ReplyDeleteI did not see "Atemangwat" Fontem Defang but from what i hear from my parents, he was an epitome of true leadership. A person who listen to his people. Documenting his life and achievments is something excellent an very commendable. We Africans need to publish like this to counter the documented lies carried in most books written by people from the WEst who claim to have understood us and our hisotry more than we do. We must publish or perish. Keep it up.
ReplyDeletei have an occasion to spend a little time near our grand father.
