        Happy you released bro @nganang, there are still 100s of our brothers in jails, thousands in exile and thousands of refugees in Nigeria. Government forces continue to kill, rape, torture & abduct innocent people daily with help of #France #FreeSouthernCameroons #FreeAllArrested

        BBC Africa, please stop manipulating information to fan the crisis in Cameroon. This guy was arrested because he threatened to kill the president. He was tinking he can do whatever he likes because he's an American citizen.
