En la actualidad el impacto ambiental de los combustibles fósiles ha generado la búsqueda de fuentes alternativas de energías como la biomasa de caña de azúcar y pastos forrajeros. Con el objetivo de generar alternativas para la producción de fibra y celulosa similares a la que se obtiene con el bagazo de caña de azúcar, fueron evaluadas a nivel laboratorio seis variedades de Pennisetum purpureum Schumach (OM-22, Camerún, Maralfalfa, CT-115, Roxo y Urockowona) a los 120, 150 y 200 días después de la siembra (dds). Las variedades fueron sembradas en punta y cola en cordón doble en franjas de 5 surcos de 1.2 metros entre surcos y 20 metros de longitud. El suelo fue clasificado como un vertisol con pH de 5.4, textura arcillosa y 2.6% de MO. Los resultados muestran que la OM-22, Camerun, Maralfalfa, Roxo y Urockowona presentaron buen potencial para la producción de fibra y celulosa a los 150 dds, descartando a la variedad CT-115. La variedad Urockowona, presento el mayor contenido de Fibra Apta y Seca (FAS) en las tres fechas de corte, sobresaliendo a los 150 dds con 34.4%; mientras que el resto no superaron el 25% en las tres fechas evaluadas. El rendimiento de biomasa total fue similar en las seis variedades evaluadas en su primer corte superando las 80 t ha-1 en verde a partir de los 150 dds. Se concluye que las variedades Urockowona, Camerun y Maralfalfa son las de mayor potencial para la producción de fibra y celulosa para hacer papel.

A two‑month f ield experiment to study host preference of the leaf‑eating caterpillar, Parasa lepida cramer, on 5 cultivars of hybrid coconut: Green Khina‑1, Brown Khina‑1, Nias Yellow Dwarf (NYD) x West African Tall (WAT),. Malayan Red Dwarf (MRD) x WAT, and Camerun Red Dwarf (CRD x Rennel Tall (RLT), aged 2.5 years, was carried out in swampy area of South Sumatra province, in 1991.
A number of 30 palms, taken at random, from each block of the above mentioned hybrids were studied. Hence, there were 1SO trees observed altogether. The population of larvae per leaf as well as their dwellings in the fronds were recorded to investigate age of leaf consumed.
Results of the study showed that none of the hybrids were resistant to P. lepida larvae. Cultivar of NYD x WAT was attacked more followed by Green Khina‑1, NYD x WAT, CRD x RLT, and Brown Khina ‑ 1. Leaves of half matures of all hybrids were preferred compared to those of the others.

Argaleostatus Gibson, 1995 is synonymized under Lutnes Cameron, 1884 (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Eupelmidae: Eupelminae) n. syn. and its type species, Eupelmus testaceus Cameron, 1884, is transferred to Lutnes as L. testaceus (Cameron) n. comb. The species of Lutnes are revised and six species are recognized, including the type species, Lutnes ornaticornis Cameron, 1884, plus L. testaceus, L. biguttatus (Girault, 1913), and three new species, L. aurantimacula Gibson n. sp. (Ecuador), L. infucatus Gibson n. sp. (Ecuador), and L. afrotropicus Gibson n. sp. (Cameroon). The first five species are based on females from the Neotropical region, whereas the last species is based on a female from Cameroon. This Afrotropical record is the first for the genus outside of the Neotropical region. Males are unrecognized for the genus. Monophyly and relationships of the genus are discussed and the species are keyed and illustrated through macrophotography.

