How France Waged War Against Cameroon

The French TV channel, TV 5, has recently put together an eye opening documentary (in French, 2008) on how France fought to keep Cameroon from gaining independence, massacring Cameroon leaders who fought for independence along with thousands of Cameroonians. Poisonous gas was used in this war against the people of Cameroon. This is a crime that has been kept secret for fifty years. This documentary is crucial not only to the history of the struggle for independence in Cameroon but also to the struggle for independence in Africa in general. Connections are clearly made between what was going on in Cameroon at the time to what was going in places like the Congo and Algeria. It is a fascinating piece.
