These regions of Cameroon have been restive since 2016 in what is popularly referred to as the Anglophone crisis. The crisis has been transformed to a separatist movement, with some Anglophones clamoring for an independent No-So, re-baptized as “Ambazonia”. The purpose of the study is to illuminate the geopolitical perspective of the conflict which has been evaded by many scholars. Most scholarly write-ups have rather focused on the causes, course, consequences and international interventions in the crisis, with little attention to the geopolitical undertones. In terms of methodology, the paper makes use of qualitative data analysis. Unlike previous research works that link the unfolding of the crisis to Anglophone marginalization, historical and cultural difference, the findings from this paper reveals that the strategic location of No-So, the presence of resources, demographic considerations and other geopolitical parameters are proving to be responsible for the heightening of the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon and in favour of the quest for an independent Ambazonia. -
Higher Education in Africa Phase III: Angela Gaffney, Alice Golenko, Identifying Successful Regional Networks & Hubs C
Higher Education in Africa Phase III: Angela Gaffney, Alice Golenko, Identifying Successful Regional Networks & Hubs C. Leigh Anderson, & Mary Kay Gugerty EPAR Brief No. 230 Prepared for the Agricultural Policy Team of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Professor Leigh Anderson, Principal Investigator Associate Professor Mary Kay Gugerty, Principal Investigator April 29, 2013 Overview This paper is the third in EPAR’s series on Higher Education in Africa. Our research tasks in this phase build on Phase I, in which we sought to identify measurable rates of return on tertiary agricultural education in Africa and describe the current state of African higher agricultural education (HAE), and Phase II, in which we identified countries’ experiences with national higher education capacity building through partnership building, cross-border opportunities such as ‘twinning,’ and various retention and diaspora engagement strategies. In this phase we discuss successful regional education models, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. We have organized our findings and analysis into three sections.The first section organizes the literature under categories of regional higher education models or ‘hubs’ and discusses measurement of the regional impact of higher education.The second section provides bibliometric data identifying academically productive countries and universities in Sub-Saharan Africa.The final section provides a list of regional higher education models identified in the literature and through a web-based review of existing higher education networks and hubs. We also include a list of challenges and responses to regional coordination. Approach We have identified several regional higher education models through a web-based literature review. We searched for peer- reviewed journal articles using Google Scholar and the University of Washington Library system using phrases such as “top universities Africa,” “higher education impact,” “transnational higher education Africa,” “regional hubs higher education,” “quality assurance education,” “regional education network”. -

International Symposium Building the Tomorrow's Port City in Atlantic Africa Location: Kribi (Cameroon) Dates: 6-8 November 2017
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM BUILDING THE TOMORROW'S PORT CITY IN ATLANTIC AFRICA LOCATION: KRIBI (CAMEROON) DATES: 6-8 NOVEMBER 2017 1. Context and rationale The "Atlantic Africa" project aims at understanding Africa in a different way than by the usual reading grids, based on outdated findings or tainted by pejorative presuppositions now denounced. It is a matter of demonstrating that Africa is a continent in motion, a continent of human mobility and flows of goods, capital, information, a continent of circulation, much more at ease in the processes of globalization than suggest certain statistics and dominant cultural representations. It is clear that Africa no longer turns its back on the sea. On a more theoretical level, it is also a question of drawing lessons from African experiences, in order to better understand the mechanisms of globalization, as much in its technical and economic aspects as well as in its environmental, geopolitical and cultural dimensions. Preceding this symposium, a symposium has already been held in Dakar in October 2015, and two symposiums in Cotonou, Marport 1 in 2015 and Marport 2 in 2016. A book in city within the Port, led by colleagues from Abidjan, is on the publication. 2. Issue and general objective The entry chosen to achieve this objective is the port city, both a link in globalized logistical chains, an interface between the exterior and the interior of Africa, dynamic foci of territorial configurations transformed by productive processes and urban deployment. Even though these port cities are also linked to the world by air transport and the digital revolution, the sea remains, however, the result of increased penetration of manufactured goods from elsewhere and an exit from the natural resources coveted by all. -
Rivers and Ports in Transport History of Cameroon, 1916-1961
RIVERS AND PORTS IN TRANSPORT HISTORY OF CAMEROON, 1916-1961 Walter Gam Nkwi* http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/og.v13i 1.11 Abstract In direct contrast to Europe, Asia and North America, Africa has very few navigable rivers. This paper focuses on the preponderant role played by water transport in the form of rivers and ports during the colonial period. Although not blessed with much navigable rivers and natural deep ports, the Colonial administration as well as the population of Cameroon depended so much on rivers and ports for their physical mobility, transportation of bulky goods, mails migration and above all European consumer goods which came in from Europe and were head loaded into the hinterlands. Therefore rivers and ports played economic, social and political roles. Despite these important roles, the place of rivers and ports has been relegated to footnotes in historical narratives of Cameroon. This paper therefore, aims at lifting rivers and ports from the footnotes of Cameroon history into the text. It confronts the importance of such a technological system to both the colonial administration and the indigenous population. What were the type of goods that were transported via rivers and ports? More crucial to the essay is the importance of the ports in the development of the cities and the migration of people into areas where ports were found. In what ways do we linked the ports and rivers to the global mobility of goods and modernity? Introduction In Africa and the world over, water transport had been very crucial for the movements of goods and people. -
