Big Temptation! Ayah Paul going back to serve the Biya’s regime?

AYAH Paul ABINE, PAP Chairman and SCNC Leader

Cameroon Journal, Yaoundé – Barely a week after People’s Action Party PAP Chairman, Paul Ayah was elected in Kumba to head the Southern Cameroons National Council, President Biya did something unheard of –appointed him a Supreme Court Advocate.
The appointment among others came following the holding of a meeting of the Higher Judicial Council at the Unity Palace Thursday Dec.18.
The move has been seen by many Anglophones as a strategy by the Biya’s regime to stop Ayah Paul from pressing on with activities of the secessionist group.
The meeting of the council attended by ten members, scrutinized disciplinary files of magistrates, appointments, reclassification, promotion and the integration of newly graduated magistrates from the National School of Administration and Magistracy, ENAM, into the magistracy corp.
Besides Ayah’s appointment, the Supreme Council witnessed changes at the helm with the appointment of Daniel Mekobe Sone as president of the court, replacing Alexis Dipanda Mouelle who has served the institution for 25 years.
At the audit bench of the Supreme Court, Andre Belombe was appointed to replace Clement Atangana who also goes on retirement, while Luc Ndojo is the new state prosecutor at the Supreme Court replacing Martin Moulong. 17 advocate generals were also appointed to the court.
Paul Ayah has so far not commented on the appointment and at press time we could not get in touch with him to sample his opinion about the appointment.

Cameroon-Congo Opens Inter-State University In Sangmélima

Jacques Fame Ndongo

The Sub-regional integration involving Cameroon and Congo, has resolved to the creation of an inter-state university to train students from the two countries in Sangmélima, South Region of Cameroon.

The announcement to create the inter-state university was made last Saturday 6th of December, 2014, at Zoétélé in the Dja and Lobo Division by the Cameroon's Minister of Higher Education, Jacques Fame Ndongo. The Minister explains that, the inter-state university will be aiming at training students to understand and master innovative professional skills. He added that, the courses that will be offered at this university will be focusing more on high technology training. On Thursday, Minister Jacques Fame Ndongo revealed that this inter-state university will take off by the 15th of January 2015.

The University is therefore a tool to strengthen the South to South cooperation in the field of higher education. It is also an inspiring opportunity for the two countries in the Sub region of the Economic Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). Though the inter-state University at the moment is yet to have its own site and structures, the maiden institution will be temporarily based in the campus of the 'Collège Notre Dame de Sangmélima" while pending the construction of its permanent structures.

It is a wish of the two heads of States that is Paul BIYA of Cameroon and Denis SASSO NGUESSO of Congo, to further strengthen their diplomatic cooperation in the domain of education. The two statesmen earlier confirmed their intention to open the institution in the South Region of Cameroon during their meeting at the 15th Summit of the Francophonie in Dakar, Senegal. For the final adjustments, a large delegation of Congolese diplomats who were presently in Cameroon, will on Monday 22nd of November, 2014 discuss more issues concerning the inter-state University.

With the opening of this University in the Dja and Lobo Division and specifically in the town of Sangmélima, the Division is certainly going to witness a remarkable growth as it will experience a significant influx of people and aspiring students from within and without the country.
