Disgruntlement leads to protests; but what happens when the protests fail to yield? Immigration and resignation, the latter, at times, becoming an invitation to death. Adventure and romance stand as the lifeline of others. Hope is a constant companion in these situations, inviting all and sundry to desist from giving adversary easy victories.Poets, CameroonianAfrican poetryCameroonPoetryElectronic books.Poets, Cameroonian.African poetry.811.6Ndiyah Florence964552MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464478403321I will fly2188478UNINA
