  • Check Against Boko Haram Terrorist Recalcitrance Around the Lake

Abstract: With the emergence and the scary inhumane actions perpetrated by the terrorist Islamic sect, Boko Haram (BH) around the Lake Chad Basin region, it was certain that checking and annihilating this group would be a matter of a short breath following the military might, war experience of and the security sustaining interest of the inhabitant states. But the massive individual and collective state deployments to bring the phenomenon to book seemed ineffective, hence prolonging the supposedly short fight against these terror belligerents. Many scholars attribute the protracted resistance of the sect to the “asymmetrical” nature of the war, but this assumption has been waved away by many observers and critics of the issue. New approaches to the understanding of why BH and its activities have stayed obstinate to the sophisticated international and local diplomatic and military moves have becomes unavoidable. This paper, written on the basis of published and unpublished sources - actors, observers and eyewitness’s accounts for that matter – is a grass-root dimensional endeavor to the question.

The WHO Health Emergencies Programme is currently monitoring 71 events in the region. This week’s edition covers key new and ongoing events, including: 2 Overview Humanitarian crisis in Niger 3 - 6 Ongoing events Ebola virus disease in Democratic Republic of the Congo Humanitarian crisis in Central African Republic 7 Summary of major issues, challenges Cholera in Burundi. and proposed actions For each of these events, a brief description, followed by public health measures implemented and an interpretation of the situation is provided. 8 All events currently being monitored A table is provided at the end of the bulletin with information on all new and ongoing public health events currently being monitored in the region, as well as recent events that have largely been controlled and thus closed. Major issues and challenges include: The humanitarian crisis in Niger and the Central African Republic remains unabated, characterized by continued armed attacks, mass displacement of the population, food insecurity, and limited access to healthcare services. In Niger, the extremely volatile security situation along the borders with Burkina Faso, Mali, and Nigeria occasioned by armed attacks from Non-State Actors as well as resurgence in inter-communal conflicts, is contributing to an unprecedented mass displacement of the population along with its associated consequences. Seasonal flooding with huge impact as well as high morbidity and mortality rates from common infectious diseases have also complicated response to the humanitarian crisis.

  • B133 Cameroon's Far North Reconstruction Amid Ongoing Conflict
    Cameroon’s Far North: Reconstruction amid Ongoing Conflict &ULVLV*URXS$IULFD%ULHILQJ1 1DLUREL%UXVVHOV2FWREHU7UDQVODWHGIURP)UHQFK I. Overview Cameroon has been officially at war with Boko Haram since May 2014. Despite a gradual lowering in the conflict’s intensity, which peaked in 2014-2015, the contin- uing violence, combined with the sharp rise in the number of suicide attacks between May and August 2017, are reminders that the jihadist movement is by no means a spent force. Since May 2014, 2,000 civilians and soldiers have been killed, in addition to the more than 1,000 people kidnapped in the Far North region. Between 1,500 and 2,100 members of Boko Haram have reportedly been killed following clashes with the Cameroonian defence forces and vigilante groups. The fight against Boko Haram has exacerbated the already-delicate economic situation for the four million inhabitants of this regionௗ–ௗthe poorest part of the country even before the outbreak of the conflict. Nevertheless, the local population’s adaptability and resilience give the Cameroonian government and the country’s international partners the opportunity to implement development policies that take account of the diversity and fluidity of the traditional economies of this border region between Nigeria and Chad. The Far North of Cameroon is a veritable crossroads of trading routes and cultures. Besides commerce, the local economy is based on agriculture, livestock farming, fishing, tourism, transportation of goods, handcrafts and hunting. The informal sector is strong, and contraband rife. Wealthy merchants and traditional chiefsௗ–ௗoften members of the ruling party and high-ranking civil servantsௗ–ௗare significant economic actors.

  • Innovative Approaches
    INNOVATIVE APPROACHES PREPOSITIONING OBSTETRIC KITS A Strategy for Reducing Maternal and Neonatal Mortality in Health Facilities in the Northern Region of Cameroon CAMEROON PARTNERS: Ministry of Health, UNFPA, SIDA , C2D (The Partnership Framework with France), H4+ Partners JUSTIFICATION OF THE INNOVATION The burden of maternal deaths is of great concern in Cameroon. Among various causes, is the fact that before 2011, in all health facilities including those in the northern region of P H Cameroon, pregnant women were expected to O T pay in advance for care related to delivery and O BY S. TORFINN management of obstetric complications. This prevented access to care for poor women or caused significant delays in the decision to use health facilities, thus leading to an increase in maternal and neonatal mortality in the poorest areas in Cameroon. To address this issue, the Ministry of Health and partners introduced an innovative approach in the northern region of Cameroon, the prepositioning of obstetric kits (birthing kit and emergency caesarean bag) in health facilities. These kits have general use items and medicines for normal vaginal delivery and caesarean delivery respectively. The strategy aims to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality by reducing the third delay (time lost between reaching the facility and initiation of treatment) to access care, especially delayed treatment of obstetric complications and deliveries in these facilities. 1 CAMEROON VE I BACKGROUND INNOVAT APPORACHES Maternal mortality continues to rise in Cameroon, with data reporting an increase of 352 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births from 1998 to 2011 with 430 deaths per 100,000 live births (DHS II, 1998) to 669 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births (DHS III, 2004) then 782 deaths per 100,000 live births (DHS IV, 2011).
