: An oil tanker in the corridors of power


petrochemical engineer graduate in the U.S., he served continuously in government for 17 years



"Empowered politics." Alain Blaise Batongue, journalist and deputy political Cameroon, had not hesitated to flank this quality to the current Minister of State in charge of Territorial Administration and Decentralization. Sure, his personality inspires curiosity and fascination. To the point that uncontrolled and persistent rumors circulating about him. Between the stories of manners, his alleged presidential pretensions, its inputs assumed in the drafting of the magazine Jeune Afrique, its political clout in the Far North and his contacts with the French authorities assumed current (According to the Pan-Africa International magazine, he held a quiet ceremony to celebrate the victory of Nicolas Sarkozy in the presidential election), his wealth and property are sometimes sprouts fatty press. Like its management acts within government and beyond.

Born in 1952, Marafa Hamidou Yaya obtained a BA in Geology at the University of Yaounde in 1976. He flies to the U.S. following a competition launched by the African-American Institute (AAI). Holds a masters of science in engineering at petrolum University of Kensai, the university will be assigned in parallel, from 1978 to 1980, an assistant research that will build at the University of Yaounde I, upon his return to Cameroon. Recruited as a petroleum engineer at Elf Serepca May to September 1980 he became head of department operations-production "at the National Hydrocarbons Company (SNH), Cameroon. It also carries as an adviser between 1990 and 1992.


Deriving the Fulani aristocracy of Garoua (North), "as thin and discreet," Marafa Hamidou Yaya, truly enter into politics in the early 1990s. It would have been noticed by Ebenezer Njoh Mouelle, then presidential adviser of the Republic. Appointed Chargé de Mission of the DPRK delegation to the laws of 1992, he became a full member of the Central Committee in July of that year. He even participated in the drafting of the technical program of President Paul Biya in presidential elections of October 1992. Four years later, he joined the politburo of the ruling party. His entry into politics has opened the doors of government that has left more than 17 years. In the government's November 27, 1992, he was appointed Secretary of State No. 2 Finance. Only 2 years later he was promoted to Special Advisor to the President of the Republic. In the aftermath of the presidential election, President Paul Biya appointed Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic. He broke the record for longevity in this position by spending almost 4 years. A position where the average longevity is around a year and a half. Minister of State since 2001, Marafa Hamidou Yaya is currently addressing the territorial administration and decentralization. The Ministry of Interior. A strategic position which was often put under the spotlight. Especially after the riots of February 2008 where he accuses John Fru Ndi, leader of the Social Democratic Front (SDF), the main opposition party of being behind an "Operation Kenya." The media takes delight and criticizes both. Like the trial that is going to bring the accused, John Fru Ndi.

President of the National Commission of the Hajj, Marafa Hamidou Yaya is sometimes undermined in the press for its travel management Cameroonian Muslims and pilgrims bound for Mecca. However, we can recognize his courage and daring in some initiatives. For example, he decided, even provoke the wrath of his comrades of the party in power, forcing mayors to reside in municipalities they run. According to the law that "no person may be a candidate in municipal elections if not actually residing in the territory of the municipality concerned."



His policy anchor in the North débat.Il also managed to consolidate its position as political leader of the north face of the powerful family Hayatou, who rules the Lamidat (traditional chiefs) believe some of Garoua . His political stature in the region, which comes from the first president of Cameroon, Ahmadou Ahidjo, seems not to the liking of everyone. Some have even seen in the appointment of Issa Tchiroma Bakary from the same era as his geographical and current Minister of Communications, a subtle maneuver to nibble his political prestige.

This former teacher of Hydrology, Faculty of Science University of Yaounde might be dead 25 years ago. He was arrested in wave of arrests that have plagued some citizens of the north of Cameroon, following the failed coup of April 6, 1984 against Paul Biya. It would have been saved by his wife Jeannette Njanga, That night, Marafa Hamidou Yaya was extracted from the vehicle following a petition by his young wife ... The truck was Mbalmayo leaving for a few days after the failed coup of 6 April 1984 summary executions of rebels and their accomplices. Gilbert is ANDZE Tsoung memory of late, then Minister of Armed Forces, sensitive to the petition of the young lady who took the decision to lower the truck he saw that his comrades in the U.S. as a student Hamidou Yaya says a source.

