Description

Cameroon is one of the intriguing countries in Africa, often viewed as Africa in miniature. Geographically, it comprises very different regions; economically, it covers a broad mix of products and sectors; and ethnically, it includes an amazing number of groups living within a fairly small area. Being Africa in miniature is great for tourism, yet it creates problems and complications for everything else.
