Nathalie Yamb is a Cameroonian-Swiss activist and businesswoman.[1][2] She is well-known for opposing the actions of France in Africa, which she and others describe as colonial.[3][4] She was born in Switzerland and grew up in Cameroon, then went to university in Germany.[5] In the 2010s, she helped run a political party in Ivory Coast.[1] However, she was deported in 2019 without a trial after she criticized the Ivory Coast government at a conference in Russia.[3] Yamb has been supported by Russian oligarch and mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and she helps to disseminate pro-Kremlin propaganda.[6][7] Her anti-French activism earned her in January 2022 a ban on entry and stay on French territory, made public in October 2022.[8] Yamb participated as an "independent international observer" during 2022 sham referendums in Eastern Ukraine.[9][10]