Today, the episode is in the mirror and Marafa no longer a marked man. At least officially. One thing is certain: it is without doubt one of the heavyweights of the government and the ruling party. Does he dream of a national destiny more impressive than it had so far? At the residence of U.S. Ambassador to Cameroon at the inauguration of Barack Obama, as he watched the charismatic president passionately swear, what was he thinking? He never said publicly that he dreamed of the Supreme chair while some observers agree think. Anyway, it will take with him when the time comes. For, even if not "the presumptive successor of the French" after Paul Biya, it weighs a certain weight and his address book national and international levels could be decisive. An asset for a man who was secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic, Minister for nearly two decades and has flirted with the business of oil. Where sometimes decides the outcome of elections in Africa. Although there are some who are protesting. As Bruno Ben Gabon Mubamba who decided to demonstrate outside the headquarters of the oil company TOTAL in France because it would have imposed Ali Bongo of Gabon to the head. Just wait and see.

Indomitable Lions : Method Le Guen! Biagi


There was no indication of a qualification of Cameroon when he arrived, yet he succeeded. Look at the keys to his success



is therefore affirmed. Cameroon does not miss the first World Cup in Africa. Samuel Eto'o and his teammates will go to the football world. After their brilliant victory over the Lions of the Atlas FES where paw Achille Webo and Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon have propelled South Africa. After a breathless suspense. The Indomitable Lions back into effect by far. From afar. End of Pool A with only a point before the meeting in Libreville, accounting for a third day, the chances of qualification of Cameroon appeared compromised. Until the arrival of French coach Paul Le Guen will again raises a wind of hope.

Inheriting a team plagued by personal conflicts and a lack of confidence in Paul Le Guen had to win
First act for the less courageous, he retired as captain Rigobert Song to the dreaded. Sending a clear signal to all those who thought they were indispensable: it will convince to earn his place in the National 11. And this is no longer in 1984 to dictate the choice of joueurs.J 'I just wanted to change certain habits and get some assurances about my working conditions to try to carry out the mission entrusted to me ... Was he remarked in an interview with the weekly Jeune Afrique. The technician then entrusted the French captaincy in Goleador Samuel Eto'o. He explained this decision by the fact that I did not want to leave on the same basis, and the appointment of Samuel as a captain is one of the changes I want to do. Eto'o is a great player, a huge star and I wanted it forges with Cameroon as good a track record with his former club Barcelona.


It then requires a certain discipline in the group. With the players in Paris August 11, 2009, he warned: There will be no favoritism. So ended the night escapades, nightclubs pregame, family visits etc. Blocker. When the players returned to Africa, they are often sought by their relatives or charities, and this may affect the preparation (matches, ed.) It does not forbid everything, but be a little tighter he says.

Finally, Paul Le Guen did not hesitate to inject new blood into the national team.

The rest we know. Victory in a friendly match against Austria, double success against Gabon, Cameroon connects successes to qualification for the African Cup and the world. Combining quality service and win. If

seems to continue the adventure, illustrated by his recent remarks in the press, Le Guen may already be glad of one thing: his method has helped to tame lions who already doubted themselves. While a record.

I Need A 220 Volt Thermostat For My Smoker

Chienku Magnus: "Polygamy has shaped my personality"


trained journalist and author of a first novel, "wisdom of polygamy", he talks about it in an exclusive interview.



You do, with this first novel, you enter the circle of writers. What you led to the writing?


My childhood was marked by a polygamous setting quite unique. I was very affected by conflict of interest in my family. I have written this book to share my experience with others.

You now have 35, why do not you write earlier?


C is true that I have written earlier, but I did not have enough time and inspiration. Having returned to the school (of Journalism after a turn in the business, Editor's note) gave me the opportunity and conditions for writing.

Why the title "wisdom of polygamy?


