Prominent poet to advocate end to injustice, violence in show today




Human rights advocate and poet, Taleabong Alemnge will today be performing a series of poems that aim to decry a range of ills in society.



The Buea-based artist who has often used his art to challenge injustices including those resulting from the armed conflict in the North West and South West regions, will be performing this time in the nation’s capital, Yaounde.



At his show titled Ubuntu, he has revealed, he will perform poems titled Be free, Survival, Tribal Marks, 13 Chronicles and Soldiers of the apocalypse.

The show hosted by the Goethe Institute, he noted, is born from his “… desire to bring Africans to understand that collective efforts, unity and peace are the only measures through which we can achieve world prosperity and development.”



The performance counts as a part of the artist’s advocacy for social causes, some of which he does through his Buea-based Stage Life Poetry troupe.
