I. AIR TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE IN CAMEROON IN 2016 Elaborated after the exploitation of data collected at the airports, this edition of The Bulletin Statistiques of the CCAA presents the traffic of air transport activity in Cameroon during the year 2016. It gives an overall view of national and international commercial and non commercial traffic in terms of aircraft movements, passenger flows, freight and mail tons transported via Cameroon airports.

FLIGHT MOVEMENTS During the year 2016 aircraft movements witnessed a drop of -4 % from a total of 27 504 movements, both landings and takeoffs, down to 26 461. For flight movements beyond the borders of Cameroon, this regression stood at -3%. However, as concerns regular commercial flights, traffic of flight takeoffs progressed by 5% rising from 10 533 departures in 2015 to 11 046 in 2016. Again, further analysis show that this progress is highly felt in terms of Regional and International flights (flights beyond CEMAC sub region) with a progress rate of 10% for aircraft takeoffs from the international airports of Douala and Yaounde-Nsimalen. The growth in international flight movement can be attributed to the intensification of operations by regular airlines like Ethiopian Airlines that has started serving the Yaounde-Nsimalen International airport (NSI). Whereas the regression observed in domestic flight movement can be due partially to the operational difficulties observed by CAMAIRCO, the lone regular operator at the national level and also to the rehabilitation works at the Douala international airport (DLA) that grounded flights for three weeks. This equally accounts for the sharp progress recorded at the level of NSI. 4 III. PASSENGER FLOWS The traffic of Passengers recorded a general 13% was observed for passengers at the regional and international networks, increase of 4% year on year, rising to a total indicating an increase of 129 902 passengers of 1 326 800 terminal passengers in 2016, up in absolute terms, up from 1 023 800 in 2015 from 1 275 040 passengers transported the to 1 153 702 international passengers in previous year. For regular commercial flights, 2016. This progress showed an annual departing passenger number witnessed an growth rate of up to 40% increase in annual growth of 26% growing from 635 559 departing passengers for all segments of passengers at departure of flights in 2015 to international flights. (Tables attached) 801 402 in 2016, for both paying and non paying passengers. About a total of 262 239 It is worth mentioning that statistics at passengers transited via the airports in arrival of flights remain largely under Cameroon for all types of flight. estimated as most operators particularly the According to the network type, passengers national carrier, CAMAIRCO, still hesitate to transported via the domestic route network declare the number of passengers at landing. dropped by -31%, meanwhile a growth rate of IV. FREIGHT TRAFFIC The traffic of cargo and mail transported via air to and from Cameroon recorded an exponential growth rate of 76%, rising from about 15 000 tons of freight carried in 2015 to 25 505 tons in 2016. The growing trend observed in freight traffic is largely due to the activities of new entrant cargo carriers like Air Cargo Global that continue to intensify their activities in Cameroon and also due to the continuous amelioration in the compilation process of freight data, notably the inclusion of figures from DHL which were not available in 2015. 5 V. AIRPORT TRAFFIC It goes without saying that most of the air traffic in Cameroon is manifested at the Douala international airport which continues to grow as a m ajor hub in the central African sub region. As in the previous years, this airport recorded about 53% of international passenger flows to/from Cameroon. Nevertheless, while fr eight traffic developed a positive trend at this airport in 2016, both air craft movement and passenger flows stagnated at a rate of -19% respectively, compared to the figures of the previous year. This downward trend could partially be attributed to the temporal suspension of activities at the airport in March 2016 for rehabilitation of the runways. On the other hand Yaounde-Nsimalen international airport recorded tremendous growth in terms of aircraft movements (33%), passenger flows (64%) and freight transported (14%) respectively, compared to the previous year 2015 (see Table 2). The deviation of activities from the Douala international airport (DLA) for reasons above, the launching of regular flights to this airport by Ethiopian Airlines and the organization of the crowd pulling Women African Nations’ Cup in Cameroon accounted for this positive trend. As concerns share of passenger traffic per airport, DLA covers about 53% share of international passengers transported via Cameroon while NSI follows with about 47%. The figures of Maroua and Garoua remain largely negligible. For domestic traffic share, NSI tops the chart, covering 37% of national passenger flows, while DLA seconds with 25%, Maroua 22% and Garoua 16%, traffic at Bafoussam airport is gradually picking up. A greater proportion of traffic at Maroua and Garoua is linked to non regular commercial and non commercial flights such as military and humanitarian flights in connection with security threats posed by the BOKO HARAM insurgency at the northern parts of the country. 6 VI. PERFORMANCE OF AIR TRANSPORT COMPANIES About seventeen (17) regular commercial airlines operate international air transport services to and from Cameroon, in addition to five (5) non regular operators and cargo carriers like DHL, Air Cargo Global and Air Atlanta Icelandic. International air transport activity is largely dominated by the merger European companies that fly the Cameroon destination, with Air France topping the lead (about 20% of the market share), followed by Brussels Airlines and Turkish Airlines. Leading regional airlines such as Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Asky Airlines and Air Cote d’Ivoire continue to tighten their grip in the Cameroon air services market. The national flag bearer CAMAIRCO was plagued by operational difficulties but is expected to regain steam with the acquisition of new aircraft previewed under its restructuring plan with the government. Details of these traffic results are illustrated in the tables and figures attached as Annex. 7 ANNEX TABLE 1 : SUMMARY OF TRAFFIC RESULTS PER AIRPORT FOR THE YEAR 2016 Airport Nature of flight Movements Passengers Pax in Transit Freight & Poste Bafoussam Nat 55 828 75 - Total 55 828 75 - Douala Nat 2 840 42 846 31 644 87,11 CEM 5 113 157 057 35 450 171,01 Reg 3 672 244 940 62 167 1 023,13 Int 1 031 212 475 53 513 19 095,31 Total 12 656 657 318 182 774 20 377 Garoua Nat 3 415 26 997 2 802 52,02 CEM 227 284 185 - Reg 1 - - - Int - - - - Total 3 643 27 281 2 987 52 Maroua Salak Nat 1 300 36 266 435 22,51 CEM 215 2 867 75 0,67 Reg 4 - - - Total 1 519 39 133 510 23 Ngaoundere Nat 213 4 436 683 0,03 CEM 3 61 23 - Total 216 4 497 706 0 Yaoundé-NSI Nat 3 581 61 725 17 152 7,51 CEM 949 13 751 3 391 18,92 Reg 2 159 106 231 29 480 49,31 Int 1 683 416 036 25 164 4 977,69 Total 8 372 597 743 75 187 5 053 TOTAL Nat 11 404 173 098 52 791 169 CEM 6 507 174 020 39 124 191 Reg 5 836 351 171 91 647 1 072 Int 2 714 628 511 78 677 24 073 Total 26 461 1 326 800 262 239 25 505 National Nat 11 404 173 098 52 791 169 International CEM+Reg+Int 15 057 1 153 702 209 448 25 336 TOTAL Nat+Int 26 461 1 326 800 262 239 25 505 Nat: National Reg: Regional Int: International (Africa - CEMAC) (world – Africa) 8 TABLE 2 : EVOLUTION OF GLOBAL TRAFFIC (BOTH LANDING AND TAKE-OFF) PER AIRPORT AND ROUTE SEGMENT FOR 2015 AND 2016 Airports ROUTE SEGMENT MVT

