Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon

Cameroon is a land of much promise, but a land of unfulfilled promises. It has the potential to be an economically developed and democratic society but the struggle to live up to its potential has not gone well. Since independence there have been only two presidents of Cameroon; the current one has been in office since 1982. Endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals and substantial forests, and a dynamic population, this is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talent...

African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights: Ten years on and still no justice

It has been ten years since the African Heads of State signed the Protocol to establish the African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights at the Organization of African Unity summit in Burkina Faso in 1998. Yet the African Court has yet to hear a case. There is great need for a functioning and effective human rights monitoring body, for all those living on the African continent, and especially for minorities and indigenous peoples, who are particularly affected by human rights violations both in major crises and on a daily basis – and who, because of their marginalization, are often ignored by governments. This report looks at the context of human rights in Africa and describes what has bee...

Fulani Hegemony in Yola (Old Adamawa) 1809-1902

Following the launching of jihad against Sarkin Gobir and other Hausa chiefs by Uthman dan Fodio, a renowned Muslim reformer, Yola became one of the focal points for Uthman's Movement south of the Lake Chad region. The leader was Modibbo Adama (1809-1847) and the emirate he formed was called Adamawa. The study analyses the factors which came into play in the creation and maintenance of the emirate out of a vast array of segmented units of authority. By the middle of the 19th century, Europeans started visiting the region in a general drive to abolish slave trade from its sources and substitute it with legitimate trade. Not contented with mere trade, European expeditions competed with one ano...
