Newspaper Headlines

Summary

  1. With the full provisional results from all polling stations received, only 2.28% of the councilors didn’t vote. Thus the actual participation rate was roughly 97%. Unimaginable efforts were made to get voters to difficult polling stations and indeed ALL polling stations were effective.
  2. The CPDM can’t understand how they lost in the NW. Some say the candidates led by MUNDI Regina were unpopular, others claim the UDP helped the SDF. However, having won in three divisions, the CPDM managed to snatch one of the seven elected seats and as such SDF will have six seats while the CPDM will take one to add to the 63 others that it has picked in the 9 other regions making a total of 64 seats. The head of state will then appoint 30 others not more than 10 days from when the Constitutional Council publishes the final results. Will the entire senate be CPDM?? The President will probably appoint some UNDP or FNSC members to bring in some “opposition”. Let’s see how it goes.
  3. President Paul Biya returns to Yaounde after his 72 hours trip to China. What benefits for Cameroonians? Many bilateral cooperation agreements were signed but we look forward to seeing what exactly they were and whether they won’t just be some other paper work.
  4. African Economy bosses meeting in Kigali Rwanda have signed a text in view of the establishment of a Continental Free Trade Area in Africa. This if materialized will greatly facilitate intra-African trade and boost developmental efforts. There is also an African CEO forum to hold in Abidjan still in the same light.
  5. InfoMatin looks at how Laurent Esso performed magic to grasps the votes of councilors in Yabassi of the Littoral region given that the councils there are run by the UFP party which doesn’t normally ally with the CPDM.
  6. Political parties have two days left to drop their complaints concerning any irregularities that they would want the constitutional council to rule on. Past this deadline, no other complaints can be received. 
  7. Ex-MINDEF is expected to take his place at Kondengui by the end of this week. Investigations into his embezzlement case were facilitated by the president’s trip to China where it was revealed that the state lost more than $300 Million through illicit operations carried out with China by the Ex minister of defense.
  8. What a caption by THE MEDIAN of yesterday: “TCS conducted exams: Francophones (BETIS) Excel in Concours into Kondengui Prison” Hahaha…
  9. Classes have effectively resumed at the Ecole Publique d’Ekoudou where a stampede that occurred last week claimed the lives of 4 kids.
  10. NEXTTEL targets 3.6 million customers for its Mobile Money project.

Friedrich Glasl's model of conflict escalation - At what stage are we?

-

Friedrich Glasl's model of conflict escalation assists in the analysis of conflicts. Appropriate reactions can be derived from this analysis. The model has nine stages – in contrast to the earlier model of Kurt R. Spillmann, which describes five distinct stages of escalation. These stages are grouped into three levels, which each contain three stages. Levels Glasl represents "escalation in his nine stage model not as an ascent to higher and higher stages of escalation, but as a descent to deeper and deeper, more primitive and more inhuman forms of dispute... [which] inevitably leads into regions that evoke great 'inhuman energies' which are not ultimately amenable to human control or restraint." In the first level both parties can still win (win–win). In the second level one of the parties loses and the other wins (win–lose), and in the third level both parties lose (lose–lose). Many different kinds of conflict can be thus analysed: divorces, conflicts...

Wednesday of the Eighth Week in Ordinary Time Reading 1 1 PT 1:18-25 Beloved: Realize that you were ransomed from your futile conduct, handed on by your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold but with the precious Blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished Lamb. He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Since you have purified yourselves by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, love one another intensely from a pure heart. You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and abiding word of God, for: "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the field; the grass withers, and the flower wilts; but the word of the Lord remains forever." This is the word that has been proclaimed to you. Respons...
