00:00Hello to you watching us on the African continent and beyond.
00:20Welcome to the Midday Bilingual News on CRTV and CRTV News.
00:25Sidoine Monkham and me, Gilbert Ongene, I'm delighted to meet you again, Sidoine.
00:55We're going to see this up close in Marois, still in the Far North.
00:59Deaths by drowning in the Logon and Chari.
01:02A boat with 30 people on board capsized at Golfe.
01:06Already 4 dead, fished from the waters.
01:08On site, the search continues.
01:11To follow also in the 12h, the COP 29 meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan.
01:15And the return for Africa with Dr. Brice Dendjok, specialist in questions of financing of green policies.
01:22He's the guest of the 12h.
01:25The first part.
01:26With you, Gilbert.
01:27Absolutely, Sidoine.
01:55business women association.
01:57The over 50 girls in attendance will be empowered on how to follow their dreams and become successful citizens in future.
02:08Statisticians and other stakeholders in Douala are taking part in a roundtable conference to mark the 34th edition of the African Day for Statistics.
02:20The activity that's taking place as we speak is being marked by three exposés, among which is one on the importance of statistics in literacy as a catalyst to sustainable development.
02:33We bring you more updates on this event in our subsequent news editions.
02:40To the Far North region now, where latest information from that part of Cameroon, that's the chief town of the Far North region, Marwa, has it that 27 cholera cases have now been confirmed, including the death of a 5-year-old child.
02:53Diarmuid S.D. or Jean-Marc Ecua Barga is in public places sensitizing people to comply with prescribed preventive measures as the disease spreads rapidly.
03:08Tell from Marwa.
03:11The senior divisional officer for the Diarmuid, educating the population on the dangers of cholera and how to prevent its spread.
03:19Jean-Marc Ecua Barga, who is leading a sensitization campaign aimed at barring the way to a cholera outbreak, Marwa.
03:28The Gakit and other public spaces in Marwa to pass across this important message.
03:34We had to come out and sensitize the population so that they can start implementing measures.
03:40Cholera is a disease that has its roots in dirtiness. We cannot accept that the food people buy and eat will be on the floor and be in unclean places.
03:49With cholera spreading quickly in Marwa, the senior divisional officer for the Diarmuid, Jean-Marc Ecua Barga, has warned that after the sensitization phase,
03:59the authorities will not hesitate to take action against those who fail to comply with the preventive measures.
04:29It is near the village of Marwa, in the area of Goulfey, that the pirogue is on its side.
04:45About thirty passengers arrived on Friday night and Saturday.
04:49After leaving the area of Blangoua for Maltam, the artisanal production pirogue, which transported merchants and their goods,
04:58would have hit a tree trunk.
05:00We do not have a well-defined number, except that we are in an artisanal boat, where the number of passengers is not identified in advance.
05:08This means that there are stops at every moment.
05:11For the moment, we only have one hundred passengers in the boat.
05:16The number of victims has been defined. We only have four so far.
05:21The investigations and identifications are ongoing.
05:25I could say that the situation is temporary.
05:27We will wait for the investigators to tell us in the next few days.
05:32Faced with the waters that have flooded several localities of the Logon Echari,
05:35the pirogue remains the only means of transport for the moment.
05:41The latest information from Marwa in the Far North confirms the resurgence of cholera.
05:47Already 27 confirmed cases, one of which is a 5-year-old child.
05:51The awareness on the measures of hygiene is accentuated on the ground.
05:55The prefect of Diarmaré, Jean-Marc Ekouambarga, conducted operations in public places, markets and roadside stations
06:02to inject a few drops of preventive measures.
06:06Let's make the point with Asaf Yedna from Sia TV.
06:10The prefect of Diarmaré, Jean-Marc Ekouambarga, conducted operations in public places, markets and roadside stations
06:19to inject a few drops of preventive measures.
06:28The disease has already been declared.
06:30We must raise awareness among the population so that they start taking preventive measures
06:35to avoid contracting the disease.
