Despite the World Health Organization’s publication of different measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, new cases are reported daily. These protective control measures put in place assumed that transmission of COVID-19 was mediated essentially through droplets released from the nasal and respiratory secretions of infected persons. Recent scientific evidence however puts forward the occurrence and shedding of active COVID-19 virus in stools of infected persons. The present study tested the acceptability of an improved version of the ‘Yellow soup’ which contains ingredients/spices with known antibacterial/antiviral properties.

  • Recipes and Cuisine of Cameroon June 2013
    Recipes and Cuisine of Cameroon June 2013 Cuisine Cameroonian cuisine is one of the most varied in Africa due to its location on the crossroads between the north, west, and centre of the continent; added to this is the profound influence of French food, a legacy of the colonial era. Staple foods in Cameroon include cassava, yam, rice, plantain, potato, maize, beans and millet. The French introduced French bread and Italian pasta, which are not as widely consumed, however, due to their price. The main source of protein for most inhabitants is fish, with poultry and meat being too expensive for anything other than special occasions. Bush meat, however, is commonly consumed - some of the most sought after species being the pangolin, the porcupine and the giant rat. Among Cameroonian specialties are brochettes (a kind of barbecued kebab made from chicken, beef or goat), sangah (a mixture of maize, cassava leaf and palmnut juice) and ndolé (the national dish - a spicy stew containing bitter-leaf greens, meat, shrimp, pork rind and peanut paste). Curries, soups and fish dishes abound, as well as meats on skewers. Insects are eaten in some parts of the country (particularly the north). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameroonian_cuisine Cameroonian Dinner Customs If you are invited to a Cameroonian’s house you should dress well – this demonstrates respect towards your hosts. Shake hands with each guest individually starting with the most senior people present. Do not discuss business during a social function. Cameroonians are somewhat formal and believe good table manners demonstrate respect. When in doubt, watch what others do and emulate their behavior.

    Negotiation of Identities and Language Practices among Cameroonian Immigrants in Cape Town Magdaline Mbong Mai A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Philosophiae in the Department of Linguistics, University of the Western Cape May 2011 Supervisor: Professor Felix Banda Negotiation of Identities and Language Practices Negotiation of Identities and Language Practices among Cameroonian Immigrants in Cape Town Keywords Cape Town Cameroonian immigrants Transformation Multilingualism Anglophone Francophone Identity (performative) Cape identities Hybridity Translocality ii Negotiation of Identities and Language Practices Abstract Negotiation of Identities and Langua ge Practices among Cameroonian Immigrants in Cape Town. Magdaline Mbong Mai PhD Thesis, Department of Linguistics, University of the Western Cape. This thesis is an exploration of the historical, socio-cultural, economic, and political settings in which identities are negotiated and performed among Cameroonian immigrants in Cape Town. Focusing on language as localized practices and different interaction regimes, the thesis investigates how Cameroonian immigrants maintain and reconfigure the Anglophone/Francophone identity options in novel and hybrid ways. In addition, the study examines how ideologies favouring different languages are reproduced and challenged in translocal and transnational discourses. Guided by the poststructuralist theories the thesis explores the stance that reality is socially constructed, based on symbolic and material structural limitations that are challenged and maintained in interaction. That is, whatever we do or believe in, is supported by some historical or cultural frames of meanings in our lived world, which often gives room to some manoeuvre to do things in a new way. The study adopts a multiplex interpretive approach to data collection.

The need for African cities to “feed themselves” is more in Urban Agriculture in Urban Vegetables African Indigenous relevant than ever, with current food price hikes impacting on the urban poor. By bringing together a unique collection of expertise in horticulture and urban agriculture, this publication demonstrates the adaptive capacity and nutritional importance of African indigenous vegetables for urban food systems and makes a compelling case for development and policy action in support of safe urban agriculture and better use of these important crops.’ Gordon Prain, Global Coordinator, Urban Harvest, www.uharvest.org ‘The editors and contributors of African Indigenous Vegetables in Urban Agriculture skilfully illustrate how farmers are maintaining the diversity of our global food basket and increasing the availability of fresh vegetables widely consumed by the urban poor.

Yet they are overlooked in the modern world, where recent emphasis has been directed to growing a limited range of exotic crops, both for internal markets and for export to developed-country markets.

    ISTITUTO SUPERIORE DI SANITÀ Cameroon-Nigeria-Italy scientific cooperation: veterinary public health and sustainable food safety to promote “one health/one prevention” Edited by Chiara Frazzoli (a), Emmanuel Acha Asongalem (b) and Orish Ebere Orisakwe (c) (a) Department of Veterinary Public Health and Food Safety, Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Italy (b) Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Buea, Cameroon (c) Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria ISSN 1123-3117 Rapporti ISTISAN 12/49 Istituto Superiore di Sanità Cameroon-Nigeria-Italy scientific cooperation: veterinary public health and sustainable food safety to promote “one health/one prevention”. Edited by Chiara Frazzoli, Emmanuel Acha Asongalem and Orish Ebere Orisakwe 2012, vi, 198 p. Rapporti ISTISAN 12/49 Sub-Saharan Africa has often adopted a short-term view of human development relying on external financial support, whereas limited resources are invested in scientific research, technology, prevention and innovation as drivers of social and economic growth and long-term sustainable development. In a continent where products of animal origin have become fundamental in human diet, veterinary public health and food safety are called to face toxicological risk factors related to food-chain contamination, in particular those triggering poor health burden through vertical (mother to child) exposure. This report summarizes the current items of the Cameroon-Nigeria-Italy experience of scientific cooperation pivoting on a network crosscutting public institutions, universities, NGOs and social, professional and scientific organizations. The network promotes a “social toxicology” based on the proactive capability of local communities to widen the field of international cooperation to the prevention early in life of chronic multi-factorial diseases.
