Now that I’ve unintentionally scared away 98.4% of my potential readers, let me tell you a bit about Cameroon.
It’s called ‘Africa in miniature’ because of:
1)the great number of peoples/languages—250+
2)the variety of geographical features (including an active volcano!)
Brief history:
1472 First official foreign contacts? Portuguese explorers
1887-1917 German colonial period
1919 French and British split Cameroon thanks to a League of Nations mandate
(2 of the 10 Cameroonian provinces are Anglophone, the remaining are Francophone)
1960 French Cameroon declares independence
1961 British Cameroon declares independence
That’s the essential info, but I’ll be learning lots more and will keep you posted.
