It shares boundaries with [[Nigeria]] to the west and north, [[Chad]] to the northeast, the [[Central African Republic]] to the east, and [[Equatorial Guinea]], [[Gabon]], and the [[Republic of the Congo]] to the south. Its coastline lies on the [[Bight of Biafra]], part of the [[Gulf of Guinea]], and the Atlantic Ocean. Due to its strategic position at the crossroads between [[West Africa]] and Central Africa, it has been categorized as being in both geostrategic locations. Cameroon's population of nearly 31 million people speak 250 native languages, in addition to the national tongues of English and French. The capital city of the country is [[Yaoundé]]. Early inhabitants of the territory included the [[Sao civilisation]] around [[Lake Chad]] and the [[Baka people (Cameroon and Gabon)|Baka]] hunter-gatherers in the southeastern rainforest. [[Portuguese discoveries|Portuguese explorers]] reached the coast in the 15th century. [[Fula people|Fulani]] soldiers founded the [[Adamawa Emirate]] in the north in the 19th century, and various ethnic groups of the west and northwest established powerful chiefdoms and [[Fon (title)|fondoms]]. Cameroon became a [[German Empire|German colony]] in 1884 known as [[Kamerun]]. After [[World War I]], it was divided between [[French Third Republic|France]] and the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|United Kingdom]] as [[League of Nations mandate]]s until independence in 1960 and 1961 respectively.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Dupraz |first=Yannick |date=September 2019 |title=French and British Colonial Legacies in Education: Evidence from the Partition of Cameroon |url=https://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/119359/1/WRAP-French-British-colonial-Cameroon-Dupraz-2019.pdf |journal=The Journal of Economic History |language=en |volume=79 |issue=3 |pages=628–668 |doi=10.1017/S0022050719000299 |issn=0022-0507 }}</ref> The [[Union of the Peoples of Cameroon]] (UPC) political party advocated independence but was outlawed by France in the 1950s, leading to a [[Bamileke War|national liberation insurgency]] between [[French Armed Forces]] and the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC) until January 1971. In 1960, the French-administered part of Cameroon became independent, as the Republic of Cameroun, under President [[Ahmadou Ahidjo]]. The [[Southern Cameroons|southern part]] of [[British Cameroon]]s federated with it in 1961 to form the [[Federal republic|Federal Republic]] of Cameroon. The federation was abandoned in 1972. The country was renamed the [[Unitary state|United Republic]] of Cameroon in 1972 and back to the Republic of Cameroon in 1984 by a presidential decree by President [[Paul Biya]]. Biya, the incumbent president, has led the country since 1982 following Ahidjo's resignation; he previously held office as prime minister from 1975 onward. Cameroon is governed as a unitary [[Presidential system|presidential republic]]. Biya is the world's longest-serving non-royal leader, having ruled for over four decades in an [[authoritarian]] manner.

It has experienced [[Anglophone problem|tensions]] from the English-speaking territories, where politicians have advocated for greater decentralisation and even complete separation or independence (as in the [[Southern Cameroons National Council]]). In 2017, tensions over the creation of an [[Ambazonia]]n state in the English-speaking territories escalated into [[Anglophone Crisis|open warfare]]. Large numbers of Cameroonians live as [[Subsistence agriculture|subsistence farmers]]. The country is often referred to as "Africa in miniature" for its geological, linguistic, and cultural diversity. Its natural features include beaches, [[desert]]s, mountains, [[rainforest]]s, and [[savanna]]s.

It is less humid than the coast. In western Cameroon is an irregular chain of mountains, hills, and plateaus that extends from Mount Cameroon almost to [[Lake Chad]] at the northern tip of the country. This region includes the [[Bamenda highlands|Bamenda]], [[Bamiléké highlands|Bamiléké]], and [[Mambilla highlands]]. It also contains some of the country's most fertile soils, notably around volcanic Mt. Cameroon. This area of tropical forest has been categorised by the [[World Wildlife Fund]] as the [[Cameroonian Highlands forests]] [[ecoregion]] with [[Mount Cameroon and Bioko montane forests|Mount Cameroon]] considered separately because as an active volcano it has a distinct environment from the other mountains. From the forested southern plateau the land rises northward to the grassy, rugged [[Adamaoua highlands|Adamaoua]] (Adamawa) highlands. Stretching across Cameroon from the western mountain area, the Adamaoua forms a barrier between the north and south. Its average elevation is {{convert|3400|ft|m|sigfig=2|abbr=on|order=flip}}. The southern [[savanna|savanna plain]] extends from the edge of the Adamaoua to Lake Chad. Its characteristic vegetation is scrub and grass. This is region of sparse rainfall and high median temperatures has been included as part of the [[East Sudanian savanna]] ecoregion. == Climate == The climate varies with terrain, from tropical along the coast to semiarid and hot in the north. Exceedingly hot and humid, the coastal belt includes some of the wettest places on earth. For example, [[Debundscha]], at the base of Mt.

