Bakassi la Camerounaise ?

Selon l'ONU, l'histoire de Bakassi compterait parmi "les 10 sujets de 2006 dont le monde devrait entendre parler davantage"; l'histoire est celle d'un recours (victorieux?) a la loi pour prevenir un conflit entre les deux voisins. Le contentieux opposant le Cameroun au Nigeria arrive t'il a un epilogue? L'actualite nous porterait a croire que c'est le cas : selon la BBC, le Nigeria aurait commence a retirer une partie de ses troupes de la peninsule de Bakassi. D'ici a Lundi prochain, 3000 troupes nigeriannes devraient s'etre retirees de Bakassi.

Bakassi est-il Camerounais ou Nigerian? Avis partages, selon le camp dans lequel on se trouve. Sur la blogosphere quelques articles interessants qui retracent une partie des faits historiques.
Suite au jugement rendu par la Cour Internationale de Justice en Octobre 2002, et a la rencontre entre les presidents nigerians et camerounais en Juin dernier, l'histoire s'accelere apres 14 ans de conflit juridique et 3 decennies de tensions au frontieres. Les faits et les hommes sont tetus, et certains habitants se sentant Nigerians, ont decide de creer un etat independant d'un Cameroun avec lequel ils ne se sentent pas en lien.

Nul besoin de rappeler que la question de la souverainete ne s'est posee avec acuite, que lorsqu'il a ete decouvert que la region regorge de petrole (certaines hypotheses parlent de 10% des reserves mondiales de gas et de petrole). Encore un desordre herite de la colonisation, du decoupage arbitraire de l'Afrique et de la cupidite des hommes.

Affaire a suivre !

There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Jennifer "JJ" Jareau

The Jennifer "JJ"Jareau principle In the critically acclaimed US TV Show Criminal Minds , Jennifer "JJ"Jareau a.k.a "JJ" quoted nicely her exit interview in the 2nd episode of the 6th Season.  Here's what I named it the Jennifer "JJ" Jareau principle. I'm thankful for my years spent with this family; for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow.  I'll take the best of them and lead by their example; where ever I go.  A friend told me to be honest with you, so here it goes.  This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road.  Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson, or I don't want to walk around angry.  Or maybe it's because I finally understand.  There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept; things we don't want to know, but have to learn, and people we can't live without, but have to let go. As you can see, ...

This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. | JJ Principle (1)

Take the High Road. I am sure several ones of you have heard it before tossed at like a wisdom nugget, and have wondered "which road is that ?" or worse, should you have been too stunned or lost, your mouth merely expulsed two words "come again ?" Truth be told, it's one of these sentences that are thrown away when a conflict arises, but on which, few can give a precise defintion. I'll try my best to remedy to that.   So what does "Take the high road" really means ? John C. Maxwell theorized The High Road Principle gives us a good explanation by stating that there are three roads or options that we can take in life:   The low road : where we treat people worse than they treat us. The middle road : where we treat people the same as they treat us The high road : where we treat people better than they treat us Let's ponder the options set out by Mr Maxwell 1. The Low Road If treated poorly, one reaction co...
