Hello Kasper
I regret I could only connect today to answer your email :(
I wanted to outline that both Kumusha Takes Wiki and Wiki Loves Africa are being conducted in English and French
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa
I was quite disappointed by the limited participation of Cameroom to the photo contest. Given the effort already been done in that country to train editors and to promote the project, I expected more input.
Just saying...

My email was sent too quickly. There are few more things I wanted to bring up:
I'm curious about (creating) connections between Francophone and Anglophone contributors. It seems WikiAfrica has mainly been about the English Wikipedia and Afripédia is almost only about the French Wikipedia. How many people on this list speak French? How many have contributed to French language projects?
And then there is the question of African languages. Personally I think this is where Africa can gain most. How many of you have contributed in African languages? Which languages Any obstacles?
There is a mailinglist list about Wikipedia in African languages which has been active since 2006: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Afrophonewikis

I believe some Wikimedians in Cameroon also on this list have already connedcted with you.
Yeah I have exchanged a few emails, it's a bit hard to keep up with everyone and I also have to adapt to the heat :)
It would be great if we can have dinner together, we can try to gather all the participants and other Wikimedians who are present in Douala who are interested. I can post here and on https://twitter.com/guaka when I know more about a possible location for this.
a k'an be, Kasper
