To be Cameroonian is to assume a singular history, made of wounds, remorse, defeats, scars, but also of pride, greatness, victories and heroism.
To be Cameroonian is to assume with lucidity a subjective experience of constitution of an identity. It was built not only in an antecolonial genesis, made of communities and terroirs open and bound by a certain form of cultural and anthropological consanguinity, but also in the experience of colonial wounds and in the memory of a struggle anticolonial particularly bloody. |

To be Cameroonian is to be attached to one's independence beyond the politicians' palaver
To be Cameroonian is to recognize that Cameroon is the cradle of our ancestors, that it deserves the highest honor and that its flag must be a symbol of faith and unity. To be Cameroonian is to be united by a feeling of national pride so strong that it sometimes borders on pride. It is to be attached to his sovereignty and his independence beyond the political palaver and domestic bickering.
Being Cameroonian means expressing pride in being born in the same country as Ruben Um Nyobe, Mongo Beti, Jean-Marc Ela, Eboussi Boulaga, John Ngu Foncha, Manu Dibango, Roger Milla or Achille Mbembe. Being Cameroonian is also knowing how to get angry by refusing to accept that Cameroon's current face represents its destiny, much less its promise.
