The US Ambassador to Cameroon recognizes that there is a huge opportunity in Cameroon Economy and affirms that now is the time for Cameroon to take-off economically.
Business in Cameroon: Recently, in an interview with CRTV, you said that, at the request of the Cameroonian army, US military personnel would be present in Cameroon to provide advice and training to Cameroonian military. How many US military experts are present in Cameroon alongside the national army?
Michael Stephan Hoza: We can’t say the exact number, but the number of American personnel is consistent with the number the government wants to have in Cameroon. Let me just state that the security support here in Cameroon at the government’s invitation has indicated the need for training between both militaries. We both have a lot to learn from each other and so we jointly agreed on the number and then we brought the troops here. That number will be open as the fight against Boko Haram continues, but bear in mind that it isn’t just to fight against Boko Haram.
