 REUNIFICATION AND POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM IN THE MAKING OF CAMEROON'S INDEPENDENCE
In contrast, the struggle for reunification was strongest in West Cameroon and the adjacent French territories because the European powers were keen to protect European investment and sources of revenue in the region against native traders who ignored the frontier restrictions.
In West Cameroon the bogey was Nigerian sub-imperialism; but in the early days at least, reunification was invoked to solve local problems and preceded the formation of locally based political parties.
If West Cameroonian politicians learned any lessons at all from the period 1948 to 1952 when the UPC was the chief promoter of reunification in both East and West Cameroon, it was that neither 'immediate reunification', nor merely 'reunification before independence', were in West Cameroon's long-term interests.

Many past SIT Cameroon students have spoken to the difficulty of capturing the female voice—this, too, proved a difficulty for me. Wary of revealing intimate details to a bumbling stranger, the women with whom I spoke were all the more discreet and reserved in the company of men.

Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus, the major vectors of dengue fever, are both present in Cameroon (5,6).
Although our findings suggest that the infections in Cameroonian patients were caused by R. africae, the possibility of the occurrence of another spotted fever group rickettsial infection cannot be excluded because spotted fever group rickettsiae share closely related antigens.
However, the presence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and the empiric treatment of the febrile illness with sulfonamide antimicrobials, both frequent situations in Africa, might result in more severe disease; this possibility needs to be evaluated (30–33).
