Faculty Criticism: Universities Under Fire for Involving Police in Student Anti-War Protests
Amid the Israel-Hamas war, students at universities across the U.S. have intensified their protests, demanding divestment from companies linked to the conflict. However, some universities have dismantled protest encampments due to reports of antisemitic incidents among the demonstrators.
With the escalating death toll in the Gaza conflict, protesters nationwide are calling for educational institutions to sever financial ties with Israel. This movement aims to target companies that are perceived to be supporting the ongoing war.
While advocating for Palestinian rights, some Jewish students have expressed fear of attending campus activities, citing instances of antisemitism during the protests. This has raised concerns about the impact of the demonstrations on the overall campus environment.
The protests have sparked a national conversation about the role of universities in global conflicts and the responsibility of academic institutions to uphold ethical standards in their investments. The tension between supporting social justice causes and maintaining a safe campus environment has become a focal point of debate.
University administrations are facing pressure to address the concerns raised by students on both sides of the issue. Balancing the right to free expression with ensuring a respectful and inclusive campus climate presents a significant challenge for campus leaders.
As the protests continue, it is essential for universities to engage in constructive dialogue with students to address grievances and promote understanding among diverse perspectives. Finding common ground and fostering a culture of respect and tolerance is crucial in navigating complex geopolitical issues within the campus community.

“being born in a country like Cameroon is a problem”
- No Comments
The famous Cameroonian musician artist, Petit Pays, gave an interview to Infos TV this Friday, in which he expresses frank opinions on the cultural and artistic situation in Cameroon. With strong and unfiltered words, Petit Pays shared his thoughts on the need for a national language in the country, as well as on the hypocrisy of Cameroonians.
“Being born in a country like Cameroon is a problem,” said the “Turbo d’Afrique”, highlighting the challenges faced by local artists in a country where music seems to be relegated to the background. The 54-year-old artist expressed his frustration with the lack of appreciation for culture and art, regretting that he is not as well recognized in his own country as some of his peers abroad.
Furthermore, Petit Pays highlighted the urgent need for a national language in Cameroon, arguing that the absence of it hinders the artistic and cultural development of the country. He deplored the delay taken by Cameroon compared to other nations which have been able to promote their linguistic and artistic heritage.
“We are not in a country of music, we are in a country where sport is privileged. I think that with me, things will change because today we understand that there have been too many bluffs in certain points”, he added, recalling his commitment to moving the lines and restoring the nobility of Cameroonian music.
Petit Pays finally launched a call for unity and recognition of the cultural wealth of Cameroon.
Raba Rabi’s frank and committed words resonate as an invitation to support and promote local artists, in order to build together a Cameroon where music and culture occupy their rightful pl