06:38Cholera is a disease of dirtiness.
06:40The first rule to avoid cholera is cleanliness.
06:44We must admit that the food that people want to eat must be placed on the ground.
06:49Expressing themselves in front of the population, the prefect saluted the efforts made by the medical staff
06:55and the commitment of the government to accompany the patients.
06:59The few diseases that have been declared have been taken care of by the government, by the state,
07:05but we don't want the number of patients to increase.
07:09That's why we are raising awareness.
07:11As the campaigns for awareness continue, the prefect of Diarmaré, Jean-Marc Ekouambarga,
07:18has warned that sanctions will be applied to households and businesses that neglect hygiene instructions,
07:25especially in terms of waste management.
07:29You are watching 12h on CRTV.
07:31Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being with us.
07:33The National Convention of Banks and other financial institutions of Cameroon
07:38was signed this morning by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, as you can see.
07:46The documents were approved by the members of the Professional Association of Credit Institutions of Cameroon
07:52and the representative of the trade unions.
07:54The documents, which emphasize the wage grid, transport and housing,
07:59have been handed over to the Minister of Labour and Social Security, Grégoire Aounar.
08:05We will come back in more detail on this news in our next editions.
08:10It is time for us to focus on the Western region.
08:13The cultivation of poultry in its commercialization is a particularly profitable activity in this part of the country,
08:22which remains a large production basin,
08:25only because of the rarity of food intended for the nutrition of these animals.
08:31Sales prices have soared recently.
08:35The actors of the aviculture industry explain the reasons in this report by Emmanuel Koloukou.
08:42Bafoussame, like most big cities in the West, is a poultry farm.
08:48The sale of chicken is a widespread activity.
08:51Only in the Casa market, as in most markets in the city,
08:55business seems to be more prosperous and merchants are holding out.
08:58I didn't sell anything. Here it is, from left to right.
09:01It costs a little expensive and there are no buyers, because the food is expensive.
09:06The sheep cannot be sold to lose.
09:08The price is currently 4,500, while at first it was 3,000, 3,500 at most.
09:15The reasons for this increase are the nutritional inputs.
09:19Poultry has become expensive and breeders are desperate.
09:24There is a strong increase.
09:26For example, the sale of corn, which we bought at 2,500, currently costs 6,000 francs.
09:32The chicken sold at 19,000 francs currently costs 30,000 francs.
09:40When you feed the chicken at 4,500 on the market, I can't sell it at 4,000.
09:46Many are forced to liquidate their products so as not to lose everything.
09:50When you can't get your money back, you have to let go of the chicken and there is no way to get it back.
09:55Meanwhile, the chicken is very present in the menu of the city's restaurants,
09:58without offering the desired benefit by the actors of the industry.
10:04Let's talk now about the COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan,
10:08and especially about the return for Africa with our guest on the set,
10:12Dr. Briz Ndiok, specialist in financing issues and climate policies.
10:18Hello doctor and welcome.
10:20Hello, thank you for having me.
10:22So, Africa occupies the first row, the last row of the world's top polluters,
10:28but pays a high price and has a hard time being accompanied.
10:32How do you understand that?
10:34Yes, indeed, Africa only accounts for 4% of global emissions.
10:38But so far, it is less affected than any other region of the planet,
10:44even though it suffers the most from a phenomenon that it has not contributed to create.
10:49To understand it, we simply have to remember that the COPs,
10:53like the one that is currently taking place,
10:55are forums during which the interests of the states are expressed.
10:59And it turns out that Africa, which needs to adapt,
11:02since it suffers the most from it,
11:04has a hard time convincing developed countries.
11:07Why? Because developed countries do not have a direct interest in financing adaptation in Africa.
11:13When France finances the construction of a dig, for example,
11:17in the Far North, to contain possible floods,
11:20this dig does not benefit France directly.
11:23So France does not perceive a direct interest in financing it.
