CAF African Women’s Championship Kicks Off
Amidst little fanfare, the sixth edition of the CAF African Women’s Championship kicked off this past weekend in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. Backed by a ferocious home support, Equatorial Guinea pulled off what must surely be the upset of the tournament so far, by beating perennial powerhouse, Cameroon 1-0. In the other Group A match, Mali slumped to a 0-1 defeat against Congo.
What’s in a Name – Benin to Shed ‘The Squirrels’ Tag?
In English, the nickname of the Benin national team, “Les Ecureuils,” translates into “The Squirrels.” Unfortunately, the country’s sports ministry has decided it is not fearsome enough. Really?

Yes, trivial.

All Cameroonian Cultural Festival
Jamati.com had the extreme pleasure to attend the annual Cameroonian Cultural Festival this past weekend and it was an event like no other because it is an annual event that focuses on the ethnic diversity in Cameroon from a cultural perspective. During the festival each province and ethnic group has an opportunity to showcase their individual culture by performing various dances using traditional songs. What makes this event so unique is that each and every group is encouraged by their fellow countrymen and it makes for a wonderful experience in unity and cultural pride.
