    Extractions: The majority of the population of approximately 16.3 million resided in rural areas; agriculture accounted for 24 percent of gross domestic product. Real gross domestic product growth has averaged 4 to 5 percent annually with approximately 2 percent inflation. However, a rather large parastatal sector, excessive public-sector employment, and the Government's inability to deregulate the economy inhibited private investment and further economic recovery. Widespread corruption within the business sector and the Government also impeded growth. Members of the Beti ethnic group, including the Bulu subgroup, figured prominently in the Government, civil service, and the management of state-owned businesses. ...

    Extractions: Description: The School for International Training's Study Abroad programs offer field-based study in over 57 countries. Students earn 16 semester credits on a 15-week experience designed to encourage a global awareness that enables people to live and act in an interdependent world. Groups of seven to 25 students are lead by one or two academic directors. Cameroon is a nation of diversity, both in its cultural and natural environments. Its dense tropical rainforest, central savannah, and northern semi-desert are home to over 125 ethnic groups and nearly as many languages and dialects. Imbued with tradition, as evidenced by its famed folklore, art, music, and wide variety of family systems, Cameroon also integrates three colonial heritages ' French, British and German ' into its ethnic mix. Today, social and economic development is presenting unique challenges to Cameroon's ethnic pluralism and traditional lifestyles.

    Extractions: Afro-Dit Artistic Ethnographic Tourist Art: Cameroon Metal Figures by Steve Price Collectors of African tribal art tend to reject "tourist art" (objects made for sale to the tourist, or to the west for decorative use). The attitude is that such items lack the authenticity and, consequently, the ethnographic interest, of objects made for use within the tribal community. They are usually right, of course. Such items generally reflect a Eurocentric view of Africa and its peoples, and are almost never accurate reproductions of items produced within tribal settings for internal purposes (often ritual). There is a small subset of items made for sale to tourists and to western buyers that are artistically interesting and ethnographically informative. It was my great good fortune to stumble upon a small collection of one genre of such things at the auction of a missionary's estate in Richmond, Virginia, about 10 years ago. Nobody else at the sale had any interest in this lot, and I acquired all of it for about $10. The items are all cast metal - brass, except for one piece that is bronze, mae in Cameroon around 1930.

Living in an area of Canada that's dependent upon forestry, this was of particular interest. The city offers a wide variety of interesting shops, and we spent several days going back and forth to the tailors having purchased bolts of colorful fabric for custom made African Clothing.

Artists from Ghana, Togo, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon and Nigeria are presenting their works reflecting the interaction with American and European art, covering the theme termed the "Atlantic Triangle". The travelling exhibition, organised by the German Goethe Institute, has now reached its final destination, Yaoundé. Starting its voyage in Berlin, the Intrafrika+ exhibition continued to Dakar (Senegal) and other African cities where the Goethe Institute is present. In Yaoundé, capital of the German ex-colony Kamerun, the exhibition now finds its culmination. Eight artists and three countries. In this way - as an integration and experimentation between different continents - the idea of Intrafrika+ was created. With the support of the Goethe Institute and the initiative of German artist Werner Reister, African artists encounter with American and European influences. The result is artwork of the most pure contemporary stile.

The Dei ethnic group are a vanguard group of Bassa that settled Liberia in waves. The ethnic groups of Liberia can be divided into five major groups: The Dei would settle first and would later be joined by the Gola ethinc group before any of the other Bassa groups arrived. The Gola ethnic group originated somewhere in Central-Africa. During the Empire of Ancient Ghana they were heavily involved in the land-surveying and judicial aspects of the empire. The other ethnic groups that fall under the Mande-Tan, Mande-Fu were also members of Ancient Ghana. Because of the their influence in the judicial aspects of the Ghana, the Gola's social structure dominated through the Poro. With the influx of Islam many groups adopted while others resisted. The Golas fought three wars with pro-Islamic elements in a changing Ghana. These wars were known as the Kumba wars. The Golas lost the third of these wars and were forced to retreat toward, Sierra Leone. They were pursued by the Mende, Gbandi and Loma. Their battles with the Mende in Sierra Leone forced them to retreat yet again and settle finally in Liberia where they encountered the Dei.

    Extractions: Stretching from the fringes of the Sahara in the north to the borders of Congo and Gabon in the south, Cameroon is a striking study in diversity. The country’s four distinct geographic regions encompass everything from lush rain forests to rugged volcanic peaks, from spectacular waterfalls to the cruel beauty of the desert landscape. And Cameroon’s ethnic make-up is no less varied than its geography: The north is populated by Hausa, Fulbé, Sudanese, and Choa Arab peoples; in the west the Bamiléké are the largest ethnic group, followed by the Tiker and the Bamoun; and the area south of the River Sanaga is home to several Bantu groups, among them, Fang, Ewondo, Boulou, Eton, Bassa, Bakoko, and Douala. Combined with Cameroon’s colonial past of German, French, and British occupation, the country has a complicated ethnic identity. The School for International Training’s (SIT) Cameroon Culture and Development Program is based in the small German-founded town of Dschang. The program devotes itself to examining several contrasting influences in this diverse country, including urban and rural sociological factors, colonial and independent historical heritages, Anglophone and Francophone cultural facets, and rain forest and desert geography.

    Extractions: Linguistik online The Language Question in Cameroon George Echu (Yaounde/Bloomington) The Republic of Cameroon is a multilingual country comprising some 247 indigenous languages, one lingua franca (Cameroon Pidgin English) and two official languages (English and French). These official languages are the heritage of Franco-British rule in the country between the end of the First World War and Independence. This peculiar heterogeneous language situation does not facilitate linguistic communication; on the contrary, it constitutes a major handicap to linguistic communication in view of the absence of a nation-wide lingua franca that serves as a common linguistic idiom. Moreover, the unequal distribution in the usage of English and French as official languages is also a cause for concern since it affects negatively the policy of official language bilingualism. In short, language policy in the country lacks clear-cut objectives and orientation: it does in no way sufficiently promote the indigenous languages and fails to guarantee the appropriate implementation of official language bilingualism. Hence the policy of official language bilingualism, originally aimed at guaranteeing political integration and unity of the Cameroon State, now seems to constitute a source of conflict and political disintegration. The language question in Cameroon can be traced as far back as the colonial period, a period characterized by language conflict between the colonial administrations on the one hand and missionaries on the other. For Cameroon today, the issue at stake is basically that of grappling with its highly multilingual situation, resolving the national language issue, while effectively coping with the official language bilingualism option as well as its implications.

Country Information on Nigeria However, the country's independence did not automatically strengthen internal unity among Nigeria's ethnic groups. Cameroon may be divided into three geographical regions. A small lowland basin as part of the Lake Chad basin is located in the country's north. Further south, there is the Benoue Valley and the Adamaoua mountain range that rises to an altitude of up to 1,400 m. Inland areas and the country's south are dominated by a highland plateau with elevations reaching maximum heights of 600 m. The highland plateau is projected by numerous valleys and has the most fertile soils in Cameroon. Mount Cameroon (4,095 m) is the highest elevation in West Africa. The most prominent rivers are the Sanaga and the Nyong flowing west into the Atlantic, whereas the Mbéré and the Logone run north from the central plateau and flow into Lake Chad. A network of watercourses, including the River Benoue connects the country with the large river system of the Niger in the west and in the north.
