expensive and at times unruly institutions! Adventist higher education is provided by 114 Andriy Kharkovyy (BBA ’06, MBA ’09) institutions, 14 of them in North America. They are more “orderly,” but even so from time to time Sarah Lee (BT ’02) both church members and leaders raise their eyebrows at our colleges. What has become of our Heidi Ramirez (current student) David Sherwin (BFA ’82) traditional, family-style campuses of yesteryear, and why do our sweet Sabbath School children Brian Tagalog (current student) grow up and go to college, they wonder! Well perhaps it is precisely those diverse, inefficient and at times unruly institutions that make college education so dynamic and effective. Think of the recent student demonstrations in the universities of Missouri, Yale and elsewhere—a bit messy perhaps, but they received national attention and things are changing. I admit some of this campus activity can be disconcerting and is not a really effective way of running a university, but it does draw attention to critical issues, raise important questions, propose solutions, and help make education a change agent in our society and also in our church.