Full textAbstract:
The notion of civil society became popular and generalized in Africa during the 1990s, through the initiatives of international bodies like the World Bank and agencies for international development. In Cameroon, the economic recession caused by the deterioration of exchange rates and falling prices of agricultural raw materials (coffee, cocoa, and co on) has favored the emergence of these actors alongside the state in managing and improving the living conditions of those urban populations. In the field of reproductive health, civil society, through associations, is pursuing public orientation through services of education, promotion, and diffusion. Observing the Association for the Struggle against Violence against Women (ALFV in French) ALFV and Women, Health, and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa (FESADE in French) shows how a health policy is operationalized via endogenous initiatives. This research, which is mainly empirical, was conducted between 2006 and 2009 with institutional health managers and managers of associative structures in Yaoundé and throughout Cameroon. Spanish la noción de sociedad civil se populariza y vulgariza en África hacia los años 90 bajo la iniciativa de instancias internacionales como el Banco Mundial y las agencias de desarrollo. En Camerún, la recesión económica debida a la caída de las tasas de cambio y a la baja en las materias primas agrícolas (café, cacao, algodón) favoreció la emergencia de dicha sociedad paralelamente al Estado en la gestión y mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida de las poblaciones urbanas. Por ejemplo, en el campo de la salud reproductiva, la sociedad civil, en la forma de asociaciones, lleva a cabo acciones públicas a través de los servicios de educación, promoción y difusión. La observación de los ejemplos de la Asociación para la Lucha contra la Violencia contra la Mujer (ALVF en francés) y de Mujer, Salud y Desarrollo en el África subsahariana (FESADE en francés) permite ver cómo se operativiza una política de salud a través de iniciativas endógenas. Esta investigación esencialmente empírica fue desarrollada entre 2006 y 2009 con los responsables institucionales de salud y con los responsables de las estructuras asociativas de Yaoundé y Camerún.

Oignon (Allium cepa L.) est une culture maraîchère présentant un atout économique important pour les paysans Camerounais. Cette étude visait à faire un diagnostic de production de l’oignon dans la partie Septentrionale du Cameroun afin de développer des stratégies d’amélioration durable de cette filière. Une enquête a été menée pour déterminer le profil des acteurs de la filière oignon, les variétés cultivées, les techniques culturales ainsi que les contraintes de production. Les enquêtes s’étaient déroulées en 2017 auprès des acteurs de la filière oignon. L’échantillonnage était constitué de 60 personnes dans chacune des trois régions du Grand Nord Cameroun, soit un échantillonnage global de 180 personnes. Les résultats montrent que la plupart des acteurs sont des producteurs et sont 1,47 fois plus nombreux que les commerçants. 04 variétés d’oignon sont cultivées : Goudami, Chagari, Belami et violet de Galmi. La variété Goudami avait un rendement en bulbe élevé (10 à 35 t/ha), une durée de conservation des bulbes plus importante et est la plus cultivée. La quasi-totalité (69%) des producteurs utilise les engrais chimiques pour améliorer le rendement de cette culture. Ces informations serviront de base de données dans le programme de perfectionnement de la filière oignon au Cameroun.
English title: Diagnosis of onion production in the Northern Part of Cameroon
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a market garden crop that is a major economic asset for Cameroonian farmers. This study aimed at diagnosing onion production in the Northern part of Cameroon in order to develop strategies for onion sustainable improvement. A survey was conducted to determine the actors profile relative to onion sector, varieties grown, crop techniques as well as production constraints. The surveys were conducted in 2017 among actors of onion sector. The sample consisted of 60 people in each of the three regions of Far North Cameroon, for an overall sample of 180 people. The results shown that most of the actors are producers, they are 1.47 folds greater than traders. Four onion varieties are grown in the Northern part of Cameroon: Goudami, Chagari, Belami and Galmi violet. The Goudami variety presents high bulb yield (10 to 35 t/ha) and longer bulb shelf life, and is the most widely cultivated. Almost all (69%) of the producers use chemical fertilizers to improve onion growth. This information will be used as a database to improve the performance of onion sector in Cameroon.

