Cameroon

Cameroon
Cameroon first inhabitants were the Pygmies, Bantus and Muslims. Cameroon attracted traders from all parts of the world through  the ocean, land borders and air travelling.

Missionaries arrived in the early-19th century, and the land was subsequently colonized by Germans who set their sights on improving the quality and standard of life.

In the early 1900’s during World War I, the Cameroon army were shipped to assist the Europeans in combat. Cameroon was later invaded and colonize by both Britain and France. The British colonized Cameroon and later the French came and colonize East Cameroon. Today, the country is bilingual, united and speaks both English and French.

Both the British and French integrated their cultures and advanced the country’s infrastructures in much of the same way as permitted. Today, the country is facing major challenges to keep up with the Western world infrastructure development systems such as Expansion of Roads, Water supplies, Light, Drainage systems and manufacturing companies.

Cameroon first considered becoming independence in 1960, but then a long series of internal political juggling between north and south, and the bloody coups of the 1980s delayed that process until the 1990s.

Amidst the political turmoil, a natural disaster occurred on August 15, 1984, as Lake Monoun exploded in a limnic eruption, and released carbon dioxide into the air. A larger eruption at Lake Nyos in 1986 killed upwards of 1,800 citizens and 3,500 livestock; both disasters are the only two ever recorded of their kind.

Paul Biya was born 13 February 1933. He is a Cameroonian politician who has been the President of Cameroon since 6 November 1982. A native of Cameroon’s south, Biya rose rapidly as a bureaucrat under President Ahmadou Ahidjo in the 1960s, serving as Secretary-General of the Presidency from 1968 to 1975 and then as Prime Minister of Cameroon from 1975 to 1982. He succeeded Ahidjo as President upon the latter’s surprise resignation in 1982 and consolidated power in a 1983–1984 power struggle with his predecessor.

A union strike in Douala in February 2008 culminated into violent protests, becoming the worst act of violence the country had seen in 15 years – in spite of the incessant tension mounting over decades past.

Cameroon is ethnically diverse within it’s different provinces. Most of the economy is supported by foreign companies. The country is responsible of providing Social Security benefits to their retired employees till age 120 years. Property taxes should be eliminated for the retirees and their utility bills should be at minimum.

It’s presumed that most developing countries mimic the Western world to set up Retired Age brackets/Benefits. Tourism is one of their source of income, enjoying beach areas in Douala, Kribi, Bota, Dibuncha, the interesting capital city of Yaoundé, and the abundant wildlife of the national parks, especially elephants found in Waza National Park.

Edea has a population of 203,149 making it the 2nd largest city in Littoral. It operates on the WAT time zone, which means that it follows the same time zone as Douala. Edea power supply is primarily from waterfall generation similar to that of Idaho power company.
