“The Vatican has long played a quiet but influential role in peacebuilding across Africa, often acting as a moral authority and a bridge in moments of deep division. A papal visit therefore carries significance far beyond religion. It sends a powerful message that dialogue, reconciliation, and respect for human dignity remain essential foundations for lasting peace. In countries like Cameroon, where faith and public life are deeply intertwined, such a visit can inspire both leaders and citizens to recommit themselves to justice, unity, and the common good.”

John F. Kennedy once said, “The right to speak is meaningless without the courage to use it.”

All the way from Buea, the Master Rhetoric Association proudly brings you the January Debate! This year, the MRA is committed to bringing out the best in the youth of Bamenda through a two-day training program focused on public speaking and debate.

In addition, participants will engage in a mini tournament designed to showcase emerging voices and set the tone for excellence.

Best of all, this training comes at no cost. It is completely free and will take place on the 17th and 18th of January 2026, 8AM daily at the University of Bamenda–PBA04.
