About the ICRC ICRC Activities The ICRC worldwide Focus ... Annual Report Annual Report Yaounde, regional delegation (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe) Introduction The regional delegation concentrated on the promotion of humanitarian law, especially by approaching the governments of the region and requesting that they each designate an official representative of the armed forces or the Ministry of Defence to be responsible for the incorporation of humanitarian law in military training programmes. The regional delegation held a course on humanitarian law for instructors from the armed forces of 10 Central African countries (Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe and Zaire) from 22 to 25 March. Cooperation with the region's National Societies was also high on the regional delegation's agenda, especially as regards the establishment of emergency brigades to provide direct assistance to the population in the event of unrest. The ICRC also cooperated with these National Societies in the fields of information (the production and promotion of periodicals and radio programmes), training, first aid, and community activities such as projects aimed at improving hygiene and neighbourhood clean-up operations. A meeting of leaders of the National Societies of the six countries covered by the delegation was held in Yaoundé in early October to discuss such cooperation programmes, among other matters.

Geographic Map General Information Geography Natural resources ... Sources Cameroon - Security Information Conflict History The independence years were marked by a revolt of the Bamileke, which was finally suppressed in the early 1970s with the help of French troops. In 1982 Paul Biya took over the presidency from Ahmadou Ahidjo, who resigned due to ill-health, and was re-elected as president in 1984. An unsuccessful attempt by an army faction to overthrow the government in 1984 temporarily destabilised the Biya regime. In the following months, however, he moved quickly to reassert control. He was re-elected as president in 1988, 1992 and again in 1997. During the 1990s pressure for the introduction of a multi-party system increased, and was accompanied by intense unrest and instability. The 1997 legislative and presidential elections were accompanied by widespread violence. In 1998 several people were killed in ethnic clashes in north-western Cameroon. Security Situation Relations with neighbouring countries are generally harmonious. The exceptions are a simmering border dispute with Nigeria (the Bakassi Dispute), and with Equatorial Guinea over territorial waters. Both Cameroon and Nigeria are reinforcing their military presence in the Bakassi peninsula.

Framework for Action Participants Organizers Online coverage ... Regional action plan Poor resources hinder academic growth in Ethiopia By Mr. Noel Okoth, All Africa News Agency Ten years ago, Ethiopia joined 155 countries of the world at Jomtein, Thailand and committed herself to universal access to primary education by the year 2000. The country also undertook to eradicate adult illiteracy within the decade, expand education and training in essential skills and improve early childhood care and developmental activities. But despite Jomtein's lofty ideas, many people are still excluded at all levels of education. And this is not because Ethiopia had not been trying. Immense progress has been made characteristically pushing literacy level from less than 35 percent in 1990 to about 65 percent. According to World Bank education researchers, this is no mean task for a country frequently hit by famine and local armed opposition movements. Economic performance is also marred by drought and environment degradation while the current war with Eritrea has not been conducive to Ethiopia's attempts to attain Education for All.

In what way has water been seen as a commodity standing outside "normal" economic theories? Papers will also be presented examining how regional and national control of water resources have been embedded into patterns of economic and political control within and across national boundaries, and has stirred up territorial disputes. The session will also deal with institutional frameworks for solving the disputes over fresh water in different regional settings. Go here to view the abstracts in full texts, theme A
