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.
Nduku Louis Tebi, youth leader and community mobilizer
Nduku Louis Tebi, 2024 recipient of the Young Global Changers Recoupling Award, works on rehabilitation and skills training with former youth combatants in Bamenda, Cameroon. A victim of the brutal conflict in Cameroon’s North West region himself, Nduku is currently a PhD Political Sciences candidate and founder of XHUMA Africa, a non-profit organisation working to change the narrative of political and climate induced war, hunger and drought that fuels poverty and the fight over limited resources in his region.
#defyhatenow in Cameroon seeks to support those voices acting against the conflict to go ‘viral’ within and outside the country – bringing the diaspora into the online peace building framework, bridging gaps of knowledge and awareness of social media mechanisms between those with access to technology and those without.
