Bamenda I Peace Tournament Kicks Off in Grand Style

By Wirngo Peter Tardzenyuy

The 6th edition of the Bamenda I Peace Tournament was officially launched on Sunday, July 20, 2025, in Bamenda, North West Region of Cameroon. The tournament, which seeks to promote peace and unity among the Bamenda people, was launched under the patronage of the cup donor, Dr. Taniform Peter.

The launch ceremony brought together notable dignitaries, including Mr. Mboh Barnabas, the Divisional Officer of Bamenda I Subdivision, and Mayor Mbigha Felix, the Lord Mayor of Bamenda I Council, along with quarterheads from all 52 villages of Bamenda I. The tournament, which will run for one month, will feature football, handball, and basketball, among other sports.

In his opening remarks, Dr. Taniform Peter expressed his delight in hosting the tournament, which he said has been a platform for promoting peace and unity in the Bamenda I community. He noted that the tournament has its roots in the Unity and Peace Crusade, which started in 2015, and has since spread throughout the region.

"I want to celebrate this day and recognize the efforts of all those who have been involved in this tournament over the years," Dr. Peter said. "My expectation is absolute peace not only for the Bamenda people but also for the people who have come to reside with us here. I want the youths who are engaged in this to take absolute responsibility and know that activities like this can tap a lot of wisdom and impact many nations."

Mayor Mbigha Felix, the Lord Mayor of Bamenda I Council, also spoke at the launch, emphasizing the importance of facing one's fears and standing strong in the face of challenges. "You must always stand to face your fears," he said. "What doesn't kill you makes you strong. And then you become a pillar of your country."

Mr. Mboh Barnabas, the Divisional Officer of Bamenda I Subdivision, expressed his honor in presiding over the launch ceremony. He thanked Dr. Taniform Peter for his sacrifices in hosting the tournament and noted that the event has become a platform for promoting peace and unity in the community.

The tournament kicked off with a thrilling football match between Ntaghang Youths and Bojong United, which Ntaghang Youths won 1-0. As the tournament progresses, it is expected to bring together people from all walks of life, promoting peace, unity, and development in the Bamenda I community while calling on all to ensure peace and massive voters participation in the presidential elections in October 12 2026.

The Bamenda I Peace Tournament is a testament to the power of sports in promoting peace and unity, and it is expected to have a lasting impact on the community. As Dr. Taniform Peter noted, "Sustainability is something that is very important. You don't get peace and then you sleep. I want the peace not only to remain here but to multiply and go beyond the Northwest region and affect the other regions."

Israel and Iran Confirm Ceasefire Agreement, Ending 12-Day War

Israel and Iran have officially confirmed a "complete and total ceasefire" to end their 12-day war, following a surprise announcement by US President Donald Trump. The agreement marks a significant development in the conflict, potentially preventing further escalation and devastation in the region.

According to Trump, the ceasefire will take effect in approximately six hours, allowing both Israel and Iran to wind down and complete their final missions. Iran will initiate the ceasefire, followed by Israel 12 hours later. After 24 hours, the world will officially mark the end of the 12-day war.

The ceasefire agreement was reportedly brokered by the United States, with Qatar mediating talks with Iran. Israel agreed to the ceasefire on the condition that Iran stop its attacks in their country, and Iran accepted the terms, thus ending the 12-day war.

The international community has welcomed the breakthrough, praising the leadership and resilience of both Iran and Israel for prioritizing peace efforts. The agreement's success will depend on both sides' commitment to the ceasefire and a willingness to engage in diplomatic efforts to resolve their differences.

Students Exposed to Real-World Medicine at Bamenda Regional Hospital

The Child Care Development Initiative (CCDI) Cameroon, a non-profit organization, recently took a group of medical health sciences students from the Children Professional Holidays Center on a field trip to the Bamenda Regional Hospital. The visit aimed to expose the students to the realities of working in a medical setting, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge in practical situations.

During the visit, the students were given a tour of the hospital's various units, including the emergency department, ultrasound room, and eye department. Dr. Theodore Tefuh Tebong, who received the students, emphasized the importance of early orientation in helping students make informed decisions about their future careers. "When you start at this stage, you start orienting yourself, and you really go a long way to help them," he said.

Dr. Alfred Wuku Kudi, Director of the Program, highlighted the benefits of exposing students to real-world medical settings. "It's a very good experience for the children, for us to expose them, so that when we want to orientate them, it will be very good for us to give them directives on what to do in life, and they will understand with realities," he explained.

Mme. Nenghabi Miriam, Coordinator of the CCDI Health Department, expressed gratitude to the hospital management for allowing the students to visit. She noted that the students were inquisitive and showed a keen interest in learning, particularly in the ultrasound room. "Some of them were very inquisitive, asking questions about how the ultrasound machine works and what is being used there," she said.

Onlookers were impressed by the students' eagerness to learn. "Many that saw these children were in awe as they wonder at the eagerness in the children who are just between 6 and 18 years old," observers noted, highlighting the potential and enthusiasm of the young students.

The students were impressed by the hospital's facilities and technology. Lobe Ekupajoy, one of the students, was amazed by the advanced equipment but noted that the hospital's wiring system needed improvement. "I've worked and looked at different departments in the hospital, and I was like, wow, Bamenda is very advanced because I've even seen things I've never seen in my life," Ekupa Joy said.

Angwe, a student of engineering, was inspired by the hospital's technology and aspires to create innovative systems. "Coming here to the hospital today was a very big experience for me. I would say from what we have been learning, the different systems we have been looking at in school, it comes to real life, practicals, we see x-ray, radiation, and it inspires me to aspire more," She said.

Another student was fascinated by the eye department and learned about a machine known as the sleep lens. "The most interesting machine I have seen in the regional hospital is the CT scan," the student added.

The visit demonstrates CCDI's commitment to providing students with practical experiences that complement their theoretical knowledge. By exposing students to real-world medical settings, CCD's aim is to better prepare them for their future careers and help them make informed decisions about their professional paths.
