Regional councils are, nominally, the governing bodies of the regions of Cameroon. As defined by the Constitution of Cameroon, the councils have control of cultural, economic, educational, health-related, social, and sport-related issues in the regions. The members of each council are delegates indirectly elected by the populace and traditional rulers selected by their peers. Each council is headed by a president, who is elected by the members from among their own ranks. Members serve five-year terms.
Each council is advised by members of parliament from the area and by an administrator appointed by the president of Cameroon. This individual acts at the president's personal representative and wields considerable power. The president of Cameroon reserves the right to disband any regional council he so chooses.
The regional councils were created by Cameroon's constitution of 1996 in response to agitation for a return to a federal system of government or increased decentralisation. However, the councils have yet to be established in reality, and the regions established by the constitution are still known as provinces and are headed by presidentially appointed governors.
Regional councils (Hebrew:מועצה אזורית, Mo'atza Azorit) are one of the three types of local government entities found in Israel and the West Bank, with the other two being cities and local councils. As of 2003, there were 53 regional councils, usually responsible for governing a number of settlements spread across rural areas. Regional councils include representation of anywhere between 3 and 54 communities, usually spread over a relatively large area within geographical vicinity of each other.
Each community within a regional council usually does not exceed 2000 in population and is managed by a local committee. This committee sends representatives to the administering regional council proportionate to their size of membership and according to an index which is fixed before each election. Those settlements without an administrative council do not send any representatives to the regional council, instead being dealt by it directly. Representatives from those settlements which are represented directly are either chosen directly or through an election. The predominant form of communities represented on regional councils are kibbutzim and moshavim.
Cameroon holds first regional election amid opposition boycott
Cameroon is holding its first-ever regional election, which the government says hands more power to the provinces but the opposition boycotts as a sham.
In Sunday’s indirect polls, a 24,000-strong electoral college made up of regional delegates and traditional chiefs will vote to fill the posts of 900 regional councillors – 90 for each of the country’s 10 regions – putting into action a 1996 law that promised a decentralised government but was never enacted.
The municipal councils will have a say over development, including infrastructure such as roads, but they will not be able to alter laws enacted by the national assembly and the senate in the country’s capital, Yaounde.
President Paul Biya’s government sees the polls as a step towards greater regional autonomy, hoping they will appe...

CHIEF EXECUTIVES BOARD
Tomorrow, the Secretary-General will bring together the heads of the UN system organizations in a virtual meeting of the Chief Executives Board. They will reflect on the main characteristics of a post-pandemic world and brainstorm on possible key elements of a Common Agenda report the Secretary-General has been asked to submit to the General Assembly. This follows the adoption of the 21st September 2020 Declaration on the Commemoration of the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of the United Nations.
The Chief Executives Board members will discuss common approaches to an inclusive, networked multilateralism. They will also deliberate on salient emerging trends, opportunities and challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the risks for human rights, global economic prospects, deepening inequalities and climate action.
CAMEROON
The Secretary-General is deeply concerned by reports of violence against schools, students and teachers in the North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon. This took place earlier this week on the 3rd and 4th of November. These reported attacks deprive children of their right to an education. These reports come on the heels of the horrific attack on a school in Kumba, in the South-West Region on October 24th, in which many children were killed and several others wounded.
The Secretary-General stresses the need for accountability of all these acts of violence against children and education facilities and reiterates his call on all armed actors to refrain from attacks against schools and to respect international humanitarian and international human rights law. He further urges the Cameroonian authorities to swiftly investigate all attacks on schools and bring the perpetrators to justice. Attacks on education facilities are a grave violation of children’s rights.
He strongly urges the parties to answer his call for a global ceasefire and reiterates the availability of the UN to support an inclusive dialogue process leading to a resolution of the crisis in the North-West and South West areas of Cameroon.
The UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Cameroon, Matthias Naab, also issued a statement condemning the attacks.
He said these incidents are part of a pattern of violence against education facilities and personnel, as well as kidnapping for ransom of children and teachers in the North-West and South-West.
OCHA
The Emergency Relief Coordinator, Mark Lowcock, says this week we have lost six humanitarian workers in targeted violent attacks in Somalia, in two separate incidents in South Sudan, and in Northwest Syria.
This cannot be tolerated, he said in the statement. Attacks directed against humanitarians are a violation of international humanitarian law and an obscene act against people working hard, often in extraordinarily difficult circumstances, to help vulnerable people.
Mr. Lowcock said that those who commit these atrocities must be held to account. Governments must investigate these killings and prosecute the suspects where appropriate. International humanitarian law must be upheld.

Episode 24 Eran Doron - Ramat Negev Regional Council Mayor in Southern Israel
Eran is the Ramat Negev Regional Council of Southern Israel. The largest jurisdiction of land in Israel with the smallest population. Eran has been busy in his four years at the helm of the local municipality. The constant struggle of keeping the feel of the desert alive with constantly improving the lives of the citizens who live there. The demographics of the region are interesting in that it is a 50/50 split between Jews and Bedouin Arabs.
We talk about why Eran moved to the Negev, the challenges of dealing with Jerusalem, the Israel Defense Force training area, and the integration of the Bedouin population into mainstream Israeli society.
This is part of the Negev series within the Israel podcast series on the podcast.

The authorities are in many ways lacking authority, ” Haass explains. “I think that you’ve got a terrible situation where diplomacy is not going to make any progress, and the situation on the ground, as we’ve seen, is likely to deteriorate.”

