Conflicting Interest over Geographical Space: The Case of Ndokayo Cattle Ranch 1974-2010
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: The exploitation of land is a consistent factor in triggering conflicts in communities the world over. In Cameroon such land-related conflicts are frequent, with the Ndokayo Cattle Ranch being one of such conflict zones. In this geographical space which is conducive for cattle rearing, there are perennial conflicting interests between the government that owns the ranch and local cattle grazers. Building largely on primary source material, this study examines the dynamic nature of this intra-grazier land conflict along with resolution initiatives and ensuing implications. The paper reveals that the problematic acquisition of land for the establishment of the ranch laid the basis of a conflict over the grazing land, whose sustenance, stalled resolution and negative imprint rested on the lack of collective commitment to address the dispute. The study concludes that the solution to the conflict within the Ndokayo cattle ranch has to hinge on a multi-actor approach which should amount to the allocation of grazing land to the traditional graziers. Keywords: Conflicts, land, Ndokayo Cattle Ranch, SODEPA.