I chose this title because the whole polygamy is not always bad. It is true that there are conflicts of interest, slander, jealousy and hatred, but something evil is good. Polygamy has shaped my personality. Polygamy has given me the courage early in my life. I learned to take charge and fight to make myself heard and respected. Honestly, if I was not a polygamist family I am perhaps not the man I am today. My daily life in a polygamous household was a school of wisdom (wisdom). This justifies the choice of wisdom of polygamy.


Can you summarize the story you tell in this novel?


is the story of a boy very early and sometimes misunderstood by those around him. A child born after a long wait of 5 years by her mother to the delight of her rival. I describe the atmosphere that reigns in our daily family. I insist on the intrigues of the slander and jealousy of my mother. My father, a weak character, trying somehow to prevail order, peace and harmony in her home. My father, he was intellectual, tries to make the best possible education for her children. In fact, my novel is a sort of snapshot of the realities prevailing in polygamous households in our societies.

Generally, first novels writers reflect a little about their own lives. "Wisdom of polygamy" is he strictly your personal history?


Yes, it is a reminiscence of my childhood, a form of autobiography.

Some polygamous couples do quite well. Is It is no egoism of some spouses or wives that problems arise in polygamous households?


Indeed, polygamy in the father is considered a cash cow for his wives. Women are more concerned with their children rather than the father. Take the example of my mother who did everything to make the most of resources to position my father as much as possible their respective children. This is not a question of selfishness, but a question of realism because there's always the fear of women see their husbands take another wife. This will reduce the resource advantage they can receive. To be honest it is "the stampede." They focus on their children knowing that their happiness will come later for them.


You have chosen to publish your novel published by CLE. What justifies this choice?


CLE

I chose first, because in the publishing field, they have proven themselves. It is the oldest house in our area, known for his professionalism and seriousness. Secondly, CLE is a house of GOD. It is an evangelical center, and as children of God, I naturally felt close to CLE. Our father instilled in us the fear of GOD.

The dedication of your novel takes place this Thursday, November 12, 2009 at the Yaounde Hilton Hotel. What significance do you attach to this ceremony?


is an important ceremony. You know, this is my first book. This is an opportunity for me to thank everyone who helped make this idea takes shape. It is also an opportunity to know the book by the media here and elsewhere in an exchange that I want to fellowship.

Your novel is written in English. Are you aware of the handicap that it is in broadly speaking countries such as Cameroon? What do you do to reach the French readers?


We are aware of this fact and the publisher has already started the translation in French. If all goes well, we have before the end of the year.

Where and at what price can you get your novel?


Readers can buy the book at the bookstore editions CLE or other bookstores around the country. Regarding the price, we took into account the low purchasing power of Cameroonians. The book will be sold at 2,500 CFA Francs.

AYIN René: "There will be free performances in neighborhoods"


The sponsor of the Festival bikusti talks about his festival, which begins today.



Festi-bikutsi begins Monday. In terms of organization, do you feel that this festival will be better than previous editions?
is a wish. We still believe that this will be one of the best editions. We expect a large audience over the programming that we have made. We believe that programming is sufficiently attractive for the public stands to gain. It is sufficiently varied and dynamic. And I think if nothing happens in the meantime, I think The festival will be one of the best.

When is the 11th edition of a festival known as the festi-bikusti, we imagine that the difficulties are less
... We do everything to diminish them. You know that it is the sinews of war is most lacking, we set up strategies for overcoming a number of things that the festival is organized. Necessary and essential elements are already combined. We believe that the festival be held. If we took care to announce, that means we had 75% of the elements that allow us to organize the festival. Problems abound. There are always problems but we try to minimize the margin problems that maximizes the energies that help make the festival successful.



