Functioning in the Fullness of your Potential

People,

Let me show us something.

King-James-Bible-Online.jpg

2 Corinthians 5:17. King James Version (KJV)

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

What Do You Think of this: 2 Corinthians 5:17?

There is so much POWER and GRACE and MYSTERY and MAGIC packaged in here that it would take sermons and sermons to explicate this ONE COMPLEX SENTENCE.

What Do You Think of this: 2 Corinthians 5:17?

  • Remarks by U.S. Ambassador Robert P. Jackson
    British High Commissioner's Residence, Yaounde
    Your Excellency,
    Fellow diplomats and colleagues,
    Members of the press,
    Representatives of the Government of the Republic of Cameroon,
    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    First off, I would like to thank the British High Commission for conceiving the concept of this award and for hosting us this evening. I am pleased that the U.S. Embassy was able to partner with you on this project and provide some support.
    Second, I would like to thank the Commonwealth Journalists Association, the judges, and everyone else who helped implement the project. To become involved in an effort like this suggests to me that you love this country and have a specific vision for its development. I join you in that vision and I share your optimism.

    Despite occasional suggestions that there is something disloyal or unpatriotic about being vocal, critical, or contrary — we know differently. The mark of a citizen is civic engagement. It is his or her willingness to speak out and stand up; to care passionately and to have the courage to swim against the current when necessary. Doing so is nothing less than an expression of patriotism.

    Third, I would like to congratulate all the journalists who competed for the award, especially the winners. For those who won, I applaud your fine work. For those who did not, I encourage you to carry on your noble work. Sometimes the greatest heroes in our society are those who quietly persevere, even when unrecognized, unrewarded, or un-thanked. Therefore, members of the press — in this room and throughout the country — I recognize and thank you.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, friends, what we are doing here this evening goes far beyond the confines of a writing competition. We are chronicling our respect for freedom of speech and expression. We are also acknowledging the importance of diversity itself. Because there can be no diversity in society without the freedom to express it.
    I am pleased to have with me this evening our Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Cynthia Akuetteh, so that she can witness some of the exciting things that are taking place here — as well as the initiatives of people like you. I believe that freedom of expression has come a long way in Cameroon and the country has made significant strides over the years.

    Undoubtedly, there is much still to be done, but I believe the country is on track. Progress does not happen on its own, however, and it will take a continual and consistent effort to stay the course. For example, several weeks ago a radio station in Bamenda was censored and shut down. I consider such actions to be unhelpful and inconsistent with international standards, as well as incompatible with the government's own Vision 2035 plan of economic and social transformation. Fortunately, incidents like this one appear to be more and more the exception than the norm.

    Permit me to share a few thoughts about the value of a free and professional media in a country's democratization. In functioning democracies, voters hold their leaders accountable. However, for voters to exercise effective oversight, they must have access to accurate information. The public relies upon you not only to convey the news but to identify it. You help shape opinions about what is newsworthy, about what events are significant.
    Furthermore, it rests upon investigative journalists to discover the truth as well as to identify lapses in truth. This underscores the significance of the role you play and the importance of playing that role responsibly. In your positions of greater influence, you must demonstrate greater integrity. You must rise above the fracas of the street, above the banter of gossip, conspiracy theory, and sensationalism. You must be shrewd, thoughtful, well-reasoned, and impartial. Your devotion to truth should supersede any political allegiance or personal bias.

    If public servants err or take a misstep, we face not only legal consequences but public scrutiny. We all know that even if our employer fails to identify a wrong, investigative journalists like you might. I am not just talking about theoretical concepts. I am talking about historical realities with practical relevance, such as Edward Murrow's 1960 investigation of the McCarthy anti-communist hearings; Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's reporting on the Watergate scandal; and Seymour Hersh's 2004 article on torture at the Abu Ghraib prison. However embarrassing and difficult these reports were at the time, they led to change and reform.

    In closing, allow me to once more congratulate you for the work you do, day in and day out. I share your vision of the greatness of this country and its potential to excel. May you succeed in your important work; may you have the space to do so independently and may you have the wisdom to do so responsibly. If Cameroon is indeed a great "construction site," as characterized by President Biya, the structures to be built are not simply dams, bridges, and roads. They are institutions, mindsets, norms, and new realities. And you are among the key builders.
    Thank you.

