The letter addressed to the Rt. Rev. Dr. Samuel Fonki, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC), is a formal yet pointed communication from the Very Rev. Dr. Festus A.

However, it also raises important questions about the nature of this engagement and its implications for African nations and their citizens.
