Empirical evidence indicates that coercive measures alone have proven insufficient to resolve Cameroon’s Anglophone crisis. Sustained, inclusive dialogue among all stakeholders remains the requisite mechanism for durable peace and social cohesion #UN_cmr #Religion4peace #PeacefulLiving

Somewhere today, a teacher is standing before a child who does not yet know what they can become.

That teacher may never see the full harvest of the words spoken, the confidence restored, or the dream awakened. But years later, that child may still remember one sentence: “I believe in you.”

I know this because before global stages, international assignments and policy rooms, I stood before students with a piece of chalk in my hand.

I was a teacher.

And that classroom changed me.

Teaching taught me that education is not simply transferring knowledge. It is seeing possibility where others may see limitation. It is giving confidence to the quiet student, patience to the struggling one, and hope to the child who has begun doubting themselves.

A student may forget the equation written on the board, but never forget the teacher who made them feel capable.

That is why teachers are among society’s greatest builders. Before anyone builds a hospital, a bridge, a company, an institution or a nation, someone first helps build that person.

To every teacher working with limited resources, preparing lessons late into the night, correcting papers, encouraging children and carrying burdens nobody sees: your work matters more than you may ever know.

My grandmother used to say, “The one who teaches plants seeds that bloom in seasons they may never see.”

Today, I honour every teacher who planted such seeds in me.

And to teachers everywhere: thank you for seeing tomorrow inside a child today.

Happy Teachers’ Day.

Foncham International trained customs and environmental inspectors during COVID‑19 because the Ministry trusted Foncham’s expertise enough to continue critical PCB enforcement capacity building even under pandemic restrictions.
This is institutional authority, not coincidence.

Rain warnings tell you how much water is coming.
They do not tell you when it reaches your door

[Dr. Richard Munang @RichardMunang]

Warnings tell us how much rain is coming. We're working out how much rain each street can take, its rain line, and which decisions raise it, so families move before water reaches their door.

Africa accounts for 54 UN member nations and over 1.5 billion people, yet has no permanent representation on the UN Security Council.
​A structure frozen in 1945 no longer reflects today's geopolitical reality. It’s time for structural reform #UNGA81 #StrongerTogether #UNSC

Africa Demands a Seat on the UN Security Council and rightfully so

The inclusion of the Security Council in the architecture of the United Nations must have been premised on a compelling idea: that those entrusted with maintaining international peace and security should, in some measure, reflect the world they represent.

And yet, eighty years after the establishment of the United Nations, Africa remains the only continent without a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.

That anomaly is difficult to ignore.

Africa is home to 54 of the UN’s 193 member states and some 1.5 billion people more than 18% of humanity. Yet when some of the most consequential decisions on international peace and security are made, Africa has no permanent voice at the table.

This is why the renewed call by African leaders, including President John Dramani Mahama, is about more than securing a seat. It is about correcting a historical imbalance and asking whether the architecture of global governance still reflects the world in which we live.

As President Mahama said at the 81st UN General Assembly :

“Security Council reform is not a favour to Africa; it is an imperative for the legitimacy, credibility, and survival of the United Nations.”

The historical argument is compelling. When the UN was established in 1945, most African countries were still colonies and had no meaningful participation in shaping the post-war international order. Today, Africa is an indispensable part of that order, yet its representation in the Security Council remains unchanged.

The African Union’s Ezulwini Consensus has therefore called for at least two permanent African seats, with the same rights and privileges, including veto power, as the existing permanent members.

There is also a practical contradiction that cannot be overlooked. Africa remains central to much of the Security Council’s peace and security agenda and contributes significantly to international peacekeeping, as and when the need arises,yet it has no permanent voice in authorising and shaping those decisions.

President Mahama has put the matter quite simply:

“We cannot credibly champion the sovereign equality of nations while preserving a global governance structure designed for the post-war geopolitical realities.”

Perhaps that is ultimately what this conversation is about. Not whether Africa deserves a place at the table, but whether a global institution can remain legitimate when an entire continent of 54 nations remains permanently excluded from its highest chamber.

Africa is not asking for charity.

It is asking for representation.

And perhaps, as President Mahama reminded the world, the time has come to recognise that “the future is African.”