    Ambassador Robert P. Jackson

>> dishonest not to acknowledge the oppression of opposition parties by the
>> authoritarian regime led by the junta Biya Paul.
>>>>The Social Democratic Front (SDF) is a macrocosm of the more than 200
>>>> political parties that exist in Cameroon, most of which are satellite
>>>> parties of the CPDM.  Opposition parties are supposed to be watchdogs
>>>> for
>>>> scrutinizing and criticizing wayward government decisions, as well as
>>>> providing alternate sense of direction. But in Cameroon, we have an
>>>> ethnically fragmented political opposition desperate to be bought up by
>>>> the Biya regime. Opposition parties like the SDF are experiencing rapid
>>>> erosion of public confidence, increasingly weak internal organization,
>>>> and the eroding of grassroots membership.
>>>>The demise of political opposition parties is due to external and
>>>> internal
>>>> factors that characterized the political environment in Cameroon. The
>>>> first external factor that affect political opposition parties, hence
>>>> forth SDF, is the authoritarian rule of regime junta Paul Biya and his
>>>> coterie. In such authoritarian settings, elections are just placards to
>>>> legitimize the autocratic power of the junta. Elections are just shams
>>>> and does not chose the government, for the junta does; and legislative
>>>> bodies play little or no role. Political opposition parties are
>>>> supposed
>>>> to force the junta to either pay a higher cost for electoral fraud or
>>>> public repression, but not contest to win elections. In fact, stealing
>>>> elections in Cameroon has become too cheap for regime junta Paul Biya.
>>>> The frequently asked question is why would anyone oppose an
>>>> authoritarian
>>>> junta like Paul Biya through elections if they are going to lose
>>>> anyway?
>>>>I would argue that the SDF contested and won the presidential election
>>>> of
>>>> 1992 that was stolen, but the SDF that won the presidential elections
>>>> of
>>>> 1992 is no more. The SDF is now a party without a defined program, and
>>>> fully dependent on the personality of its chairman of 23 years Ni John
>>>> Fru Ndi. The official opposition party is less of a threat to the junta
>>>> Biya, because it now depends on the junta's largesse for survival. You
>>>> cannot benefit from the largesse extorted from the people by a regime
>>>> junta, and still play the role of a relevant opposition. Ni John Fru
>>>> Ndi
>>>> and Mbah Ndam have their tails between their legs, and should both
>>>> resign
>>>> for the good of the party. Let me repeat this again, opposition
>>>> political
>>>> leaders such as Ni John Fru Ndi and Mbah Ndam have their hands in the
>>>> pockets of the person whose hands are in the till; they cannot look him
>>>> in the face and called him the thief that he actually is.
>>>>Other external factors affecting the performance of the SDF is the
>>>> fragmentation of the opposition in Cameroon. The fragmentation of
>>>> opposition political parties is the exact divide-and-rule tactics that
>>>> play into the hands of regime junta Biya. Because most supporters of
>>>> political parties in Cameroon give their loyalty to party leaders and
>>>> not
>>>> party ideology, it is difficult to coordinate the opposition under
>>>> specific ideologies. Most of the time, parties are in the hands of
>>>> elites
>>>> who are the nemesis of democracy in Cameroon. Weak financial position,
>>>> ethnic and regional loyalties; and just like the CPDM, these political
>>>> opposition parties are democratic institutions without democrats.
>>>>The internal failures of the SDF are where one should pay much focus.
>>>> The
>>>> CPDM led dictatorship in Cameroon has failed, but the SDF has also
>>>> failed
>>>> to provide clear, articulate, and coherent alternative policy options.
>>>> Can anyone tell me what the position of the SDF is on issues such as
>>>> the
>>>> strike at the University of Buea, the Herakles Farms debacle, the mess
>>>> at
>>>> Fecafoot, youth unemployment, rising poverty, and the huge balance of
>>>> trade deficits, just to mention a few. The SDF has not only failed to
>>>> provide alternative policy directions, but also cannot tell the people
>>>> of
>>>> Cameroon how it can do things different from the CPDM. In fact, there
>>>> is
>>>> complete mistrust between all political parties and the public. This is
>>>> not good for the SDF, as it needs the people's support to dislodge
>>>> power
>>>> from the regime.
>>>>The nexus between all the failures of the SDF is its leadership. Like
>>>> the
>>>> CPDM, it is the blind leading the stupid, or the stupid leading the
>>>> blind. Given that the man in the driver sit of the Cameroonian economy
>>>> is
>>>> old, worn-out, and blind, we do not need another old and blind person
>>>> to
>>>> replace him. That is why; Ni John Fru Ndi can never be the right choice
>>>> to compete against Biya. The puppet Biya is there for 31 years, and he
>>>> is
>>>> SDF leader for 23 of those 31 years.
>>>>While the party's constitution, ideology, symbols, membership, and
>>>> organization are products the shape its competitiveness, party
>>>> leadership
>>>> is the single most important product. It is the most visible indication
>>>> for what the party stands for, and what it is likely to deliver if
>>>> voted
>>>> to power. This is what Biya and Fru Ndi stand for-outdated leadership
>>>> around retirees.  But almost 70% of Cameroon's population is youthful;
>>>> an
>>>> opportunity for leaders who look and feel like them. They need leaders
>>>> who understand their demands, and not civil dictatorships. We need
>>>> leaders who can isolate themselves from the corrupted crowd.
>>>>Another leadership failure within the SDF is that because junta Biya
>>>> controls patronage and precious state resources, opposition figures
>>>> like
>>>> Ni John Fru Ndi and Mbah Ndam have jumped ship, and are now political
>>>> entrepreneurs servicing the hegemonic Cameroon Peoples Destructive
>>>> Constructive Movement (CPDM). The leadership of the SDF has no
>>>> ambitions,
>>>> other than waiting for elections to extort part of the state largesse
>>>> under junta Biya's control.
>>>>Lastly, the SDF has no strategy to win power from the dictator Biya.
>>>> Strategically, you cannot defeat an autocracy by vying for the same
>>>> vote
>>>> as the autocrat. In the political spectrum the CPDM canvass for votes
>>>> from those in the center. Opposition strategies should be towards
>>>> voters
>>>> at the extremes; so it is important for opposition political parties to
>>>> appeal to dissident groups, social movements, and protest
>>>> demonstrations.
>>>> It is also important for opposition political parties to build
>>>> successful
>>>> coalitions based on a common ideology, respect and trust. This
>>>> coalition
>>>> should be sealed behind close doors before coming out to the public to
>>>> make statements. Recently, we all heard the news of opposition parties
>>>> coming together; the public do not need this kind of information.
>>>> Finish
>>>> your negotiation behind close doors before making any announcements. I
>>>> see these statements as a ploy by opposition political party to say to
>>>> junta Biya, "you better bring
>>  in more money, because we are to form a strong coalition against you."
>>>>The hegemony of the CPDM in Cameroon polity is as a result of electoral
>>>> fraud, biased electoral rules, neo-colonial protection from France,
>>>> voter
>>>> repression and suppression, and the uneven access to state resources.
>>>> But
>>>> the docility of the Cameroon opposition led by the SDF to move away

>>>> their radical anti-status quo position to the status quo position. It
