Ernest Ouandié
Ernest Ouandié was a prominent Cameroonian nationalist and a key figure in the struggle against French colonial rule in Cameroon. Known for his unwavering commitment to achieving true independence for his country, Ouandié played an instrumental role in the Union of Populations of Cameroon (UPC) and continued to fight against neocolonialism even after the country gained independence in 1960. His activism led to his arrest and eventual execution by firing squad in 1971, solidifying his legacy as a national hero for many Cameroonians who view his efforts as essential to the nation's quest for sovereignty.