RÉSUMÉ. Ce travail étudie, du point de vue lexico-sémantique, les mots et les expressions sur les timbres-poste. De manière spécifique, il s’agit d’appréhender l’histoire véhiculée par les mots gravés sur les productions philatéliques en circulation au Cameroun pendant la domination allemande, anglaise et française. Sur le plan théorique, cette étude s’inscrit dans le champ de la lexicologie et de la sémantique. L’approche lexicale décrit la structure et la formation des mots en langue allemande, anglaise et française. La démarche sémantique par contre questionne le sens des mots et des discours idéologiques. Sur le plan méthodologique, nous nous appuyons sur un corpus constitué des productions philatéliques. Par le biais de ce corpus, nous focalisons notre attention sur l’interprétation des mots ou des expressions sur les timbres, en mettant en exergue les grandes séquences de l’histoire coloniale au Cameroun. L’intérêt de ce travail est d’interroger l’histoire coloniale sous le prisme des expressions reproduites sur les timbres-poste.Mots-clés : cameroun, colonisation, histoire, lexicologie, philatélie, timbres-poste, sémantique. ABSTRACT. This work studies, from lexico-semantic point of view, the words and expressions on postage stamps. Specifically, it is a question of apprehending the history conveyed by the words engraved on the philatelic productions circulating in Cameroon during the German, English and French domination. From a theoretical point of view, this study falls within the field of lexicology and semantics. The lexical approach describes the structure and formation of words in German, English and French. The semantic approach, on the other hand, questions the meaning of words and ideological discourses. On the methodological level, we rely on a corpus of philatelic productions. Through this corpus, we focus our attention on the interpretation of words or expressions on stamps, highlighting the great sequences of colonial history in Cameroon. The interest of this work is to question the colonial history under the prism of the expressions reproduced on the postage stamps.Keywords: Cameroon, colonization, history, lexicology, philately, postage stamps, semantics.

Abstract Biodiverse Cameroon has been highlighted as the top country in tropical Africa for plant species diversity per degree square, with a higher diversity than all other West African countries added together, and including two of the top documented centres of plant diversity in Tropical Africa. Despite its reduced taxonomic capacity, with only six active taxonomists a high level of botanical activity in the country has resulted in accomplishments such as the databasing of the YA Herbarium (over 60,000 records), which has an in-country collection coverage of almost 95% of the known plant species that are recorded for Cameroon. Other accomplishments are the Red Data Book of the Flowering Plants of Cameroon, several local checklists and published volumes of the Flore du Cameroun which covers 37% of the country's species. Currently the checklist of Cameroon records 7,850 taxa at species and infraspecific level. Resources are needed to support and heighten the profile of this small botanical community. Already thanks to strong collaboration between Cameroon and renowned botanical institutes of others countries, in particular France and United Kingdom, one hundred and thirteen plant families have been published and would help this country to complete the recording of its biodiversity towards contributing to the World Flora Online 2020 project.

Prunus africana (Hook. f.) Kalkman est une plante de haute valeur médicinale qui connait de forte pression d’exploitation au Mont Cameroun. Dans le cadre d’une récolte durable des écorces, deux méthodes d’exploitation (2/4 et 4/8 opposées) ont été recommandées par l’Agence National de Développement des Forêts (ANAFOR) qui est l’autorité scientifique CITES du Cameroun. Cette étude porte sur l’analyse de la soutenabilité biologique et économique de ces méthodes de récolte en vigueur Cameroun. Un inventaire d’exploitation au taux de sondage de 100% dans une parcelle de 100 ha en fin de première rotation (cycle de 5 années), a servi à la collecte des données sur l’état de santé des arbres (mort, vivant, dépérissant), la mesure des diamètres à hauteur de poitrine et le dénombrement de la population d’arbre. Au total 170 arbres ont été dénombrés, ce qui correspond à 1,7 tiges/ha. Dans cet échantillon on compte 84 arbres (54%) exploités à la méthode 4/8. Ce groupe comprend 23 arbres dépérissant (27,40%), 7 arbres morts (8,30%) et 54 arbres vivants (64,30%). Tandis que sur un effectif de 86 arbres (56%) exploités par la méthode 2/4 on a observé 12 arbres dépérissant (14%), aucun arbre mort et 74 arbres vivants (86%). Ces informations montrent que la méthode d’écorçage (4/8) est plus compromettante sur la croissance des populations d’arbre. Elle est également économiquement la moins rentable avec des pertes de 1650 $US comparée à la méthode 2/4 (660 $). La méthode 2/4 a un faible impact sur la santé des arbres, elle peut être améliorée et adoptée comme méthode de récolte durable qui garantit une cicatrisation rapide de l’écorce des arbres et des revenues importants.Mots clés : Plante médicinale, méthode de récolte durable, régénération, aménagement des ressources forestières, Mont Cameroun.
English Title: Comparative analysis of the sustainability of prunus africana (Hook. f.) Kalkman harvesting techniques used in Cameroon: biologic and socioeconomic incidence
Prunus africana (Hook. f.) Kalkman is a medicinal plant with a high socioeconomic value which is facing serious bark harvesting pressure in Mount Cameroon. To ensure sustainable exploitation, two norms (2/4 and 4/8 opposites) was prescribed by the National Forestry Agency (ANAFOR) which is the CITES scientific authority in Cameroon. This study analyzes the biologic and economic sustainability of these harvesting practices. Data collection consisted of trees inventory, measurement of trees diameter and appreciation of tree vitality within a 100 ha plot at the end of the first rotation (five years later after bark harvesting). The sample comprise 170 trees (corresponding to 1.7 trees/ha) amongst which 84 trees (54%) were harvested using 4/8 technic. In this group, 23 (27.40%) trees were found in bad health, 7 (8.30%) trees dead, 54 trees alive (64.30%) and the annual diameter increment was 0.42±0.37 cm while in a group of 86 trees (56%) harvested with 2/4 technic, observation shown: 12 trees (14%) in bad health, 74 trees alive (86%) and annual diameter increment of 0.44±0.36 cm. This statistic shows that, 4/8 technic has a negative impact on trees population and is less benefit with losses estimated at 1650 $US comparing to 660 $US (2/4 technic). The 2/4 technic can be improved and adopted as a suitable harvesting method; since it ensures a fast diameter recovery, low impact on trees population and generate more income.Keywords: Medicinal plant, sustainable harvesting techniques, regeneration, forest resources management, Mount Cameroon.