What will the particularity of the festi-bikutsi this year?
The peculiarity of this year, the primary one is the deployment that we're in town halls. We try to involve local councils in organizing this event which is becoming a popular event. We believe that the mayors of Yaounde, the mayors must work together to organize this event in one way or another. That's why we chose to go in 3 halls this year to give lectures and public events with our partner, our sponsor, Les Brasseries du Cameroon, who will deploy as a podium with the material above and artists that will make free services in neighborhoods, in town halls. A mayor of Yaounde 2 to Tsinga, mayor of Yaounde 6 to Biyem Assi and mayor of Yaounde 3 to Nsam

Bikutsi Among the stars of the most prominent of the moment, there will be absent. We talk about Katino, Majoie Ayi, Lady Ponce, Ama Pierrot and others who might be absent. What are the stars who will not be there and why?
ones you mentioned are actually absent. If they succeed in freeing themselves from their business, maybe they could be there but we prefer to tell the public the truth that accompanies us in this festival. We prefer to say that these people crowded curricula. And it may be that they can not be there. Those who are going to surprise return before the time we think we will integrate them because they had already been programmed. Now, their calendar of events outside of Cameroon because they can not be there at that time there because you also know that it's important that artists rub international realities and that is why we work. So we encourage them to continue because we want our artists have competitive performances. That's why it does not bother us that they are not there. They are all heart with us. If they ever have the opportunity to return and celebrate with us, they will be there.

One of the criticisms that are usually done with singers Bikutsi, is that they deliver messages to the sexual overtones and sometimes pornographic. What is your festival to correct this negative perception of Bikutsi?
No, I think this speech has long since changed. What we're really doing is we're trying to make efforts to convey to young artists who come that's not the way of salvation to sing nonsense. Now you can see that the likes of Mamadou Aijo as Bisso Solo, as I mention Uncle Ebogo more, have a discourse that is very special. They have interesting texts and it is them that we are trying to encourage, because when The festival began to be held, there had this problem there. We tried to circumvent it and today I think we are on track. The discourse has changed, are educational texts, the melodies are attractive. I think the orchestration is following. So that's what we're trying to do. Just to orient them so that it goes well.




Sonel Essos The camp is the site of the festival but you say there will be caravans in town halls. Specifically, how will this happen?
Clearly, it will happen as follows: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the shows are free in town halls that we have quoted above. From 16 hours because we start with a conference-debate and we go on the shows. The popular shows are free for us to develop greater convergence of the public. And we return to the camp site Aes Sonel to the opening ceremony of the festival on Thursday. Once we made the opening ceremony, the successive shows up Saturday without stopping. Therefore, shows start at Camp SONEL on Thursday 12 until Saturday 14.

In a recent interview, you indicated that the artists' fees is set at 50,000 francs per evening. At the moment, is what you have already met all the assurances that none of the artists is not going to complain at the end of the festival? It
things that we have resolved a long time. Artists know this. We have no real sponsors. We have no financial support consistent. That is why we prefer to hear the artists for this kind of problem does not arise. I think almost 3 years, we have no such problem. The artists do not complain wil-bikutsi because it is their festival. This is not a festival that is organized to ... promotion of culture. It is they who chose the same. And I think they are with us ... And that's why sending a clear message to everyone that is 50 000 francs. 50 000 francs is not a stamp, it is a participation bonus. So the day we have a sponsor that supports a number of expenses, we pay considerable fees.

So you do not have sponsors ...
Yes, currently we have no sponsors. We have people who join us, partners, but for now we have no real sponsors. But I think it will not be long because that the Brasseries du Cameroon have been with us a while. I think at some point they will understand that we have a serious organization and need to combine the image they Breweries at this festival is a festival that moves and is talked about.

Last question, you probably have ambitions for the festival in the future. Are you with us?
ambitions is to open the festival on the international market as it is a festival that we decided to restructure. In the restructuring phase, we were forced to stop inviting the artists that come outside which cost us dear in terms of airfares, in terms of accommodation, in terms of meals, transport. It's things ... sometimes we think that these are insignificant things but in fact it is not negligible. We need insurance for an artist from where it is for him to come. And he must be opened to Central Africa. Since we are talking about music Bantu. Bantu music are not only in Cameroon They extend over much of Africa. We will give an opening for artists in the diaspora who have something more to us make in relation to their experiences over their careers. So it's a bit like that. And today, we focus on the festive aspect of the festival. I think there is a field research that is important. I think in the future, we can conduct research to identify that all the rhythms that partner with bikutsi.
