I hope that this exhibition will not be the last but that it will precede other exhibitions of the same kind in relation to other cultural areas of Cameroon. At a time when there is talk of the return to their birthplace of works illicitly taken from Africa, the opening of this exhibition allows us to observe that another way is possible. <\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-testimonial-author\">\n\t\t\t    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1549\" height=\"1601\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/routedeschefferies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MAGNUS-EKOUMOU-6.jpg?fit=1549%2C1601&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/routedeschefferies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MAGNUS-EKOUMOU-6.jpg?w=1549&amp;ssl=1 1549w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/routedeschefferies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MAGNUS-EKOUMOU-6.jpg?resize=290%2C300&amp;ssl=1 290w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/routedeschefferies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MAGNUS-EKOUMOU-6.jpg?resize=991%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 991w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/routedeschefferies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MAGNUS-EKOUMOU-6.jpg?resize=768%2C794&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/routedeschefferies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MAGNUS-EKOUMOU-6.jpg?resize=1486%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1486w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/routedeschefferies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MAGNUS-EKOUMOU-6.jpg?resize=1320%2C1364&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/routedeschefferies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MAGNUS-EKOUMOU-6.jpg?resize=600%2C620&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/>                <span class=\"qodef-testimonial-author-prefix\" style=\"margin-left: 1rem;\">By<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"qodef-testimonials-author-name\" style=\"margin-left: 0.5rem;\">Andr\u00e9 Magnus Ekoumou, Ambassador of Cameroon to France<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"qodef-testimonial-content\" id=\"qodef-testimonials-4804\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-testimonial-text-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"qodef-testimonial-text\">It was a historic moment for the cultural journalist that I am.
