IN THE NEWS ARCHIVE
Recorded 2026-09-02 from the Mbengwi Online community record. The 2023 and 2024 films are on the Mbengwi Online channel rather than the Guneku channel. The sources describe the festival only as the festival of the Fringyeng people; whether it is a quarter event or a whole-Guneku one is not settled.