O. Box 282, Dschang, Cameroon. Tel: 237-677-813-172. E-mail: [email protected] Received: January 3, 2015 Accepted: January 30, 2015 Online Published: March 29, 2015 doi:10.5539/ijel.v5n2p47 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ijel.v5n2p47 Abstract This paper analyses the metalanguage of corruption in Cameroon. Using examples from the registers of General Administration, Transport and Education, from the sociolinguistic frame, the paper shows that the widespread corruption in Cameroon has led to the development of a rich specialized language to discuss it. In the sectors of General Administration, Transport and Education, simple and neutral expressions in Cameroon French, Cameroon English and Cameroon Pidgin English have acquired subtle meanings that they need the interpretation of someone who knows the system to be fully understood. This study thus tries to throw some light on this domain so far unexplored. Keywords: metalanguage, corruption, bribery, general administration, transport, education 1. Introduction In recent years, corruption has become so rampant across the globe that for some time now a German-based NGO, Transparency International has been ranking many countries of the world according to their index of corruption. These ill practices are generally seen as the plague of the poor countries.

  • Urban-Bias and the Roots of Political Instability
    Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instablity: The case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa By Beth Sharon Rabinowitz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Professor Michael Watts Professor Robert Price Professor Catherine Boone Fall 2013 COPYRIGHT Abstract Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instablity: The case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa By Beth Sharon Rabinowitz Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Steven K. Vogel, Chair Urban-bias and the Roots of Political Instability: the case for the strategic importance of the rural periphery in sub-Saharan Africa seeks to unravel a conundrum in African politics. Since the 1980s, we have witnessed two contradictory trends: on the one hand, coups, which have become rare events world-wide, have continued to proliferate in the region; concurrently, several African countries – such as Ghana, Uganda, Burkina Faso and Benin – have managed to escape from seemingly insurmountable coup-traps. What explains this divergence? To address these contradictory trends, I focus initially on Ghana and Cote d‟Ivoire, neighboring states, with comparable populations, topographies, and economies that have experienced contrasting trajectories. While Ghana suffered five consecutive coups from the 1966 to 1981, Cote d‟Ivoire was an oasis of stability and prosperity. However, by the end of the 20th century, Ghana had emerged as one of the few stable two-party democracies on the continent, as Cote d‟Ivoire slid into civil war.

    Cycle of Prayer 12 May - 07 September 2019 Diocese of Chester Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Chester Diocesan Board of Finance. Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE. Tel: 01928 718834 Chester Diocesan Board of Finance is a company limited by guarantee registered in England (no. 7826) Registered charity (no. 248968) Foreword There are many things that lend their rhythm to our prayer lives. The span of our life from birth to death and the Christian year from Christmas to Easter to Advent provide the most slowly developing rhythms. Week in and week out the pattern of the church’s Sunday worship provides another rhythm. This diary, on the other hand, is prepared to support the daily rhythm of our prayer; the heart-beat of faithful living. In our daily prayers we hold before our Heavenly Father the closest and most immediate concerns of life. In the Daily Prayer of Chester Cathedral this diary informs our intercessions set amidst the reading and singing of scripture. Here we weave together the cries of our hearts born out of our particular experience of life with the span of salvation history and the Good News of Jesus. We follow these pages, praying around God’s church in our diocese and our world-wide communion, as we begin and end every single day. We draw great encouragement in the knowledge that we do so with you. Tim Stratford, Dean. Welcome ‘Mercifully assist our prayers that we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us…’ Those ancient words from the Book of Common Prayer assume that intercession is an everyday and expected activity for every person.
