Director, Leseptentrion.net
Agnes Taile is the director of
www.leseptentrion.net , a French‐language news site focusing on
northern Cameroon that she started after leaving her country in 2009. She sees the site as a
way to continuing her fight against corruption, poverty and for human rights while living in the
United States. Agnes was recognized in 2009 by the International Women’s Media Foundation
for her courage as a journalist. In 2006, she was the subject of a vicious attack and abduction

was canceled. She continued reporting, joining Canal 2 until 2009.