The earliest discovered archaeological evidence of humans dates from around 30,000 years ago at [[Shum Laka]]. The [[Bamenda highlands]] in western Cameroon near the border with Nigeria are one of the most likely origin for the [[Bantu peoples]], whose language and culture [[Bantu expansion|came to dominate]] most of central and [[southern Africa]] between 1000 [[BCE]] and 1000 [[Common Era|CE]]. European traders arrived in the fifteenth century and Cameroon was the [[exonym]] given by the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] to the [[Wouri River]], which they called ''Rio dos Camarões—''"river of [[shrimps]]" or "shrimp river", referring to the then-abundant [[Cameroon ghost shrimp]].<ref>[https://www.etymonline.com/word/cameroon Cameroon (adj.)]</ref> Cameroon was a source of slaves for the [[Transatlantic Slave Trade|slave trade]]. While the northern part of Cameroon was subject to influence from the Islamic kingdoms in the [[Chad basin]] and the [[Sahel]], the south was largely ruled by small kings, chieftains, and [[Fon (title)|fons]]. Cameroon as a political entity emerged from the [[Scramble for Africa|colonization of Africa by Europeans]]. From 1884, Cameroon was a German colony, [[German Kamerun]], with its borders drawn through negotiations between the Germans, British, and French. After the First World War, the [[League of Nations mandate]]d France to administer most of the territory, with [[the United Kingdom]] administering a small portion in the west. Following World War II, the League of Nations' successor, the United Nations, instituted a [[UN Trust Territories|Trusteeship]] system, leaving France and Britain in control of their respective regions, [[French Cameroon]] and [[British Cameroon]]. In 1960, Cameroon became independent with part of [[British Cameroons]] voting to join former French Cameroon. Cameroon has had only two presidents since independence and while opposition parties were legalized in 1990 only one party has ever governed. Cameroon has maintained close relations with France and allied itself largely with Western political and economic interests throughout the Cold War and into the twenty-first century. This consistency gave Cameroon a reputation as one of the most stable countries in the region. In 2017, tensions between [[Anglophone Cameroonian]]s in former British territory and the Francophone-dominated government led to an ongoing [[civil war]] known as the [[Anglophone Crisis]] in the west of the country, while [[Islamist]] insurgents [[Boko Haram]] continue to carry out military and terror attacks in the north of the country. In January 2024, Cameroon launched the world's first routine malaria vaccine program, using the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO)-approved [[RTS,S]] vaccine developed by British drugmaker GSK. The initiative aims to save thousands of African children's lives annually.

[[Bantu languages]] spread with these people along with agricultural methods and possibly iron tools, first east and then south, forming one of the largest language families in Africa. In Cameroon, Bantu people largely displaced [[Central African Pygmies]] such as the Baka, who were [[hunter-gatherers]] and who now survive in much smaller numbers in the heavily forested southeast. Despite Cameroon being the original homeland of the Bantu people, the great medieval Bantu-speaking kingdoms arose elsewhere, such as what is now Kenya, Congo, Angola, and South Africa. ===Northern Cameroon=== The earliest known civilization to have left clear traces of their presence in the territory of modern Cameroon is known as the [[Sao civilisation]].{{sfnp|Hudgens|Trillo|1999|p=1051}} Known for their elaborate [[terracotta]] and [[bronze]] artwork and round, walled settlements in the [[Lake Chad Basin]], little else is known with any certainty due to the lack of historical records. The culture possibly arose as early as the fourth century BC but certainly, by the end of the first millennium BC, their presence was well established around Lake Chad and near the [[Chari River]].{{sfnp|DeLancey|DeLancey|2000|p=237}} The city-states of the Sao reached their apex sometime between the ninth and fifteenth centuries AD.