Seminar: Situationen i Cameroon (København)

Cameroon Now: Crisis in the Anglophone Region and Legacies of a Dual Postcolonial Site 

Cameroon, a country formed in 1961 by merging former French and British colonies, has been on media headlines within the past three years.

We have seen stories of Boko Haram attacks in the north, the country’s inability to host the recent African cup of Nations, the internet disconnection and the crisis in the Anglophone region.

As the biggest economy in central Africa, there are concerns that a deteriorating political and economic situation in Cameroon could spark a major regional crisis.

In this public seminar we will talk about the economic and political challenges facing Cameroon. The seminar will have contributions from:

• Primus M. Tazanu (CAS)
• Peder Frederik Jensen (Novelist and author of travel essays on Cameroon – and winner of the Timbuktu Price 2019)
• Shey Tatah Sevidzem (Independent humanitarian)
