They're calling it the 15 year drought.  But it ended yesterday, and it is big.  The Mighty Lyons met the Pharaohs of Egypt on a playing field in Gabon and history  was made.  The Pharaohs had the first goal.  But everything after that belonged to the Lyons.  When the final whistle was blown, the score was two to one.  Fifteen years after their last win the indomitable Lyons won the African Cup of Nations.  And the entire country exploded with joy!  You didn't need a television.  You didn't need a radio.  You knew.  Everybody knew.  The shouting, whistle blowing, and horns honking reached to every corner of every city, town, and village.  There is no event more important than this in Cameroon.  Nothing outranks it.  Today the city was alive with excitement.  Everyone was abuzz with the news.  Flags were being waved.  Young men sported the team's shirt.  A full half hour before the team was slated to leave Gabon and return home, even before they had the final boarding, the main thoroughfare in downtown Yaounde was packed with people, waiting to welcome them back home.  And the celebration will enter a second night.  Today we are one.  No matter which tribe you come from, if you are English speaking or French, where you stand politically, today we are simply Cameroonians.  Proud Cameroonians.  It's the countries fifth win.  Only Egypt tops that with their seven wins.  To beat them was quite a feat.  Long live the Mighty Lyons.  Long live Cameroon.