Full textAbstract:
This article is about the political communication strategies of the Union des Populations du Cameroun (UPC), a political party in Cameroon which fought for the independence of the country. We particularly focus on the communication channels used by the UPC to transmit political messages, in a context marked by severe administrative repression and restrictions of freedom of press and expression. Theoretically, our article relies on the concept of media system. Methodologically, we use text analysis to map the choices of the UPC. The period of analysis ranges from 1948 when the UPC was created to 1956 when the party was banned by the colonial authorities. The results show that the political communication strategy of the UPC mainly gave preference to letter writing to mobilize the masses. In addition, the UPC owned several newspapers to cover its activities and criticize the French colonial administration in Cameroon.

Full textAbstract:
The economic crisis that gripped Cameroon and several sub-Saharan countries in the 1980s called for pre-emptive measures to hold back the calamity. In a desperate need for assistance, they turned to some donor institutions like the IMF and World Bank. In response, the Highly Indebted Poor Countries Initiative was imposed and subsequently modified into Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) where privatization was considered one of the kingpins or principal instruments needed to overturn the hazardous situation. The government of Cameroon was forced to short-list a number of agro-industrial and other state-owned enterprises (SOEs) for privatization among which was the Cameroon Rubber Company, La Société des Héavéas du Cameroun (HEVECAM). It was hoped that the privatization of this enterprise would lead to improved management, increased production and better working conditions. Unfortunately, the privatization of HEVECAM left behind a repugnant image of an enterprise which staggered along the way instigating many discontented workers to agitate against the new order. As such, this paper argues that the privatization of HEVECAM, as in other cases, was not a decisive solution to the revamping and rejuvenation of SOEs in Cameroon. The study reveals that the privatization of HEVECAM amplified the quandaries of the labour force thereby triggering an atmosphere of uneasiness between the workers and the management of the enterprise.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryThe montane forests of western Cameroon are well known for their endemic birds. The most northerly such forests probably occur on Mt Tchabal Mbabo, where a preliminary survey of the avifauna in 1990 found 12 montane species, of which six represented significant range extensions, among them the threatened Ploceus bannermani. Given the increasing human pressures on other montane forests in Cameroon, Mt Tchabal Mbabo may be attractive for future conservation because of its comparative lack of human disturbance. Densities of indigenous people are low and there is a lack of significant hunting and firewood-gathering, the precipitous nature of the northern slope makes human intrusions difficult, and the lack of human disturbance may mean that local animal populations are stable.Les forêts d'altitude de l'ouest du Cameroun sont bien connues pour leurs populations endémiques d'oiseaux. Les forêts les plus au nord sont celles du Mont Tchabal Mbabo, où un recensement préliminaire de la faune aviaire en 1990 a révélé 12 espèces, dont six avaient une aire de répartition relativement grande, y compris l'espèce menacée Ploceus bannermani. Etant donné l'accroissement des pressions humaines sur les autres forêts d'altitude au Cameroun, le Mont Tchabal Mbabo pourrait se réveler intéressant pour des programmes de conservation futurs, compte tenu d'une perturbation humaine relativement inexistante. Les densités de population indigène y sont faibles, et la chasse ainsi que le ramassage du bois pour les besoins domestiques ne sont pas significatifs. Les pentes abruptes du nord rendent difficile toute intrusion humaine, et l'absence de perturbations dues à l'homme pourrait signifier la stabilité des populations animales locales.

