The Making, Unmaking and Remaking of Africa’s Independence and Post-Independence Constitutions
Anglo-Saxonism and Gallicism in Nation Building in Africa: The Case of Bilingual Cameroon and the Senegambia Confederation in Historical and Contemporary Perspective
This article is a comparative study of the impact of the colonial presence in nation building in Africa. The author argues that the colonial presence created identity markers and mindsets which sometimes facilitated but most of the time complicated the nation-building endeavours of African statesmen. The inherited Anglo-Saxon values and Gallic legacies in bilingual Cameroon on the one hand, and Senegal and The Gambia, which is located inside its …

Since September 2017, the English-speaking peoples of the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon have been subjected to unprecedented repression of genocidal dimension by the Biya regime that needs to be unpacked. What precisely led to this ugly situation which has come to be known as “the Anglophone problem?” This article sets out to lucidly capture the Anglophone problem in such a way that it is seen as a legitimate, legal, authentic and c…
Quatron-polaritons: Charged quasi-particles having the bosonic statistics
Negatively charged quatrons are quasi-particles composed of a hole and three electrons in a semiconductor. In bulk semiconductors they are unstable. We show that they become stable if coupled to light in specially designed triple quantum layer structures embedded in microcavities. Due to an extremely small effective mass, charged quatron-polaritons can form a superfluid at high temperatures. This opens up a breathtaking perspective on optically i…

This political turmoil was the handiwork of French administrators, who indulged themselves in the uphill task of exterminating anti-French Cameroonians. Prime Minister Ahidjo used the turmoil as a pretext to obta…

It is argued in this essay that reunification was a minority ideology c…
