Living in Carrefour Poli in Northern Cameroon as never easy. How far will one have to go for drinking water during the dry season? Will there be money for kerosene to fill the lamp tank? For batteries for the torch? For a bowl of corn to make "fufu" for the family? Will there be a night encounter with the poison of a snake or scorpion? The man of Carrefour Poli imagines when he last had a bottle of beer and when he will next have another. Children sit in class staring at the teacher, while their work suffers. People sit under trees for shade only to cut them down for firewood. Ministers run up and down, working very hard and sweating, but little changes. Day and night people turn around on the same spot. It takes a long time to build a nation. Everything is in limbo. 606 $aFICTION / General$2bisacsh 606 $aARCHITECTURE / Urban & Land Use Planning$2bisacsh 607 $aCarrefour Poli (Cameroon)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aFICTION / General 615 7$aARCHITECTURE / Urban & Land Use Planning 700 $aLonkog$b Jean Tardif$01795552 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972616103321 996 $aDay and Night in Limbo$94336923 997 $aUNINA