Le but de la présente étude est de formuler et fabriquer des suppositoires à visée antipaludique à base de matières premières locales afin d’améliorer la prise en charge du paludisme, essentiellement chez les enfants âgés de moins de 5 ans. Pour faire cela, on a utilisé comme principe actif la poudre de feuilles et tiges sèches de Artémisia annua provenant de la Région de l’Ouest-Cameroun et comme excipient le beurre de karité en provenance de la région du Nord Cameroun puis amélioré à 4% de silice colloïdale. Les essais organoleptiques ont mis en évidence une poudre de couleur grisâtre, de saveur amère et très odorante. L’analyse granulométrique a montré que la poudre de feuilles et tiges sèches de Artémisia annua a une granulométrie allant de très fine à fineLa concentration en flavonoïdes totaux de la poudre de feuilles et tiges sèches de Artémisia annua est de 76,9 μg/ml d’équivalent de quercétine. Les suppositoires à visée antipaludique fabriqués à partir de 250mg de poudre de feuilles et tiges sèches de Artemisia annua et 1820mg de beurre de karité+4% de silice colloïdale ont suivi un contrôle pharmaceutique. Ce contrôle qualité des suppositoires à visée antipaludique contenant Artémisia annua fabriqués en utilisant le beurre de karité comme excipient a donné des valeurs des paramètres physico-chimiques en adéquation aux valeurs standards. La forme galénique issue de cette formule pourrait présenter une meilleure prise en charge thérapeutique des patients et particulièrement les enfants, au Cameroun et ailleurs en Afrique.
This paper focuses on formulating and manufacturing antimalarial suppositories based on local materials in order to improve the management of malaria mainly for children under 5 years of age. Doing it, we used as active principle the powder of leaves and stems of Artemisia annua from Western Cameroon and, as an excipient, shea butter improved with 4% colloidal silica from the Northern Cameroon. The tests revealed a greyish-coloured powder with a bitter taste and a very fragrant one. The particle size analysis showed that the powder of leaves and stems of Artemisia annua has a particle size ranging from very fine to fine. The concentration of total flavonoids in the powder of leaves and stems of Artemisia annua is 76.9 μg/ml of quercetin equivalent. Antimalarial suppositories made from 250mg of Artemisia annua leaf and stem powder and 1820mg of shea butter, enhanced with 4% colloidal silica, have undergone pharmaceutical control. This quality control of Artemisia annua antimalarial suppositories, manufactured using shea butter as an excipient, gave values of the physico-chemical parameters in line with the standards values. The galenic form resulting from this formula could offer better therapeutic management of patients, particularly children, in Cameroon and elsewhere in Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In 1915 troops of the South African Union Defence Force invaded German South West Africa, present day Namibia. In the north of the territory the South African forces captured an African soldier serving in the German army named Mbadamassi. Upon his capture Mbadamassi demanded to be released and claimed that he was a British national from Nigeria. In addition, he stated that he had served in the West African Frontier Force, and that he had been shanghaied into German military service in Cameroon. Furthermore, whilst serving in the German army in Cameroon, Mbadamassi claimed that he had participated in a mutiny, and that, as a consequence, he had been deported to GSWA. The article covers the remarkable military career of the African soldier, Mbadamassi, who between 1903 and 1917 served both the King of the British Empire as well as the Kaiser of the German Empire. In so doing, the article sheds light on the career of an individual African soldier serving in three colonial armies; the West African Frontier Force, the Schutztruppe in Cameroon, and the Schutztruppe in GSWA. The article argues that beyond the fact that colonial armies were institutions of repression, they also provided opportunity for those willing or condemned to serve within their ranks. Furthermore the article provides some indication as to the extent of communication that existed between colonial subjects in the separate colonies of Africa at the time. En 1915, les troupes de l'Union de l'Afrique du Sud ont envahi l'Afrique du Sud-Ouest allemande, l'actuelle Namibie. Dans le Nord du territoire, les forces sud-africaines ont capturé un soldat africain servant dans l'armée allemande nommé Mbadamassi. Celui-ci exigea d'être libéré et revendiqua être un Britannique du Nigeria. De plus, il déclara avoir servi dans la West African Frontier Force et avoir été enrôlé de force dans l'armée allemande au Cameroun. En outre, pendant qu'il servait dans l'armée allemande au Cameroun, Mbadamassi a prétendu avoir pris part à une mutinerie, ce qui avait conduit à sa déportation vers l'Afrique du Sud-Ouest allemande. Cet article couvre la remarquable carrière militaire du soldat africain Mbadamassi, qui, entre 1903 et 1917, a servi à la fois le roi de l'empire britannique et le Kaiser de l'empire allemand. Ainsi, l'article éclaire sur la carrière individuelle d'un soldat africain servant dans trois armées coloniales; la West African Frontier Force, le Schutztruppe au Cameroun et le Schutztruppe en Afrique du Sud-Ouest allemande. L'article soutient qu'au-delà du fait que les armées coloniales étaient des institutions de répression, elles ont aussi offert la possibilité à ceux qui le voulaient ou ceux qui y étaient condamnés de servir dans leurs rangs. En outre, l'article fournit une indication sur l'étendue de la communication qui a existé entre les sujets coloniaux dans les colonies d'Afrique séparées de l'époque.