Cameroon is holding its first-ever regional election, which the government says hands more power to the provinces but the opposition boycotts as a sham.
In Sunday’s indirect polls, a 24,000-strong electoral college made up of regional delegates and traditional chiefs will vote to fill the posts of 900 regional councillors – 90 for each of the country’s 10 regions – putting into action a 1996 law that promised a decentralised government but was never enacted.
The municipal councils will have a say over development, including infrastructure such as roads, but they will not be able to alter laws enacted by the national assembly and the senate in the country’s capital, Yaounde.
President Paul Biya’s government sees the polls as a step towards greater regional autonomy, hoping they will appease critics who say he has long neglected the country’s regions and help end a four-year separatist conflict in the English-speaking western region.

CHIEF EXECUTIVES BOARD
Tomorrow, the Secretary-General will bring together the heads of the UN system organizations in a virtual meeting of the Chief Executives Board. They will reflect on the main characteristics of a post-pandemic world and brainstorm on possible key elements of a Common Agenda report the Secretary-General has been asked to submit to the General Assembly. This follows the adoption of the 21st September 2020 Declaration on the Commemoration of the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of the United Nations.
The Chief Executives Board members will discuss common approaches to an inclusive, networked multilateralism. They will also deliberate on salient emerging trends, opportunities and challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the risks for human rights, global economic prospects, deepening inequalities and climate action.
CAMEROON
The Secretary-General is deeply concerned by reports of violence against schools, students and teachers in the North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon. This took place earlier this week on the 3rd and 4th of November. These reported attacks deprive children of their right to an education. These reports come on the heels of the horrific attack on a school in Kumba, in the South-West Region on October 24th, in which many children were killed and several others wounded.
The Secretary-General stresses the need for accountability of all these acts of violence against children and education facilities and reiterates his call on all armed actors to refrain from attacks against schools and to respect international humanitarian and international human rights law. He further urges the Cameroonian authorities to swiftly investigate all attacks on schools and bring the perpetrators to justice. Attacks on education facilities are a grave violation of children’s rights.
He strongly urges the parties to answer his call for a global ceasefire and reiterates the availability of the UN to support an inclusive dialogue process leading to a resolution of the crisis in the North-West and South West areas of Cameroon.
The UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Cameroon, Matthias Naab, also issued a statement condemning the attacks.
He said these incidents are part of a pattern of violence against education facilities and personnel, as well as kidnapping for ransom of children and teachers in the North-West and South-West.
OCHA
The Emergency Relief Coordinator, Mark Lowcock, says this week we have lost six humanitarian workers in targeted violent attacks in Somalia, in two separate incidents in South Sudan, and in Northwest Syria.
This cannot be tolerated, he said in the statement. Attacks directed against humanitarians are a violation of international humanitarian law and an obscene act against people working hard, often in extraordinarily difficult circumstances, to help vulnerable people.
Mr. Lowcock said that those who commit these atrocities must be held to account. Governments must investigate these killings and prosecute the suspects where appropriate. International humanitarian law must be upheld.

Regional councils are, nominally, the governing bodies of the regions of Cameroon. As defined by the Constitution of Cameroon, the councils have control of cultural, economic, educational, health-related, social, and sport-related issues in the regions. The members of each council are delegates indirectly elected by the populace and traditional rulers selected by their peers. Each council is headed by a president, who is elected by the members from among their own ranks. Members serve five-year terms.
Each council is advised by members of parliament from the area and by an administrator appointed by the president of Cameroon. This individual acts at the president's personal representative and wields considerable power. The president of Cameroon reserves the right to disband any regional council he so chooses.
The regional councils were created by Cameroon's constitution of 1996 in response to agitation for a return to a federal system of government or increased decentralisation. However, the councils have yet to be established in reality, and the regions established by the constitution are still known as provinces and are headed by presidentially appointed governors.
Eran is the Ramat Negev Regional Council of Southern Israel. The largest jurisdiction of land in Israel with the smallest population. Eran has been busy in his four years at the helm of the local municipality. The constant struggle of keeping the feel of the desert alive with constantly improving the lives of the citizens who live there. The demographics of the region are interesting in that it is a 50/50 split between Jews and Bedouin Arabs.
We talk about why Eran moved to the Negev, the challenges of dealing with Jerusalem, the Israel Defense Force training area, and the integration of the Bedouin population into mainstream Israeli society.
This is part of the Negev series within the Israel podcast series on the podcast.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Regional councils (plural: Hebrew: מוֹעָצוֹת אֵזוֹרִיּוֹת, Mo'atzot Azoriot / singular: Hebrew: מוֹעָצָה אֵזוֹרִית, Mo'atza Azorit) are one of the three types of local government entities found in Israel and the West Bank, with the other two being cities and local councils. As of 2003, there were 53 regional councils, usually responsible for governing a number of settlements spread across rural areas. Regional councils include representation of anywhere between 3 and 54 communities, usually spread over a relatively large area within geographical vicinity of each other.Each community within a regional council usually does not exceed 2000 in population and is managed by a local committee. This committee sends representatives to the administering regional council proportionate to their size of membership and according to an index which is fixed before each election. Those settlements without an administrative council do not send any representatives to the regional council, instead being dealt by it directly. Representatives from those settlements which are represented directly are either chosen directly or through an election. The predominant form of communities represented on regional councils are kibbutzim and moshavim.
Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss his new book, “The Bill of Obligations: The Ten Habits of Good Citizens,” and Secretary Blinken’s visit to Israel amid escalated violence in the region. “Increasingly things are out of control. The authorities are in many ways lacking authority, ” Haass explains. “I think that you’ve got a terrible situation where diplomacy is not going to make any progress, and the situation on the ground, as we’ve seen, is likely to deteriorate.”
