Ink in My Blood

A Journalist's Fight for Truth and Freedom in Cameroon

About this book

From dodging flames as a child to dodging the secret police as a journalist, this is the story of a life spent leaving no stone unturned in the pursuit of truth. Charlie Ndi Chia's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of speaking truth to power, and the enduring spirit of journalism in Cameroon. Through arrests, detentions, and exile, he has fought tirelessly to expose corruption, hold those in power accountable, and give a voice to the voiceless. This memoir is a gripping account of one man's unwavering commitment to journalistic integrity in the face of adversity. It is a story of courage, determination, and the unshakable belief in the power of the media to shape a better future for Cameroon. More than just a personal memoir, this book is a call to action for the next generation of journalists, a reminder that the fight for press freedom is a never-ending battle, but one worth fighting."And finally the genie has been let out of the bottle. The much awaited literary travelogue of Uncle Charlie beginning from his childhood curiosity, through his juvenile mischief to his adult epiphany is now in the hands of the reader. Filled with wry humour, graphic details and frank talk, this epistolary autobiography amplifies the voices of journalists especially those who fearlessly spill their ink at the expense of their blood." George Ngwane, writer and policy advocate"While the youth are undoubtedly the leaders of tomorrow, the timeline for their rise remains uncertain. This is the enduring message of optimism woven through Charlie Ndi Chia's captivating life story, recounted with the inquisitive nature of his grandchild. Ndi Chia, a journalist who left no stone unturned in his pursuit of truth, proves that even a rolling stone can gather moss, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations." Francis B. Nyamnjoh, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cape Town
