The National Day celebration, themed “Army and the Nation, Together Under a United, Peaceful and Prosperous Cameroon,” began with a spectacular military parade followed by a civilian march past. The event, attended by over 1500 people, concluded with an address from Governor Lele Lafrique, who expressed his appreciation for the massive turnout and the spirit of unity demonstrated by the attendees.
