Revised and reproduced from Cameroon Post # 223 of June 16-23, 1994.
Those who saw the “Lion-Man’s” red-bereted monsters raising their gun-butts over our heads and ordering us out of our car must have, for a moment, thought that some enemy soldiers had been captured in Bakassi and brought into town for grilling. “Les voici! Oui c’est eux!» the four gendarmes, surrounding our car, cried out triumphantly as one of them laid his hands on Gobata’s brown envelope, containing some AAC II literature. That cry almost became a riot when one of them seized dozens of copies of my two pamphlets, respectively entitled “I was also there: Reflections from AAC 1” and ”Mamiyah, a Legend, and Other Essays”, which I had thought I would sell during the AAC II meeting.