{{sfnmp|1a1=DeLancey|1a2=DeLancey|1y=2000|1p=237|2a1=Walker|2y=2011}} The Sao were displaced or assimilated by the sixteenth century. After the [[Muslim conquest of North Africa]] in 709, Islam's influence began to spread south with the growth of [[trans-Saharan trade]], including in what is now northern Cameroon. The [[Kanem-Bornu Empire]] began in what is now [[Chad]] and likely came into conflict with the Sao. The Kanem Empire began in Chad in the eighth century and gradually extended its influence northward into Libya and southward into Nigeria and Cameroon. Slaves from raids in the south were their principal trade good along with [[Salt mining|mined salt]]. The Empire was Muslim from at least the eleventh century and reached its first peak in the 13th, controlling most of what is now Chad and smaller regions in surrounding countries. After a period of internal instability, the center of power shifted to Bornu with its capital at [[Ngazargamu]], in what is now northwestern Nigeria, and territory was gradually reconquered and new territory in present-day [[Niger]] also conquered. The Empire began to decline in the seventeenth century though it continued to control much of northern Cameroon. From 1804 to 1808 the [[Fulani War]] saw the Bornu pushed north out of Cameroon and the [[Sokoto Caliphate]] took control of the region, as well as most of northern Nigeria and large swathes of Niger and [[Mali]]. A feudal empire with local rulers pledging allegiance and paying tributes to the Caliph, northern Cameroon was likely part of the [[Adamawa Emirate]] within the Caliphate. This structure proved susceptible to exploitation by colonial powers beginning in the 1870s, who sought to undermine local rulers' ties to the Caliphate. ===Southern Regions=== The Muslim empires of the Sahara and Sahel never reached further south than the highlands of the [[Cameroon Line]]. Further south, there is little archaeological evidence of large empires or kingdoms and no historical record due to the lack of writing in the region. When the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] arrived in the region in the fifteenth century, a large number of kings, chiefs, and [[Fon (title)|fons]] ruled small territories. Many ethnic groups, particularly speakers of the [[Grassfields languages]] in the west, have oral histories of migrating south fleeing Muslim invaders, likely reference to the [[Fulani War]] and subsequent conflicts in Nigeria and northern Cameroon. [[Malaria]] prevented significant European settlement or exploration until the late 1870s, when large supplies of the malaria suppressant [[quinine]] became available.<ref name=":0">{{citation-attribution|1={{Cite web|date=May 2002|title=Background Note: Cameroon|url=http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2822.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020606162126/http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2822.htm|archive-date=June 6, 2002|publisher=[[U.S. State Department]]}} }}</ref> The early European presence in Cameroon was primarily devoted to coastal trade and the [[Atlantic slave trade|acquisition of slaves]].<ref name=":0" /> The Cameroon coast was a major hub for the purchase of slaves who were taken across the Atlantic to Brazil, the United States, and the Caribbean.

Combined with the [[Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves|end of legal slave imports in the United States]] the same year, the international slave trade in Cameroon declined sharply. [[Christian missionaries]] established a presence in the late nineteenth century. Around this time, the [[Aro Confederacy]], was expanding its economic and political influence from southeastern Nigeria into western Cameroon.

The Cameroon coast was of interest to both the British, already established in what is now Nigeria and with missionaries outposts in several towns, and the Germans who had extensive trading relationships and plantations established in the [[Douala]] region. On July 5, 1884, German explorer and administrator [[Gustav Nachtigal]] began signing agreements with [[Duala people|Duala]] leaders establishing a German protectorate in the region. A brief conflict ensued with rival Duala chiefs which Germany and its allies won, leaving the British with little choice but to acknowledge Germany's claim to the region. The borders of modern Cameroon were established through a series of negotiations with the British and French. Germany established an administration for the colony with a capital first at [[Buea]] and later at [[Yaoundé]] and continued to explore the interior and co-opt or subjugate local rulers. The largest conflicts were the [[Bafut Wars]] and the [[Adamawa Wars]] which ended by 1907 with German victories.[[Image:Bundesarchiv Bild 163-051, Kamerun, Weihnachten am Mungo.jpg|thumb|German Settlers celebrating [[Christmas]] in Kamerun|left]] Germany was particularly interested in Cameroon's [[Agriculture|agricultural]] potential and entrusted large firms with the task of exploiting and exporting it. German Chancellor [[Otto von Bismarck]] defined the order of priorities as follows: "first the merchant, then the soldier". It was under the influence of a businessman [[Adolph Woermann]], whose company set up a trading house in [[Douala]], that Bismarck, initially skeptical about the interest of the colonial project, was convinced. Large German trading companies ([[Woermann-Linie|Woermann]], [[Jantzen & Thormählen]]) and concession companies ([[:de: Südkamerun Gesellschaft|Südkamerun Gesellschaft]], [[:de: Nord-West Kamerun Gesellschaft|Nord-West Kamerun Gesellschaft]]) established themselves massively in the colony.