The royal palace museums of the Grassfields’ Kingdoms of West Region of Cameroon are well recognized for the preservation of culturally significant objects and practices. To date, the role of palace museums in wildlife conservation has received little consideration. Herein, a preliminary study into the animalbased artefacts of palace museums from a wildlife conservation perspective is presented. A total of 11 chiefdom palace museums in the West Region of Cameroon were surveyed and the animal species represented in their exhibitions recorded. Parts of 32 different animal species, including locally extinct large mammals such as lion, cheetah, chimpanzee, and elephant were found. The primary purpose for inclusion of specimens in palace museums was for preservation of culture. However, potential wildlife conservation focused uses to which palace museums may also put their collections are discussed herein.

Les musées du palais royal des royaumes des Grassfields de la région de l’Ouest Cameroun sont bien connus pour la préservation d’objets et de pratiques culturellement significatifs. À ce jour, le rôle des musées de palais dans la conservation de la faune a été peu pris en compte. Ici, une étude préliminaire des collections animales de ces musées du point de vue de la conservation de la faune est présentée. Onze musées de palais de chefferies de la région de l’Ouest Cameroun ont été étudiés et les espèces animales représentées dans leurs expositions ont été enregistrées. Des parties de 32 espèces animales différentes, y compris de grands mammifères localement disparus comme le lion, le guépard, le chimpanzé et l’éléphant ont été découverts. Le but principal de l’inclusion de spécimens dans les musées du palais est la préservation de la culture. Cependant, les utilisations potentielles axées sur la conservation de la faune auxquelles les musées de palais peuvent également mettre leurs collections sont discutées ici.

