With a population of around 25 million, it is one of the larger countries in Africa. The capital and largest city is Yaoundé, but the most populous city is Douala.
Cameroon has a rich history, dating back to ancient times when the region was part of various empires and kingdoms. In the 19th century, the region came under German, and later French and British, colonial rule. After gaining independence from France and the United Kingdom in 1960, the country underwent a series of political upheavals and changes in government.
The country's economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, but it also has a significant oil and mining sector. Cameroon is one of the poorest countries in Africa, and it has been facing challenges such as high levels of poverty, food insecurity, and limited access to education and healthcare.
Cameroon has a diverse culture, with influences from various ethnic groups and the French and British colonial periods. The country is known for its traditional music and dance, such as the "makossa" and "bikutsi," as well as its traditional festivals, such as the "New Yam Festival" and "Eid al-Fitr." The country is also known for its delicious cuisine, which is heavily influenced by its history and its location in Central Africa.
In recent years, the government has been working to improve the business environment and to attract more foreign investment.