This was particularly the case for the [[SOCFIN Group|Société financière des Caoutchoucs]], which obtained plantations put into operation during the German period and became the largest company in French Cameroon. Roads and other infrastructure projects were undertaken with native labor, often in extremely harsh conditions. The Douala-Yaoundé railway line, begun under the German regime, was completed. Thousands of workers were forcibly deported to this site to work fifty-four hours a week. Workers also suffered from lack of food and the massive presence of mosquitoes and related illnesses. In 1925, the mortality rate on the site was 61.7%. However, the other sites were not as deadly, although working conditions were generally very harsh.<ref name=modo /> French Cameroon joined the [[Free France]] in August 1940. The system established by Free France was essentially a military dictatorship. [[Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque]] established a state of siege throughout the country and abolished almost all public freedom. The objective was to neutralize any potential feelings of independence or sympathy for the former German colonizer. Indigenous people known for their Germanophilia were executed in public places. In 1945, the country was placed under the supervision of the United Nations, as successor to the League of Nations, which left Cameroon under French control as a [[UN Trust Territory]]. ====Independence Movement==== [[File:UPC-LEADERS.jpg|thumb|right|The leaders of the UPC]] In 1948, the [[Union des populations du Cameroun]] (UPC), a nationalist movement, was founded and [[Ruben Um Nyobe]] took over as its leader. In May 1955, the arrests of independence activists were followed by riots in several cities across the country. The repression caused several dozen or hundreds of deaths - the French administration officially lists twenty-two, although secret reports acknowledge many more. The UPC was banned and nearly 800 of its activists were arrested, many of whom would be beaten in prison. Because they were wanted by the police, UPC activists took refuge in the forests, where they formed guerilla bands; they also took refuge in neighboring British Cameroon. The French authorities repressed these events and made arbitrary arrests. The party received the support of personalities such as Gamal Abdel Nasser and Kwame Nkrumah and France's action was denounced at the UN by representatives of countries such as India, Syria, and the Soviet Union.<ref name=modo>Thomas Deltombe, Manuel Domergue, Jacob Tatsita, Kamerun !, La Découverte, 2019</ref> An insurrection broke out among the [[Bassa people (Cameroon)|Bassa people]] on 18 to 19 December 1956. Several dozen anti-UPC figures were murdered or kidnapped, bridges, telephone lines, and other infrastructure were sabotaged. The French military and native security forces violently repressed these uprisings, which led to many native Cameroonians joining the cause of independence and long-running guerilla war. Several UPC militias were formed though their access to weapons was very limited. Though the UPC was a multi-ethnic movement, the pro-independence movement was seen as particularly strong among the [[Bamileke]] and [[Bassa people (Cameroon)|Bassa]] peoples, and both were targeted by the French for severe repression, including razing of villages, forced relocations, and indiscriminate killings in what was sometimes called the [[Bamileke War]] or the Cameroon Independence War. Though the uprising was suppressed, guerilla violence and reprisals continued even after independence. [[Cameroonian parliamentary election, 1956|Legislative elections]] were held on 23 December 1956 and the resulting Assembly passed a decree on 16 April 1957 which made French Cameroon a state. It took back its former status of associated territory as a member of the [[French Union]]. Its inhabitants became Cameroonian citizens, and Cameroonian institutions were created under a parliamentary democracy. On 12 June 1958, the Legislative Assembly of French Cameroon asked the French government to: "Accord independence to the State of Cameroon at the ends of their trusteeship. Transfer every competence related to the running of internal affairs of Cameroon to Cameroonians". On 19 October 1958, France recognized the right of its [[United Nations trust territories|United Nations trust territory]] to choose independence.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1958/10/20/archives/cameroons-gets-freedom-pledge-paris-backs-independence-for-african.html?sq=Cameroon%2520independence&scp=1&st=p|title=CAMEROONS GETS FREEDOM PLEDGE; Paris Backs Independence for African Trust Territory After Interim Self-Rule|first=Thomas F.|last=Brady|date=20 October 1958|via=NYTimes.com}}</ref> On 24 October 1958, the Legislative Assembly of French Cameroon solemnly proclaimed the desire of Cameroonians to see their country accede full independence on 1 January 1960. It enjoined the government of French Cameroon to ask France to inform the General Assembly of the United Nations, to abrogate the trusteeship accord concomitant with the independence of French Cameroon. On 12 November 1958, France asked the United Nations to grant French Cameroon independence and end the Trusteeship.