Full textAbstract:
Even in learned journals on African and imperial history, few references have been made to the records contained in the archives in Cameroon, West Africa. Kamerun was a German colony (Schutzgebiet) from 1884-1916/19. In 1911, the Germans took over New Cameroon (Neu Kamerun), 295,000 km2 of land of French Equatorial Africa, ceded during the second Morocco Crisis. After World War I this transaction was reversed and the German colony was separated into French and British League of Nations Mandates in 1919. These mandates were transformed into United Nations Trusteeships in 1946. Finally, French Cameroun became independent in 1960, and after a plebiscite in 1961, one part of the British Cameroons joined Nigeria and the other part reunited with the formerly French part, now the independent Federal Republic of Cameroon.Due to the involvement of three colonial powers in Cameroon, the national archives in Yaoundé and Buea are an excellent source for the colonial history of West Africa, allowing for a simultaneous analysis of German, French, and British files. Whereas the colonial files in the European archives mainly give us the point of view of high politics, the archives in Cameroon offer a different dimension. The files reveal the intricacies of the colonial system on the ground, and the problems with which the colonial administrator had to cope in the bush: How did one introduce European legal tender in a territory never touched by Europeans before? How did one cope with the colonial rivals, who were couching at the frontiers to take over the territory? How did one attempt to win peoples' hearts and minds day in and day out? What happened when the new colonial power took over a territory with an already developed administration from another colonial power, as it took place in Cameroon in 1911 and 1916/19? The national archives of Cameroon contain potential answers to these questions. Hence this paper will focus on the sources that are available for the colonial period in these archives.

Fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) and southern armyworm (SAW) Spodoptera eridania (Stoll) have become major threats to crops in Africa since 2016. African governments adopted emergency actions around chemical insecticides, with limited efforts to assess the richness or roles of indigenous natural enemies. Field surveys and laboratory studies were conducted to identify and assess the performance of parasitoids associated with spodopterans in Cameroon. FAW was the most abundant spodopteran pest. Telenomus remus (Nixon), Trichogramma chilonis (Ishi), Charops sp. (Szépligeti), Coccygidium luteum (Cameron), Cotesia icipe (Fernandez & Fiaboe), and Cotesia sesamiae (Cameron) are the first records in the country on spodopterans. Telenomus remus, T. chilonis, C. icipe, and Charops sp. were obtained from both FAW and SAW; C. luteum and C. sesamiae from FAW. The distribution of spodopterans, their endoparasitoids, and parasitism rates varied with host, season and location. In the laboratory, T. remus showed significantly higher parasitism on FAW than SAW, and significant differences in the development parameters between the two host eggs, with shorter development time on FAW. It induced significant non-reproductive mortality on FAW but not on SAW. Developmental parameters showed that C. icipe has a shorter development time compared to other larval parasitoids. Implications for conservative and augmentative biocontrol are discussed.

This study focuses on the construction of the history of the Laimbwe people of Cameroon through indigenous methods of enquiry and/or epistemologies. These include analyses of surviving historical objects, sites and artefacts from the pre-colonial period to the reunification of British Southern Cameroons with the Cameroun Republic in 1961. Some traditional items of the Laimbwe people of Cameroon and existing artefacts as well as sites reveal a very rich history with information that Western and conventional research have not vividly captured. In this paper, we reflect on the salience of these sources in understanding the rich socio-cultural and political history of the Laimbwe. There is a need to document this as an indigenous African library in this age of globalisation so that indigenous knowledge systems are disseminated to a wider academic audience. A construction of Laimbwe history through these indigenous forms of the library present them as new perspectives of local epistemologies beyond the capture of the western library introduced into Africa during the colonial period and even before. It continues to shape the way African national and local histories are written based on Western interpretations and or epistemologies.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the adoption of the competency-based approach and the establishment in Cameroon of the teaching of English right from primary schools some twenty years ago, communicating in English is still a difficult task among French-speaking students. The present survey shows that, out of seventy-two students cumulating at least nine years of English studies, only three were able to prove themselves competent in an elementary communication situation that required them to introduce themselves by correctly forming five sentences indicating the following: name, age, date and place of birth, number of years they had been studying English. It seems therefore, that the teaching of communicative English may not have been effective in the Cameron education system whose lack of internal efficiency is also confirmed

