I wonder why these people bother. The gov't of Cameroon is discouraging input Cameroonian-born foreign passport holders. This is the group the country stands to gain the most from and they don't need a marketing campaign to invest in their own country. However the Biya gov't by its discriminatory taxation system and its stance on the dual-nationality issue has demonstrated that it does have the interest of the country. So why campaigns like this... maybe just a few individuals at the ministry of tourism wishing to make a quick buck.

Hi Kwensi,
You are giving far too much credit to folks in the Cameroon administration. This event is London has absolutely nothing to do with any department of the government of Cameroon. It is sponsored by the Museum of London and a host of other private entities. This is to "advanced" for Cameroon's Mnistry of Tourism.