M. L. Endeley|Dr. Endeley]] (first row, third from right) in [[Bamenda]]]] The British territory was administered as two areas, [[Northern Cameroons]] and [[Southern Cameroons]]. Northern Cameroons consisted of two non-contiguous sections, divided by a point where the Nigerian and Cameroon borders met and were governed as part of the [[Northern Region, Nigeria|Northern Region of Nigeria]]. Southern Cameroons was administered as a province of [[Eastern Nigeria]]. In British Cameroons, many German administrators were allowed to run the plantations of the southern coastal area after World War I. A British parliamentary publication, ''Report on the British Sphere of the Cameroons'' (May 1922, p.&nbsp;62-8), reported that the German plantations there were "as a whole . . . wonderful examples of industry, based on solid scientific knowledge. The natives have been taught discipline and have come to realize what can be achieved by industry. Large numbers who return to their villages take up cocoa or other cultivation on their own account, thus increasing the general prosperity of the country." In the 1930s, most of the white population still consisted of [[Germans]], most of whom were interned in British camps starting in June 1940. The native population showed little interest in volunteering for the British forces during World War II; only 3,500 men did so.<ref>I.C.B Dear, ed, ''The Oxford Companion to World War II'' (1995) p 163</ref> When the [[League of Nations]] ceased to exist in 1946, British Cameroons was reclassified as a [[UN trust territory]], administered through the [[UN Trusteeship Council]], but remained under British control. The United Nations approved the Trusteeship Agreements for British Cameroons to be governed by Britain on June 12, 1946. ====Plebiscite and independence==== French Cameroun became independent, as Cameroun or Cameroon, in January 1960, and Nigeria was scheduled for independence later that same year, which raised the question of what to do with the British territory. After some discussion (which had been going on since 1959), a [[British Cameroons referendum, 1961|plebiscite]] was agreed to and held on 11 February 1961. The Muslim-majority Northern area opted for union with Nigeria, and the Southern area voted to join Cameroon.<ref>Nohlen, D, Krennerich, M & Thibaut, B (1999) ''Elections in Africa: A data handbook'', p177 {{ISBN|0-19-829645-2}}</ref> ==Independence and the Ahidjo era (1960–1982)== [[File:JFKWHP-AR7092-J.jpg|thumb|right|Cameroonian President Ahidjo meets U.S. President John Kennedy in 1962]] French Cameroon achieved independence on January 1, 1960. After [[Guinea]], it was the second of France's colonies in [[Sub-Saharan Africa]] to become independent. On 21 February 1960, the new nation held a constitutional referendum, approving a new constitution. On 5 May 1960, [[Ahmadou Ahidjo]] became president. Ahidjo aligned himself closely with France and allowed many French advisers and administrators to stay on as well as leaving most of the country's assets in the hands of French companies. ===Union with Southern Cameroon=== On 12 February 1961, the results of the Southern Cameroon plebiscite were announced and it was learned that Southern Cameroons had voted for unification with the Republic Of Cameroon, sometimes called "reunification" since both regions had been part of German Kamerun. To negotiate the terms of this union, the [[Foumban Conference]] was held on 16–21 July 1961. [[John Ngu Foncha]], the leader of the [[Kamerun National Democratic Party]] and the Southern Cameroons elected government represented Southern Cameroons while Ahidjo represented Cameroon. The agreement reached was a new constitution, based heavily on the version adopted in Cameroon earlier that year, but with a federal structure granting former British Cameroons - now [[West Cameroon]] - jurisdiction over certain issues and procedural rights. [[Buea]] became the capital of West Cameroon while [[Yaounde]] doubled as the federal capital and East Cameroonian capital. Neither side was particularly satisfied as Ahidjo had wanted a unitary or more centralized state while the West Cameroonians had wanted more explicit protections. On 14 August 1961, the federal constitution was adopted, with Ahidjo as president. Foncha became the prime minister of West Cameroon and vice president of the Federal Republic of Cameroon. The unification of British and French Cameroon has caused linguistic and cultural tensions within Cameroon, which has [[Anglophone Crisis|led to violence]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Deutsche |first1=Welle |title=Cameroon: Colonial Past and Present Friction |url=https://www.dw.com/en/cameroon-colonial-past-and-present-frictions/a-37344849 |website=DW.com |publisher=DW}}</ref> ===Civil War and repression=== The UPC, many among whom espoused [[Marxist]] or other leftist ideologies and had demanded a full break with France, were not satisfied with Ahidjo's rule and close cooperation with the French. They did not lay down their arms at independence and sought to overthrow Ahidjo's regime, which they viewed as too subservient to France. Ahidjo requested continued French assistance in suppressing the UPC rebels in