11:26On the other hand, Africa is interested in developed countries
11:29for the potential they represent in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
11:33which allow all countries to benefit from it.
11:37Because when Africa, or the countries of the Congo Basin, preserve their forests,
11:42this contributes to reduce emissions and thus to generate a stable climate
11:47that the whole world can benefit from.
11:50This is why you will see that in the structuring of climate financing in Africa,
11:56the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions attracts more funds
12:00than the adaptation or resilience of African countries.
12:03Let's talk about this advocacy.
12:05The advocacy for the compensation of the African continent
12:10on the pollution and the fact that the African continent
12:14is containing and conserving the Congo Basin,
12:17which is one of the lungs which the world uses to breathe.
12:23At what level is this lobby at the moment?
12:26It is difficult to make sure that developed countries
12:31take that potential into consideration
12:35and compensate Africa for the effort it is making to preserve its forests.
12:42But that takes diplomacy.
12:47And the question is, how can African countries harness that potential
12:52to draw more attention from developed countries?
12:58Gabon, for example, has succeeded in doing that.
13:02Gabon has limited its deforestation
13:06and from that, Gabon has benefited from a huge amount of money
13:13which it can use now to finance its adaptation or resilience to climate change.
13:19The weak point of this, the weak link,
13:21is it not the fact that African countries are not forming a bloc?
13:24We are talking about 54 countries.
13:26Forming a bloc is another challenge
13:28because even within African countries,
13:31climate change does not pose the same challenge.
13:35In Central African countries, we have forests.
13:41In North African countries, we have deserts
13:44and not exactly the same reality.
13:50So, trying to homogenize all these perspectives
13:55is very difficult for Africans to speak with one voice.
13:59So, Africa has a global contribution of $1.3 billion,
14:05a amount that is not enough.
14:07What can this money be used for?
14:09I said earlier that Africa needs to adapt to the consequences of climate change
14:15because the low level of development in Africa
14:20exposes it more than any other developed country
14:24to the consequences of climate change.
14:26This means that the priority to finance is adaptation.
14:30So, this $1.3 billion asked by Africa
14:34aims to finance its adaptation to climate change.
14:37It is the most urgent.
14:38So, I would say that this money should go
14:40in the strengthening of the resilience of infrastructures
14:44or in the orientation, in the financing of development policies
14:48that could make African countries more resilient
14:50to the consequences of climate change.
14:52But the big problem is also to bring these great powers to give this money.
14:58The problem is that the great powers...
15:00What is there to do then, at this moment?
15:02There is a place, I said earlier,
15:04there is a place to mobilize, to exploit,
15:07to think about the possibility of contributing
15:10the natural potential that African countries have.
15:13It is possible to...
15:15It is a place of merchandise, the COP.
15:17It is possible to link our limitation,
15:23the preservation of our forests,
15:26to the arrival of funds for adaptation.
15:29It is not as simple as that,
15:31but it is a question of technically setting up a strategy
15:36that we can sell to developed countries
15:38to convince them to take part in this.
15:41Let's come back to Cameroon.
15:43At the level of Cameroon,
15:44Cameroon is represented at Hyderabad, Baku,
15:49at that COP29 summit.
15:51Tell us, the voice of Cameroon is being heard there?
15:55I am happy that in Baku,
15:59we have the Ministry of External Relations
16:01and the Ministry of Environment
16:03and the Ministry of Forests
16:05and all the sectoral administrations.
16:08It means that there has been a synergy
16:11at the basis of us taking part in that event.
16:18That synergy can be reinforced
16:21for us to harness the opportunity
16:24in those international climate negotiations.
16:29Thank you, Dr. Brice Denjok,
16:31specialist in climate policy financing.
16:34Thank you for all your insights.
16:38You stay with us.
16:39The rest with you, Gilbert.
17:04President of the Association of Professional Establishments
17:07in the Banking Sector, Gwendolyn Abuno,
17:10now highlights the terms of the bargaining agreement
17:13in the following excerpt.
