#OnThisDay 12 Sept 1961. The Glasgow Herald: Cameroon in Chaos.
"It must be hoped that they [people of British-administered Southern Cameroons] will not regret their choice, for few states have ever embarked upon independent self-govt in more inauspicious circumstances."
The Glasgow Herald, Sept. 12 1961
Après plus de quarante années de séparation sous les régimes de tutelle britannique et française, les principales parties de l'ancienne colonie allemande du Cameroun seront réunifiées le 1er octobre en un État africain indépendant. Telle était la vision qui a conduit les populations du Cameroun méridional administré par la Grande-Bretagne à se rendre aux urnes en février de cette année afin de voter en faveur de l'union avec la République du Cameroun francophone voisine, déjà indépendante. Il faut espérer qu'elles ne regretteront pas ce choix, car rares sont les États qui ont accédé à l'indépendance dans des circonstances aussi peu favorables.

Liberia says it will receive up to 1,200 people deported from the US, making it the 14th African country to strike such a deal with Washington.
I meet deportees sent to Cameroon who are now stuck in limbo.
