CAMEROON: The African War France Hid for 70 Years

For decades, one of Africa’s most consequential anti-colonial conflicts remained largely absent from mainstream history. This video explores Cameroon’s independence struggle, the rise of the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon, and the brutal campaign waged against nationalist resistance before and after formal independence. It examines France’s role, the methods used to suppress the uprising, and why the conflict remained hidden from public view for generations. This is the story of a forgotten war—and the lasting political legacy it left behind.
