Le Pangolin posts (Fr) an interview of Mboua Massock, a Cameroonian arrested for protesting the presence in Cameroon of monuments to French colonial personalities. Mr. Massock, who recently appeared in front of a preliminary tribunal to answer to charges of degradation of public property says: “France installed the statue of [General] Leclerc in the very place where our independence was obtained (…). Our independence heros, our nationalists, deserve that spot in Cameroon's Independence squares.”
