Abstract

The article discusses British government accounts of political crimes and atrocities committed by the French colonial administration of Cameroon in the late 1950s. The German colony of Kamerun was given to Great Britain and France as Mandates in 1919, and they continued to oversee the regions until independence was declared in 1960. Topics considered include the nationalist and pro-independence group Union des Populations du Cameroun (UPC) led by Ruben Um Nyobé, French counterinsurgency tactics, and extradition agreements between France and Great Britain.
