President Paul Biya’s Peace Crusading : Bilingual Magazine Presents Multifaceted Efforts

Efforts carried out by Cameroon’s Head of State, Paul Biya, thus far in crusading for peace in and out of Cameroon have been carefully packaged in a bilingual magazine for easy public consumption. The 156-page publication, christened, “Hommage à la République”, focuses on “100 Actions of President Paul Biya in Favour of Peace.”
The special edition of the bilingual magazine of analysis and general information revisits multifaceted efforts undertaken by President Paul Biya not only in his country, Cameroon, but equally within and without Africa.  According to an editorial of the Publisher of “Hommage à la République”, Adrien Bonny Eboumbou, peace is an activity and not indifference or passivity.  The “100 Actions of President Paul Biya in Favour of Peace,” he notes, presents the Head of State’s contribution in implanting the values of peace, without which the population’s legitimate aspirations for sustainable development and shared gains would have been a far-fetched dream. 
Articles in the magazine present; through texts and pictures, President Paul Biya’s efforts to make Cameroonians foster living together as well as his many actions within the Central African Sub-region, the rest of the African continent and the world at large. Be it the President himself at the forefront or his government, “Hommage à la République”, paints a vivid picture of a peace crusader who knows no bounds and works tirelessly; sometimes discretely, to create harmony among the living in all corners across the globe. 
The magazine divides the efforts into three sections in what it qualified as: Negative Peace, Positive Peace and the Culture of Peace. The concept of Negative Peace makes reference to conflict and war and how President Paul Biya stepped in to ensure that peace reigns.
