Reflections on 2021 Africa Human Rights Day

The 2021 Africa Human Rights Day is celebrated amidst the global COVID19 pandemic. The experience of many people across the continent also shows that COVID19 has brought a huge human and peoples’ rights consequences. The pandemic has highlighted the pervasiveness of the socio-economic deprivations affecting the masses of our people. We have come to realize that under such conditions of deep structural weaknesses of our societies, the most widely used public health response measures could not be effectively implemented, without leaving the most vulnerable from the scope of these protection measures. How can someone with no access to drinking water comply with the public health call for handwashing? How can someone with no shelter comply with the public health requirement of staying at home?This year’s commemoration of Africa Human Rights Day organised by Human Rights Priority by the executive Director Miguele Houeto and her entire team (Achille Fatondji, Jaly Badiane etc.), is an important occasion to reflect on these and related issues. It presents us the opportunity to show not only why COVID19 is also essentially a human rights issue but also why human and peoples’ rights are the foundation for achieving the ideal of Agenda 2063 and the sustainable development goals of ‘leaving no one behind’

Déception cameroun

#CamerounIaiserie : Le choc émotionnel quand tu réalises que ton pays avance à reculons…

Attention ! Je n’ai pas dit #Camerounaiserie, qui est un concept porté par Ecclésiaste Deudjui d’Achouka Mondoblog. J’ai dit #CamerounIaiserie. Il y’a la lettre « i » qui fait la différence entre les deux. Pour court-circuiter votre curiosité, sachez que j’utilise ce néologisme tout simplement pour renvoyer à mes pérégrinations, périples et péripéties de voyage au Cameroun, le pays des lions (in)domptables qui est désormais le théâtre de plusieurs niaiseries. Après près de 4 années d’absence, pour des raisons académiques et professionnelles, j’ai enfin refoulé le sol du Camer. Déjà que mon voyage retour à travers ASKY n’a pas été facile, je me consolais avec les beaux souvenirs que j’avais gardés du pays, lors de mon dernier séjour. En effet, j’avais laissé un Cameroun corrompu mais vivant, un Système qui essayait tant bien que mal de survivre. Mais à mon retour, de l’aéroport à mon domicile, j’ai été totalement déphasé (1), dépaysé (2), déboussolé (3), désemparé (4), dépassé (5), désenchanté (6) et désillusionné (7) par ce que je voyais, touchais, entendais, sentais et goutais.
