General Valsera acknowledged at the end of the conference given by Maurice Kamto that “Putting the diaspora back at the heart of the continent’s development should be the priority of all African leaders.”
From Paris in France where he now resides, the committed artist especially recalled with nostalgia proximity to the main Cameroonian opponent. “He’s my buddy it’s been a while. I wanted to kiss him”
Valsera, who was interviewed by the editorial staff of Camer.be, said he was happy to have personally met Maurice Kamto after several years of separation: “It’s always a pleasure to listen to him. Everyone knows the report that I I have with him. I don’t have the opportunity to see him all the time. He was as close as possible to me (ed., due to his presence in France where Valsero lives), it was to see him and to give him a kiss.”
His political commitment pushes him into exile
