Special Colloquium on Cameroon Opposition; Special speaker: Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. Dr. Chris Fomunyoh and others are trying to do just that for Cameroon.

Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh among keynote Speakers at a special colloquium on Cameroon opposition is to be held in Yaounde November 7, 8 &9 2012.
