"Cameroon is a country divided by its colonial past. Once ruled by the United Kingdom [and] previously administered by France, most speak French.

The youngsters however have found a way -- speaking, and singing, both at the same time in a chaotic mix known as CamFranglais or francanglais." (Agence France Presse).

Striving towards bilingualism? and that is why 99.9999% of all the workers at Cameroon's international airports can't even speak a word of English. Get this propaganda out of my face!
