Republic of Cameroon is one
Republic of Cameroon is one of the powerful independent countries in Central and West Africa in a region often regarded as the “hinge” of Africa.
It shared landmass with Nigeria to the northwest; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; the Republic of the Congo to the southeast; Gabon and Equatorial Guinea to the south; and the Atlantic Ocean to the southwest. With a population of not less than 26 million people, speaking over 250 languages, Cameroon is regarded as one of the topmost culturally inclined countries in Africa. The country also boasts of a land area of 183,569 square miles (475,442 square kilometers), which is slightly smaller than Spain and slightly bigger than the U.S. state of California.
Dense jungle, a vast river network, and tropical rainforests form a major part of Cameroon’s southern and coastal areas. Right from independence from France in 1960, Cameroon has enjoyed relative stability giving for the improvement of roads and railways, as well as lucrative agricultural and petroleum outlets. Their biggest city of Douala is the economic center of commercial and industrial activities, whileYaoundé, the second-largest city, is the capital of Cameroon. Before independence in 1960, the country was under the colonial control of about three European powers for more than 76 years, Cameroon’s history has been surrounded by periods of apparent peace and stability followed by eras of violence. History shows that the region of Africa that now forms Cameroon may have been considered to be the first homeland of the Bantu peoples around 1,500 BCE. Distant descendants of the ancient Bantu still reside in the dense forests of Cameroon’s southern and eastern provinces where they proudly work in line with their ancestral culture.
