Enyegue's exhaustive investigations into a wide variety of Jesuit archives, including in Vanves, Rome, Douala (Cameroon), Nairobi (Kenya), and the Fonds Dalmais in N'djamena (Chad), as well as diocesan archives in Yaoundé, government collections in CEFOD (Chad), and the archives of the Christian Assemblies of God of N'djamena (Chad) make his study both comprehensive and authoritative, as well as unique in its approach. * AHSI *