what became known as the [[Bamileke War]], after the region where much of the fighting took place. The UPC was ultimately defeated with government forces capturing the last important rebel leader in 1970. During the intervening years, Ahidjo used emergency powers granted due to the war and the fear of further ethnic conflict to consolidate power. He implemented a highly centralized and authoritarian government that used arbitrary police custody, prohibition of meetings and rallies, submission of publications to prior censorship, restriction of freedom of movement through the establishment of passes or curfews, and a prohibition on trade unions to prevent opposition. Anyone accused of "compromising public safety" was handled outside traditional criminal process without the right to a lawyer or any appeal. Sentences of life imprisonment, hard labor or death were numerous, and executions were often public. In 1966, opposition parties were banned and Cameroon became a [[one-party state]].<ref name=modo /> On 28 March 1970, Ahidjo was re-elected as president with 100% of the vote and 99.4% turnout.<ref>[[Dieter Nohlen]], Michael Krennerich & Bernhard Thibaut (1999) ''Elections in Africa: A data handbook'', p183 {{ISBN|0-19-829645-2}}</ref> [[Solomon Tandeng Muna]] became vice president. In 1972, a referendum was held on a new constitution, which replaced the federation between East and West with a unitary state called the '''United Republic of Cameroon''' and further expanded the power of the president.

He didn't follow the anti-western policies pursued by many of these leaders, which helped Cameroon achieve a degree of comparative political stability, retain Western investment, and see fairly steady economic growth. ===Discovery of oil=== Cameroon became an oil-producing country in 1977.

Ahidjo left for France and publicly accused Biya of abuse of power. Ahidjo sought to use his continuing control over the party apparatus to sideline Biya, by causing the party, not the President to set the government's agenda. However, at the party conference in September, Biya was elected to lead the party and Ahidjo resigned.<ref name="WaPo Revolt" /> In January 1984, Biya was elected president of the country, running unopposed.

Biya won with 40% of the vote against 36 for his closest competitor and 19 for another opposition party. In Parliament, Biya's ruling party [[1992 Cameroonian parliamentary election|on a plurality with 45% of the votes]] but failed to obtain a majority. The competitiveness of the election was not to Biya's liking and subsequent elections have been widely criticized by opposition parties and international observers as rigged and suffering from numerous and widespread irregularities. The ruling party has had no trouble gaining large majorities. Pressure from Anglophone groups in former British Cameroons resulted in changes to the [[Constitution of Cameroon|constitution]] in 1996, which purported to decentralize power but fell short of Anglophone demands to reestablish the federal structure. As a result of continued opposition, many of the changes adopted in 1996 have never been fully implemented and power remains highly centralized in the President.<ref name="Historical Dictionary" /> ===Bakassi border conflict=== [[File:Un-bakassi.png|thumb|right|Bakassi Peninsula]] Bakassi is a peninsula on the Gulf of Guinea between the [[Cross River (Nigeria)|Cross River]] estuary and the [[Rio del Rey]] estuary on the east. The area was administered by Nigeria through the colonial era. However, after independence, efforts to demarcate the border revealed that a 1913 agreement between Britain and Germany, placed Bakassi in German Cameroon and accordingly should belong to Cameroon. Nigeria pointed to other colonial-era documents and agreements and their long history of administration to object to this narrative. The competing claims grew contentious after oil was discovered in the region. An agreement between the two countries in 1975 was derailed by a [[1975 Nigerian coup d'état|coup in Nigeria]]. In 1981, clashes between Nigerian and Cameroonian forces resulted in several deaths and nearly led to war between the two nations. The border saw further clashes several times throughout the 1980s. In 1993, the situation worsened with both countries sending large military contingents to the region and numerous reports of skirmishes and attacks against civilians. On 29 March 1994, Cameroon referred the matter to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). In October 2002, the International Court of Justice ruled in favor of Cameroon. However, the ruling was resisted by Nigeria. Pressure from the UN and international community and the threat of withdrawal of foreign aid ultimately forced Nigeria to acquiesce and in 2006 the [[Greentree Agreement]] laid out a plan for the transfer of administration over two years. The transfer was successfully accomplished but many inhabitants of the peninsula retained their Nigerian citizenship and remain dissatisfied with the transition. Low-level violence continued until it was subsumed in the [[Anglophone Crisis]] in 2017. ===2008 protests=== In February 2008, Cameroon experienced widespread violent unrest as a strike by