How has Brenda Biya鈥檚 kiss on Instagram impacted Cameroon?
The president鈥檚 daughter posted a photo of herself kissing another woman - even though people in same sex relationships can be punished with up to five years in prison in Cameroon
"I鈥檓 crazy about you & I want the world to know鈥�.
It looks like a pretty harmless Instagram post. Two women kissing and expressing their love.
But one of the women 鈥� and the woman who posted that photo and accompanying message - was Brenda Biya, the 26 year old daughter of President Paul Biya of Cameroon.
The law in Cameroon states that those who engage in same-sex acts or relationships can face up to five years in jail, so it鈥檚 perhaps not a surprise that the post has caused a lot of discussion in the country.
So was it a brave act of defiance - or a sign that there鈥檚 one law for those in power and another for everyone else?
For Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to Bandy Kiki, a Cameroonian LGBT activist and 麻豆官网首页入口 reporter Paul Njie.
