During the late 1920s and early 1930s an anti-colonial movement Société Amicale des Originaires de l'A.E.F. was established by André Matsoua, seeking French citizenship for the territory's inhabitants.
Tijekom kraja 1920-ih i početkom 1930-ih, André Matsoua osniva anti-kolonijalni pokret "Société Amicale des Originaires de l'A.E.F." te traži francusko državljanstvo za stanovnike tog područja.