transport workers opposing high fuel prices and poor working conditions coincided with President Paul Biya's announcement that he wanted the constitution to be amended to remove term limits. Biya was scheduled to leave power at the end of his term in 2011. After several days of widespread rioting, looting, and reports of gunfire in all the major cities, calm was eventually restored after a crackdown with thousands arrested, and at least several dozen killed. The government announced lower fuel prices, increased wages for the military and civil servants, and decreased duties on key foodstuffs and construction materials. Many opposition groups reported additional harassment and restrictions on speech, gatherings, and political activity in the wake of the protests. Ultimately, the constitutional term limits were revoked and Biya was reelected in 2011 in an election criticized by the opposition and international observers as plagued by irregularities and low turnout.<ref>{{cite news |title=Turnout Low in Cameroon Presidential Poll |url=https://www.voanews.com/a/presidential-voting-off-to-slow-start-in-cameroon-131413838/146397.html |access-date=24 September 2021 |agency=VOA |date=October 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Cameroon election deeply flawed, says US envoy |url=https://www.france24.com/en/20111020-cameroon-election-deeply-flawed-says-biya-jackson-us-ambassador |access-date=24 September 2021 |agency=AFP |date=October 20, 2011}}</ref> ==Contemporary issues== ===Boko Haram=== [[FILE:ISWAP and Boko Haram territory in early 2019.png|thumb|right|Map of Boko Haram impacted areas including northern Cameroon]] In 2014, the [[Boko Haram insurgency]] spread into Cameroon from Nigeria.

In September 2017, the protests and the government's response to them escalated into an [[Anglophone Crisis|armed conflict]], with separatists declaring the independence of [[Ambazonia]] and starting a [[Guerrilla warfare|guerilla war]] against the [[Cameroon Armed Forces|Cameroonian Army]]. ==Football== Cameroon has received some international attention following the relative success of its [[Cameroon national football team|football team]]. The team has qualified for the FIFA World Cup eight times, more than any other African team. However, the team has only made it out of the group stage once, in 1990, when they became the first African team to reach the quarter-final of the World Cup. They have also won five Africa Cup of Nations. ==See also== *[[Ambazonia]] *[[History of Africa]] *[[Politics of Cameroon]] *[[List of heads of government of Cameroon]] *[[List of heads of state of Cameroon]] * Douala [[Douala#History|history]] and [[Timeline of Douala|timeline]] * Yaoundé [[Yaounde#History|history]] and [[Timeline of Yaounde|timeline]] ==References== * [https://2009-2017.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/26431.htm Background Note: Cameroon] from the U.S. Department of State. * Bullock, A.

Cameroon}} The '''politics of Cameroon''' takes place in the context of an [[electoral autocracy]] where multi-party elections have been held since 1992, the ruling party wins every election, and [[Paul Biya]] has been president since 1982.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Letsa |first=Natalie Wenzell |date=2024 |title=Partisanship and Political Socialization in Electoral Autocracies

system|presidential]] republic, whereby the [[President of Cameroon]] is both [[head of state]] and [[head of government]], and of a [[multi-party system]]. A prime ministerial position exists and is nominally head of government, implying a [[Semi-presidential republic|semi-presidential]] system, although de facto the prime minister only serves to assist the president. [[Executive power]] is exercised by the government. [[Legislative power]] is vested in both the [[Forms of government|government]] and the [[National Assembly of Cameroon]]. ==Political background== The government adopted legislation in 1997 to authorize the formation of multiple political parties and ease restrictions on forming civil associations and private newspapers. Cameroon's first multiparty legislative and presidential elections were held in 1992, followed by municipal elections in 1996 and another round of legislative and presidential elections in 1997. Because the government refused to consider opposition demands for an independent election commission, the three major opposition parties boycotted the October 1997 presidential election, which Biya easily won. The leader of one of the opposition parties, [[Bello Bouba Maigari]] of the [[National Union for Democracy and Progress (Cameroon)|NUDP]], subsequently joined the government. Cameroon has a number of independent newspapers. Censorship was abolished in 1996, but the government sometimes seizes or suspends newspapers and occasionally arrests journalists. Although a 1990 law authorizes private radio and television stations, the government has not granted any licenses as of March 1998. The Cameroonian Government's [[Human rights in Cameroon|human rights record]] has been improving over the years but remains flawed. There continue to be reported abuses, including beatings of detainees, arbitrary arrests, and illegal searches. The judiciary is frequently corrupt, inefficient, and subject to political influence.