_NAVIGATING BAMENDA_


r0g_agency welcomes two special guests, both award winning activist 
peacebuilders fighting disinformation, youth extremism and online 
incitement to violence in Cameroon’s conflict-ridden North West Region. 
Bamenda, once known as Cameroon’s ‘City of the Future’ is the country’s 
third largest urban area, crippled for close to a decade by a vicious 
separatist insurgency.

Please join us in Navigating Bamenda, a two-part #defyhatenow series 
featuring youth leader Nduku Louis Tebi and journalist Mbuh Stella. The 
events will be moderated by Decolonialism Policy Advisor, Valerie Viban, 
at r0g_agency’s OPEN CULTURE OFFICE in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
