Cameroon's Foreign Minister Henri Eyebe Ayissi summoned the head of the EU delegation in Cameroon, Raoul Mateus Paula, 13 January to protest their funding of LGBT groups that "violate the laws of Cameroon."

The EU is funding the 'Project for Assistance and Guidance to Sexual Minorities' with €300,000. The project is backed by the associations Sid'ado, Cofenho (the Collective of Families of children with homosexuals), and Association to Defend Homosexuals (ADEFHO), the main LGBT rights group founded by Alice Nkom, a well-known Cameroonian lawyer. Nkom is the only lawyer operating in Cameroon who defends the rights of LGBT people.

I'm torn because while I don't like Western countries attempting to force their views and ideals on developing nations I completely disagree with homosexuality being against the law. I'd be happier if individual organizations and individual people were assisting the cause and not the EU state itself.
