Newspaper Headlines

Summary

Please take off 10s to answer our 2 questions on the right side bar!

  1. Cameroon Tribune writes: “Peace and security in the NW and SW; a concern for all.” This is to report on the visit of MINAT, Atanga Nji who held peace talks with fons and chiefs as well as administrative authorities of the SW region who pledged to do all in their power to work for the restoration of peace and security.
  2. SDF has filed a petition to the Constitutional Council demanding the cancellation of the senatorial election proceedings in the SW region due to some irregularities they claim to have noticed, ranging from ghost voters to the corruption of electors. The CDU of Adamou Ndam Njoya on its part demands the cancellation of the same elections in the West region claiming electors were influenced with cash gifts and they also signal some irregularities. Those are the only two post-electoral petitions that have been registered at the Council.
  3. Agbor Balla refutes social media propaganda about him being sponsored by ATANGA NJI to destabilize the struggle.
  4. The Guardian Post contrasts the contribution of Anglophones and “Nordistes” to the flourishing of Paul Biya’s agenda. It also talks of how Cameroon spent  2.6 billion FCFA on champagne in 2016. What a people!
  5. InfoMatin talks of Nalova Lyonga’s plan of digitizing the secondary education sector with the expertise of MTN. Probably the same things she did in UB. MTN presented its offer yesterday in Yaounde.
  6. Jeune Afrique and the possible successor of Paul Biya. They danced between Sadi, Esso, and Motaze but saw Esso as the favorite.
  7. Le Jour looks at the sparrow hook operation at the level of the University of Douala. With all the protests and strikes that have been taking place lately, maybe it’s time to start some serious investigations.
  8. L’Economie talks of some food items that are being seized and have been prohibited from being sold but which still make their way into our markets.
  9. Cocoa exportation for first trimester 2018 has droped by more than 40% from that of last year.
  10. Mutations looks into the chaos at the University of Douala with protest upon protest. It writes “The University in the street”. It also looks at the challenges telecoms operators will have to face during the 2019 AFCON.

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...
