L'Effort Camerounais (English Version)

Editorial: Cry The Beloved Country, Rise The Beloved Country!

By Ireneaus Chongwain Chia

The climax of celebrations marking 50 years of Cameroon’s Independence is over. It is now time for stock taking and charting the way forward as the country gears up for yet another historic event in 2011- the celebration of 50 years of Reunification. When many Cameroonians look back, they do in anger and cry a once-beloved country.
