Cameroon's anti-colonial leader was poisoned to death in Geneva: Felix-Roland Moumié

64

years ago

03 November 1960,

Cameroon's anticolonal leader was poisoned to death in Geneva: Felix-Roland Moumié. Opposed to French colonialism, he was poisoned by a French secret agent after appearing as a journalist.

In October 1960 Cameroon, dependent on France, achieved independence, but during the process of decolonization in Africa it was seen that the metropolises wanted to maintain their influence at all costs, albeit with many crimes.

Shortly after Moumié's death in France, Belgium killed Lumumba from the Congo with the help of the CIA.
