About this listen
Chris and Charley discuss the incredible story of how Cameroon’s independence movement took on the French Empire and almost won. Then, they trace the sad story of how the French fought back, installed a dictator, and continue to exploit an “independent” Cameroon. Both agree that with France’s dark influence from independence to today, it is no surprise that Cameroon is one of the poorest countries on earth. Poverty is no accident; it’s exploitation.