Full textAbstract:
The story of freedom fighter Jean Djonteu provides a new approach to the history of Union des populations du Cameroun (UPC) nationalism in the Grassfields and Mungo regions of Cameroon. Within the context of Baham, his village of origin, Djonteu's actions and tracts reveal his politico-spiritual reasons for joining the UPC militia in its revolutionary fight against Franco-Cameroonian state administration. UPC nationalism and village political culture formed a hybrid of political ideologies, or a ‘village nationalism’ articulating UPC anti-colonialism with Grassfields political concepts of nation and sovereignty that pre-dated European occupation. As this articulation disintegrated, Grassfields populations disengaged from state politics and turned inwards towards village political culture and spirituality rekindled by popular involvement in the UPC nationalist movement.

La localité de Meskine à Maroua, longtemps considérée comme une zone céréalière de l’Extrême-nord du Cameroun, est devenue, de nos jours, une région de production de tomate par excellence. Les producteurs de cette culture font face à plusieurs contraintes parmi lesquelles les activités des insectes ravageurs. Dans le but de contribuer à l’amélioration de la production de cette culture, la présente étude a permis d’établir une liste des insectes ravageurs et utiles pullulant dans les champs de tomate. Les insectes, collectés par aspiration et par fauchage, ont été identifiés dans les laboratoires de Zoologie appliquée des universités de Ngaoundéré et Yaoundé I au Cameroun. L’inventaire a montré que les insectes inféodés à la culture de la tomate dans la localité de Meskine à Maroua sont représentés par huit (8) ordres, vingt-une (21) familles et vingt-deux (22) genres. Ces insectes. Bien que la majorité de ces insectes soit des ravageurs, on note la présence de quelques prédateurs et pollinisateurs. La détermination de l’entomofaune de la culture de tomate dans cette localité est un outil qui peut ainsi servir à la conception de stratégies de lutte contre les ravageurs.

English Title: Entomofauna associated to the tomato crops (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) in the locality of Meskine, Far North region, Cameroon
Meskine in the Far North region, Cameroon has long been considered as cereal zone production. This locality has become today a region of tomato production per excellence. Farmers in this locality are faced to many constrains among which activities of insect pests. In order to improve the production of this crop, the present study allows us to establish a list of potential insect pests and benefit insects of tomato crops. Insects collected using aspirator and sweep net were identified in the laboratories of applied Zoology at the Universities of Ngaoundéré and Yaoundé I, Cameroon. The results of our study showed that, insects associated to tomatoes in the locality of Meskine were from eight (8) orders, twenty-one (21) families and twenty-two (22) genera. Although the majority of these insects were represented by potential insect pests, some predators and pollinators were recorded. The establishment of the lists of harmful and benefits insects associated to the tomato crop in this locality can therefore be used to design strategies for the management of insect pests.Keywords: Lycopersicon esculentum, insect pests, predator insects, Maroua

Com o presente trabalho objetivou-se avaliar a produtividade de massa seca e o valor nutritivo de cultivares de capim elefante nas épocas da seca (sob irrigação) e das águas. O experimento foi implantado no IF Goiano – Campus Ceres em delineamento em blocos ao acaso em parcelas subdivididas com 4 repetições. Os tratamentos corresponderam as cultivares de capim elefante Cameroon Comum, Cameroon Roxo, BRS Capiaçu, BRS Canará, BRS Kurumi e Napier e três períodos de rebrotação (45, 60 e 75 dias). Foram avaliadas a relação folha:colmo (F:C), produtividades de massa verde (PMV) e de massa seca (PMS), fibras em detergente ácido (FDA) e neutro (FDN) e proteína bruta (PB). A cultivar Napier apresentou menor FDN na época das águas, maior PMV aos 75 dias e maior PMS, juntamente com BRS Capiaçu na época da seca, enquanto a Cameron, apresentou a maior PMS nas águas. A PB não diferiu entre os tratamentos. BRS Kurumi possui maior relação F:C e maior qualidade bromatológica indicada por maior PB, menor FDA e FDN. O aumento da idade de corte reduz a qualidade das cultivares, sendo em menor magnitude para a cultivar BRS Kurumi. A irrigação na época da seca mantém a qualidade nutricional do capim elefante.
