    64e Journée de la femme africaine : les femmes mobilisées pour un assainissement sûr et des communautés en paix

    Le Cameroun a célébré la 64ᵉ édition de la Journée de la femme africaine, placée sous le thème « Action des femmes pour un assainissement sûr, des communes en paix et de meilleures conditions de vie ». Organisée sous l’égide de la Communauté économique des États de l’Afrique centrale (CEEAC), cette célébration a réuni des délégations de plusieurs pays, des membres du gouvernement, des partenaires au développement et des organisations de la société civile.

    En prélude à la célébration officielle, la première édition du Global Africa Women’s Summit (GLAWOS) a offert un cadre d’échanges sur le leadership féminin, l’autonomisation économique, la gouvernance et la paix. Les travaux ont abouti à plusieurs recommandations en faveur d’une meilleure participation des femmes aux instances de décision, du renforcement de leur autonomisation et de leur implication dans les politiques d’assainissement et de développement. Une journée culturelle a également permis de mettre en valeur le patrimoine des pays d’Afrique centrale à travers des expositions, des prestations artistiques, des défilés en tenues traditionnelles et des découvertes gastronomiques.

    Un appel à renforcer l’engagement des femmes

    Lors de la cérémonie officielle, les intervenants ont souligné le rôle essentiel des femmes dans la promotion de l’hygiène, de la salubrité, de la paix et de la cohésion sociale. Ils ont rappelé que l’assainissement constitue un levier important pour améliorer les conditions de vie des populations. Au micro de CRTV Web, plusieurs participantes ont salué la qualité des échanges et réaffirmé leur engagement à mettre en pratique les enseignements reçus dans leurs communautés.

    Instituée en 1974, la Journée de la femme africaine est célébrée chaque 31 juillet afin de promouvoir la contribution des femmes au développement du continent. Cette 64ᵉ édition aura réaffirmé leur rôle central dans la construction de communautés plus propres, plus paisibles et plus résilientes.

    More than 40,000 participants from over 90 countries converged in the United Kingdom for the 60th edition of the Jalsa Salana, the annual convention of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Alton, Hampshire, United Kingdom.

    Held from July 24 to 26, the three-day gathering served as a platform to deepen religious knowledge while promoting peace, unity, and mutual understanding among people of diverse national and cultural backgrounds. Attendees engaged in religious teachings and discussions on pressing contemporary issues, with addresses from religious scholars, parliamentarians, diplomats, and civic leaders underscoring the value of dialogue, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence.

    Cameroon’s Participation and Humanitarian Efforts

    Speaking at the event, the National President of the Ahmadiyya Community in Cameroon, Alhadji Balla Ibrahim Baba, noted that the world is navigating a difficult period, making it essential for humanity to find pathways to peaceful living, regardless of religious differences.

    He highlighted the Community’s humanitarian projects in Cameroon, including the construction of a school in Fulap, Noun Division, West Region, and the drilling of 156 boreholes across nine regions. « We are not all equal, and if people are in difficulties, it is our responsibility, if we have the means, to assist them if we are to live in peace, » Alhadji Balla stated.

    Voices from the Continent

    For Gabourey Souleyman, a participant from Burkina Faso, the convention is a vital avenue for sensitising the world to the urgent need for peace.

    Abdelazeez Duro, from Nigeria, who attended with his nephews, said the values that unite the Community are holding firmly to the « rope » of Allah and seeking the guidance of its spiritual leader. « If humanity as a whole hearkens to the motto of Ahmadiyya ‘Love for All, Hatred for None’ I believe we all can live in harmony, » he said.

    Keynote Addresses by Global Head

    A central feature of the convention was the participation of His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, who delivered keynote addresses on each of the three days. His speeches focused on Islamic teachings and their relevance to addressing modern global challenges.

    About the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

    The report was presented during the concluding session of the 60th Annual Jalsa Salana UK at Hadeeqatul Mahdi in Alton, Hampshire, United Kingdom, before an audience of more than 50,000 participants and guests from over 100 countries.

    According to the report, 267,596 people embraced Islam Ahmadiyyat during the reporting period, with the Community now spread across more than 600 nationalities and ethnic groups worldwide.

    The report also outlines major milestones achieved during the year, including the establishment of 398 new congregations in 811 locations, the construction of 133 new mosques, the acquisition of 49 additional mosques, the opening of 127 new mission houses, and the establishment of 40 new hospitals to expand humanitarian services.

    Presenting the report, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad attributed the Community’s continued expansion to the blessings of Allah and the dedication of Ahmadi Muslims across the world in spreading Islam’s message of peace.

    Regionally, Indonesia recorded the highest number of new members in Asia, followed by India and Bangladesh.

    Beyond presenting the annual achievements, the Worldwide Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community used the occasion to reiterate his call for global peace and justice amid ongoing international conflicts.

  • Forum des Programmes 2026 : la CRTV repense son offre à l’ère du “Digital First”

    Au terme de la plénière de restitution le 22 juillet, consacrée à l’avenir de l’audiovisuel public, les six ateliers thématiques du Forum des Programmes CRTV 2026 ont formulé plusieurs recommandations. Elles portent notamment sur l’innovation éditoriale, la transformation numérique, la production de contenus multiplateformes, l’élaboration d’une charte d’interactivité, la valorisation des langues nationales, l’adaptation des programmes aux nouveaux modes de consommation des médias et le renforcement de l’attractivité de la CRTV. Autant d’orientations destinées à accompagner la modernisation de l’entreprise publique.

    Après deux jours de réflexion, les participants ont remis une feuille de route qui servira de base aux futures réformes. Les recommandations seront examinées par le Conseil d’administration de la CRTV. Le ministre de la Communication, par ailleurs président de cette instance, René Emmanuel Sadi, a assuré qu’elles bénéficieront de toute l’attention nécessaire. Dans son allocution de clôture, il a rappelé que leur mise en œuvre devra concilier trois exigences majeures : préserver la mission de service public et la vocation éducative de la CRTV, accompagner les politiques publiques et garantir la viabilité économique de l’entreprise dans un paysage médiatique en constante évolution.


    Vers une production de contenus adaptée aux nouveaux usages

    L’une des recommandations est de faire évoluer la stratégie de production des contenus. Les participants proposent de concevoir des programmes pensés dès leur création pour une diffusion simultanée à la radio, à la télévision, sur le web et sur les réseaux sociaux. Cette approche vise à mieux répondre aux nouveaux usages des publics et à renforcer la présence numérique de la CRTV.

    Les travaux préconisent également la mise en place d’une charte d’interactivité afin de mieux organiser les échanges avec les publics sur l’ensemble des plateformes de diffusion. L’objectif est de favoriser une interaction plus efficace tout en garantissant le respect des normes éditoriales et des procédures de validation.

    Autre orientation: accorder une place plus importante aux langues nationales sur les antennes nationales afin de mieux refléter la diversité culturelle du Cameroun et de renforcer la proximité entre la CRTV et ses publics. Les recommandations mettent enfin l’accent sur la nécessité de produire des contenus plus innovants, attractifs et adaptés aux attentes des consommateurs, tout en préservant les valeurs de service public qui fondent la mission de la CRTV. Certaines mesures pourraient être engagées à court terme, tandis que d’autres s’inscriront dans un processus de transformation progressif.

  • Discovery of Douala Port Control Tower.

    Beyond the July 11 maritime accident at the Port of Douala-Bonabéri, a key technological asset has come into focus, the port’s maritime control tower.