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120807234321/http://report.globalintegrity.org/Cameroon/2008/ ''Global Integrity Report: Cameroon 2008''] {{webarchive |url=https://archive.today/20120713025819/http://report.globalintegrity.org/Cameroon/2008 |date=13 July 2012}} Retrieved 14 February 2012.</ref> Worthy of note is the fact that Cameroon is the only country in which two Constitutions are applicable side by side. For example, the 1972 Constitution designates the Prime Minister as constitutional successor of the Head of State in case of incapacity, death, resignation or unaccountable absence of the incumbent. Contrarily, the 1996 Constitutional Reform designates the President of the Senate as constitutional successor; but the Senate (provided for by 1996 Reform) does not exist. Apart from increasing the presidential mandate from 5 years to 7 years, very few amendments of the 1996 Constitutional Reform have been applied. ==Executive branch== {{office-table}} |[[President of Cameroon|President]] |[[Paul Biya]] |[[Cameroon People's Democratic Movement]] |6 November 1982 |- |[[Prime Minister of Cameroon|Prime Minister]] |[[Joseph Ngute|Joseph Dion Ngute]] |[[Cameroon People's Democratic Movement]] |4 January 2019 |} [[Image:Paul biya and colin powell.jpg|thumb|left|Cameroon President [[Paul Biya]] (right) with [[Colin Powell]]|alt=Colin Powell and Cameroon president Paul Biya, smiling and talking]] The 1972 constitution of the '''Republic of Cameroon''' as modified by 1996 reforms provides for a strong central government dominated by the executive. The [[Presidents of Cameroon|president]] is empowered to name and dismiss cabinet members (regardless of parliamentary representation), judges, generals, provincial governors, [[prefect]]s, [[sub-prefect]]s, and heads of Cameroon's [[parastatal]] (about 100 state-controlled) firms, obligate or disburse expenditures, approve or veto regulations, declare states of emergency, and appropriate and spend profits of parastatal firms. The president is not required to consult the National Assembly. In 2008, a constitutional amendment was passed that eliminated term limits for president.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Cameroon parliament extends Biya's term limit |url=http://www.france24.com/en/20080411-cameroon-parliament-paul-biya-term-limit-extension |url-status=live |publisher=France 24 |date=11 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091008042404/http://www.france24.com/en/20080411-cameroon-parliament-paul-biya-term-limit-extension |archive-date=8 October 2009}}</ref> The judiciary is subordinate to the executive branch's [[Ministry of Justice of Cameroon|Ministry of Justice]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Official Ministry of Justice of Cameroon site |url=http://minjustice.gov.cm/}}</ref> The [[Supreme court]] may review the constitutionality of a law only at the president's request. All local government officials are employees of the central government's Ministry of Territorial Administration, from which local governments also get most of their budgets. While the president, the minister of justice, and the president's judicial advisers (the Supreme Court) top the judicial hierarchy, traditional rulers, courts, and councils also exercise functions of government. Traditional courts still play a major role in domestic, property, and [[probate law]]. [[Tribal law]]s and customs are honored in the formal court system when not in conflict with national law. Traditional rulers receive stipends from the national government. ==Legislative branch== The 180-member [[National Assembly (Cameroon)|National Assembly]] meets in ordinary session three times a year (March/April, June/July, and November/December), and has seldom, until recently, made major changes in legislation proposed by the executive. Laws are adopted by majority vote of members present or, if the president demands a second reading, of a total membership. Following government pledges to reform the strongly centralized 1972 constitution, the National Assembly adopted a number of amendments in December 1995 which were promulgated in January 1996. The amendments call for the establishment of a 100-member [[senate]] as part of a [[bicameral legislature]], the creation of regional councils, and the fixing of the presidential term to 7 years, renewable once. One-third of senators are to be appointed by the President, and the remaining two-thirds are to be chosen by indirect elections. The government has established the [[Senate (Cameroon)|Senate]] in 2013. ==Political parties and elections== {{main article|List of political parties in Cameroon|Elections in Cameroon}} <ref>{{Cite web |title=Elections in Cameroon |url=https://africanelections.tripod.com/cm.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260408153455/https://africanelections.tripod.com/cm.html |archive-date=2026-04-08 |access-date=2026-04-11 |website=africanelections.tripod.com}}</ref> {{empty section|date=April 2026}} ==Judicial branch== The judiciary is subordinate to the executive branch's [[Ministry of Justice of Cameroon|Ministry of Justice]].