17:17The convention that was signed today
17:20is a great achievement
17:21because we had initially planned
17:24to revise this convention every 10 years,
17:27the last one being in 2009.
17:30We began the process in 2019
17:33and it has taken us five years to finalize
17:36because of the different national and international events
17:40that occurred in this time.
17:42So today we have been able to conclude
17:45on setting adjustments to the salaries of our workers,
17:48to the benefits that they receive,
17:51as well as the integration of some new sectors or segments
17:56that were previously not taken into consideration.
17:59We have also been able to do adjustments
18:02to take into consideration degrees that our workers have gotten
18:06or certifications that they have gotten in the interim
18:09so that they can be more valued
18:11in how they exercise their work within our institutions.
18:16Let's now take you to the Northwest region.
18:18Former students of Government Bilingual High School Mbengui
18:21in Momo Division of that part of Cameroon
18:24have officially handed over their jubilee projects
18:27worth over 60 million CFA francs to the school.
18:30The projects include boreholes, equipment for the science laboratory
18:34and support to outstanding students.
18:37Ola Titanki reports on the golden jubilee celebration
18:40of Government Bilingual High School Mbengui.
18:44These are former students of Government Bilingual High School Mbengui,
18:49the pioneer school in the subdivision
18:52that opened its doors in 1973 with 92 students.
18:58The institution, since inception,
19:00has been grappling with water and electricity challenges,
19:03reason why they have come to give back to their school.
19:07To avoid problems of health for the students drinking dirty water,
19:12we should provide that borehole.
19:14We also provided laboratory materials to encourage sciences.
19:18We had to buy cleaning machines for the institution.
19:23The officials of the institution describe the donation as a dream come true,
19:28stating that it will ameliorate conditions.
19:46As the former students celebrate 50 years of the institution,
19:50they have pledged to transform the school
19:53and bring it back to its glorious days.
19:57Now to the Adamawa.
19:5960 unemployed youths in Gaon,
20:01the age between 15 and 25,
20:03have been rescued by the police after falling victim
20:06to a fraudulent online offer from a scam group.
20:09Each of the 60 victims paid 650,000 CFA francs,
20:13believing they were securing a genuine job opportunity,
20:17only to later realize they had been deceived.
20:20Sadu Yaoba narrates the story from Gaondere.
20:48The police went on the spot
20:50and discovered that the center is not official.
20:53We are going to accompany them,
20:55carry out our investigations,
20:59and we are going to send back to their families.
21:03Gaondere is a junction, so we have to secure our region.
21:08Each of the 60 paid 650,000 CFA francs,
21:13totaling 39 million.
21:16The governor's call for vigilance
21:18serves as an important reminder
21:20to verify job offers carefully
21:23and only trust reputable sources
21:26before making financial commitment.
21:30The follow-up of the newspaper in the south
21:32and of the apprehended by law
21:34with motorcycles, weapons, and psychotropic products in Ebola.
21:38This is the result of the operation of blocking
21:40carried out on the first hours of last Friday
21:42by the elements of the police company.
21:45The objective is to strengthen the security measures
21:47of the people and their property
21:49on the eve of the end of the year.
21:51Let's meet Christian Blondelabia in Ebola.
21:55Another operation is underway
21:57in the corners and outskirts of the regional capital of the south
22:00and its surroundings.
22:01Following the signal of the cases of incitement,
22:03the men in red berets engaged a patrol
22:06while the sun was rising.
22:08The descent was carried out under the direction
22:10of Lieutenant Flavie Elongela,
22:12commander of the Ebola gendarmerie company,
22:15allowed to put the malnourished suspects out of harm's way.
22:18Military detainees were arrested,
22:20a good amount of cannabis,
22:2226 motorcycles,
22:23about 20 people,
22:24100 pieces of identity,
22:25two years of artisanal manufacturing.
22:27All this was done in the construction sites
22:29of Ebola 1st and Ebola 2nd.
