Egypt secured a record seventh Africa Cup of Nations title, after beating Ghana 1-0. Substitute Mohamed Gedo scored the only goal of the game. The goal made him the top marksman in the tournament with five goals, all of them coming as a substitute. It was also his sixth goal in only eight appearances for Egypt. Egypt held on for their record seventh title and their team and fans celebrated wildly on the final whistle, as the Pharoahs confirmed their status as kings of the Nations Cup tournament. The Pharaohs, who struggled to create many openings through the game, looked unlikely to score as the game drifted towards extra-time - until Mohamed Gedo struck. Since Egypt booted out FIFA's top rank African Team - Cameroon - in the quarter finals it became clear no one could stop them. Egypt has proven the vitality of African domestic league players and continental coaches, with Hassan Shehata in a class of his own...More
Nancy, a second-year student at a local university, blames Facebook for her recent romantic breakup. She created an account on facebook.com last year after learning of the social networking site’s popularity from her friends.What she found on the site was the stuff bad experiences are made of: Her boyfriend, whom she met through the site, kept posting salacious comments on other women’s photographs, and he claimed he was in “an open relationship”. Armed with printouts of his photo comments, she confronted her boyfriend of 7 months. He confessed. They broke up. Winnie, 25, has also experienced Facebook’s power to sour relationships. “The site can be misused and abused. It’s an easy way for guys to try and not get caught. Girls, too. It gives one a motive to snoop. It’s awful and hard to quit,” she says...More
Towards the end of last week, a local bank launched an electronic commerce platform that will enable consumers to make online payments after making purchases from merchants with online shops. The authentication of the transactions will be conducted locally and as a result, consumers will not lose money as a result of foreign currency conversations facilitated by card transactions processed abroad. This bank made a bold step into the future and must be applauded for the strategic investment that they have made. With the introduction of affordable broadband internet in the country due to the landing and connection of undersea cables to the national terrestrial fibre network, some businesses like this bank are moving swiftly to capitalise on emerging opportunities and launching innovative products and services...More

C’était lors de la présentation du logiciel SAGE aux entrepreneurs camerounais.
Par Pierre Alexis Kaptchouang
Le débat était houleux à Yaoundé mardi dernier sur la question du manque de compétitivité des entreprises camerounaises. Une débat qui a permis d’égrainer les indicateurs de la croissance et de la performance de l'économie camerounaise, notamment Le taux de croissance du Cameroun, le chômage, le niveau de pauvreté, le niveau des exportations, le poids du pays dans l'économie de la sous-région, etc…. Le ton est en effet donné par la présentation de Norbert Monkam, président d’Agro Pme et conseiller en entreprise qui diagnostiquera que « le Cameroun représente 50% du Pib de la Cemac, mais son niveau d'échanges avec les autres pays de la Cemac ne dépasse pas 3%. Cette situation est la résultante de la fragilité de l'économie camerounaise en générale qui ne crée pas suffisamment d'emplois ».

Le butin était constitué entre autre de plus de 400 pièces de gibier boucané de morceaux frais de gorille, de sanglier, de gros singes entiers, des crocodiles et pangolins vivant ou morts. Ces espèces sont protégées par la loi de 1994 portant sur la forêt et la faune. La saisie a eu lieu mardi dernier sur l’une des pistes qui relie les localités de Dimako, dans le Haut-Nyong et Bouam dans le Lom et Djerem. Pistes fréquentées essentiellement par les braconniers, selon les déclarations du chef de service régional de la Faune à la délégation régionale du Minfof pour l’Est, Oscar Tchuisseu qui a fait savoir que les fautifs se seraient ravitaillés dans la zone où était installée la société forestière Sebec.
"....But the truth is, these steps won't make up for the seven million jobs that we've lost over the last two years. The only way to move to full employment is to lay a new foundation for long-term economic growth, and finally address the problems that America's families have confronted for years..." "We can't afford another so-called economic "expansion" like the one from the last decade — what some call the "lost decade" — where jobs grew more slowly than during any prior expansion, where the income of the average American household declined while the cost of health care and tuition reached record highs, where prosperity was built on a housing bubble and financial speculation..." "From the day I took office, I've been told that addressing our larger challenges is too ambitious, such an effort would be too contentious. I've been told that our political system is too gridlocked, and that we should just put things on hold for a while...For those who make these claims, I have one simple question: How long should we wait? How long should America put its future on hold?...".......Complete Speech
