Fatherly Move

In All forms of problem-solving, no matter the degree of tension, a fatherly approach to the task at hand is vital.

Before the several appeals for dialogue in the handling of the ongoing socio-political crisis affecting the North West and South West regions started flooding the press and other mediation fora, many people had been wondering why the Cameroon Head of State had not addressed the nation on such a burning issue concerning the security and unity of the State. Some even thought that the Cameroon Head of State might have classified it a none event. They were mistaken. President Paul Biya in his unpredictable style of reaction to events he confronts in administration, was taking his time to act after reflection and concertation.

Time devoted to this phase of problem-solving is never time wasted provided the right decisions in the interest of the masses are taken. In the face of the issues at hand and the rationale of prudence, the importance of wisdom, intelligence and political experience cannot be undermined.

That is why he effected the redress measures that were not only appreciated by the professionals concerned, but also by those who wanted to see the strike action by Common Law lawyers and teachers ended and peace reigning.

President Biya made clear his commitment when he said, “since the outbreak of the crisis, I have spared no effort with the help of Cameroonians of good will in seeking ways and means for its peaceful resolution.”

With this declaration, the Cameroon Head of State assured Cameroonians of his determination to see that the disturbing issues concerning Cameroon are handled with care and redressed. More assurance emerged when he said, “I intend to work relentlessly with all the sons and daughters of our country towards the challenges we are facing in order to improve the welfare of our population” What a commitment!

This improvement and welfare, we know, can only be assured if there is peace in the country. And,