22:31The leaders of the territorial brigades
22:33and many other units received as orientation
22:36the work in synergy, including all citizens.
22:39Limit the great banditry.
22:41We continue to encourage the population to collaborate.
22:44Already, they collaborate.
22:45This is the reason why we carried out
22:47this operation successfully today.
22:49This activity is part of the blockade program
22:52instructed by the Secretary of State
22:54in charge of the National Gendarmerie.
22:56The research continues at the regional level
22:59thanks to Colonel Terrence Sama,
23:01commander of the Southern Gendarmerie Legion.
23:05The 10th edition of the Festival des Arts et de la Culture
23:09was held on the weekend in Douala.
23:12The competition lasted about a week,
23:156 days to be precise,
23:17during which the students produced themselves
23:20in about 20 artistic disciplines.
23:22Mélanie Bilor of Sea TV Littoral tells.
23:27After 6 days of competition
23:29in 22 artistic disciplines,
23:31the Universities of Douala,
23:33Yaoundé 1 and Yaoundé 2,
23:35won the majority of the trophies
23:38at the end of the 10th edition
23:40of the Festival des Arts et de la Culture.
23:43Closing the event in Douala,
23:45the Secretary General of the Ministry of Higher Education,
23:48personal representative of the Minister of State,
23:51Minister of Higher Education,
23:53Professor Wilfried Gapsa,
23:55appreciated the presence of nearly 1,500 young people
23:58from 17 public and private universities
24:01who used their know-how
24:03to promote the rich cultural diversity of Cameroon
24:06and especially the peaceful coexistence.
24:09The Ministry of Higher Education
24:11is satisfied by the performance
24:14of the students.
24:16We hope that with this talent
24:18they will be able to create their businesses.
24:20Dressed in different traditional costumes
24:22of the 10 cultural airs of the country,
24:24the students-artists
24:26said goodbye to the authorities
24:28as well as to their father
24:30through a parade,
24:32branding their price.
24:34An enriching and exciting experience
24:36for most of them.
24:38It was very enriching
24:40and I think it's one of the best editions
24:42as a comedian.
24:44It allowed me to grow
24:46in terms of experience.
24:56Now to the West Region
24:58to discover a spiritual and tourist destination
25:00called Mount Lea.
25:02Every year, thousands of people
25:04from the West Region and beyond
25:06converge on the site
25:08that offers a picturesque landscape
25:10and a serene atmosphere
25:12perfect for meditation.
25:14Here is Kelvin Nembu
25:16with the unravelling
25:18of that mythical site
25:20in Bakwa Subdivision
25:22in the Upper Nkam, West Region.
25:24It is much more
25:26than just a place of worship.
25:28Mount Lea
25:30towering majestically
25:32over the chapel
25:34of the eponymous parish
25:36of Saint Peter and Paul
25:38with a latitude of over 600 metres
25:40in Baku.
25:42For many people,
25:44it is a veritable heaven of peace
25:46and an oasis of spirituality.
25:48Father Federick Njoye,
25:50parish priest
25:52of Saint Peter and Paul
25:54said,
25:56those who come here will confess
25:58that they have full network
26:00to connect with the Mosai God
26:02in all tranquility
26:04as you follow the winding path
26:06to the peak of Mount Lea.
26:08You are being swept away
26:10by the beauty of the landscape.
26:12Here, nature reigns supreme.
26:14Time seems suspended.
26:16Worshippers
26:18pray the 14
26:20stations of the cross.
26:22Given that thousands
26:24converge on the mountain annually,
26:26the Municipal Council
26:28has undertaken a series of projects
26:30to develop the area.
26:32This involves the construction
26:34of roads and a municipal hotel
26:36at the foot of the mountain
26:38to meet the accommodation needs
26:40of pilgrims and tourists alike.
26:42Mount Lea
26:44is located about one kilometre
26:46from Baku's central town
26:48in the Upankham
26:50West Region of Cameroon.
