Cameroonians
Douala's fellow citizens
Cameroonians are people from Cameroon, a country in Central Africa.
The term covers both citizens and those of Cameroonian descent: Cameroonians speak both French and English as official languages.
The country's linguistic divide—French-speaking majority, English-speaking minority—shapes Cameroonian identity and politics.
