Photographs of the Military in Bakassi Exhibited

In a bid to celebrate the theme of this year a military photograph exhibition took place.

Following the theme of this year’s 20th May, Defence Forces and the Nation for the Promotion of Social peace and Development, there has been a photograph exhibition at the Delegation of Culture, in Bonanjo, Douala.
The pictures which were 20 in number were photographs explaining the retrocession of Bakassi to Cameroon and the establishment of Cameroon in Bakassi. The pictures explained the different camp of the military, their nature of discipline in carrying out their duties.
Some of the pictures were armour match past, military vehicles march past, the official hoisting of the Cameroonian flag in Bakassi, going to Bakassi and returning from Bakassi, the Marine and their role in the sea, among others.
Colonel Mbongo Bruno of the 2nd inter-military region who was present to see the pictures said he was impressed. He added that the photographs tie with the theme of this year’s national day. He said they also expose the discipline which exists in the military in Cameroon. The colonel also added that some of the photographs bring to his memory certain images in Bakassi and also as well expose what is happening in Bakassi.
On his part the Delegate of Culture Robert Bendegue said he had to select the exhibited pictures from a lot which were presented to him. This he said because they tie with the theme of the National Day. He said they reflect the retrocession of Bakassi to Cameroon. He also lauded the efforts of the military in the way they tackle the Bakassi issue in discipline and diplomacy.
There were also traditional dances which took part to spice the event. The photographs were the handy work of photograph reporter Nicolas Makanda.
