Charu ichi chili na mphaka na Nigeria kumanjiliro gha dazi na kumpoto, Chad kumpoto kwa kumafumiro gha dazi, Central African Republic kumafumiro gha dazi, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon na Republic of Congo kumwera. Mphepete mwa nyanja iyi pali nyanja ya Biafra, iyo yili mu nyanja ya Atlantic na Gulf of Guinea. Cifukwa ca malo ghake ghakutowa agho ghali pa mphambano pakati pa vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Africa na vya pakati pa Africa, ŵanthu ŵakughanaghana kuti charu ichi chili ku vigaŵa vyose viŵiri. Ŵanthu pafupifupi 27 miliyoni ŵakuyowoya viyowoyero vyakujumpha 250.

Ŵanthu ŵakwambilira awo ŵakakhalanga mu chigaŵa ichi ŵakaŵa ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Sao awo ŵakakhalanga kufupi na Nyanja ya Chad, kweniso ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Baka awo ŵakakhalanga mu nkhorongo ya kumwera kwa charu ichi. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1400, ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵakafika pa malo agha na kughathya Rio dos Camarões (Mlonga wa Shrimp). Ŵasilikari ŵa Fulani ŵakakhazikiska boma la Adamawa kumpoto kwa charu ichi mu ma 1800, ndipo mafuko ghakupambanapambana gha kumanjiliro gha dazi na kumpoto kwa charu ichi ghakakhazikiska vigaŵa vyawo.

## Mbili

### Mbili yakwamba
Charu icho sono chikuchemeka Cameroon, ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga mwenemumo mu nyengo ya Neolithic. Ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu charu ichi nyengo yitali chomene ni Baka (Pygmies). Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakugomezga kuti ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Bantu ŵakasamukira ku vigaŵa vya kumafumiro gha dazi, kumwera, na pakati pa Africa vyaka pafupifupi 2,000 ivyo vyajumpha. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Sao ŵakamba kukhala kufupi na Nyanja ya Chad, c. Mu 500 C.E., ufumu wa Kanem na ufumu unyake uwo ukamulondezganga ukababika. Maufumu, vyaru, na maufumu ghakawuka kumanjiliro gha dazi.

Mu 1472, ŵanthu ŵa ku Portugal ŵakafika pa dowoko ili. Ŵakawona kuti mu Mlonga wa Wouri mukaŵa shrimpu zinandi za mtundu wa Lepidophthalmus turneranus, ndipo ŵakazitcha kuti Rio dos Camarões. Mu vyaka vyakulondezgapo, ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe ŵakambiska malonda na ŵanthu ŵa mumphepete mwa nyanja.

Mu 1896, Sultani Ibrahim Njoya wakambiska ciyowoyero ca ciyowoyero ici. Mazuŵa ghano, mu Cameroon, ŵanthu ŵakusambira Baibolo ili kwizira mu pulojekiti ya Bamum Scripts and Archives.

Mu 1884, Ufumu wa Germany ukati charu ichi ntcha ku Cameroon ndipo ukamba kulimbana na ŵanthu ŵa mu charu ichi. Pa nyengo iyo boma la Germany likalamuliranga caru ici, maboma ghakawovwiranga makampani. Mu vyaru ivi ŵakagwiliskiranga ntchito ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵachichizganga kugwira ntchito mu minda ya banane, ghamayi, mafuta gha makuni, na koko. Nanga ni milimo ya kuzenga yikaŵa yakukhumbikwa. Boma linyake likasuska comene fundo iyi.

### Ufumu wa France na Britain

Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose yikati yamara, caru ca Cameroon cikaŵa pasi pa muwuso wa League of Nations ndipo cikagaŵika mu vyaru vya French Cameroon na British Cameroon mu 1919. Boma la France likawovwira kuti vinthu vyendenge makora mu Cameroon na kunozgaso vinthu vya mu charu ichi.

Ŵanandi ŵakakhalanga mu vigaŵa ivyo vikaŵa pafupi na Nigeria. Ŵanthu ŵa ku malo agha ŵakadandawura kuti ŵanthu ŵakaŵaleka waka. Ŵantchito ŵakufuma ku Nigeria ŵakiza ku Southern Cameroon, ndipo ŵakaŵakanizga kugwira nchito mwakucicizgika, kweni ŵakakwiyiska ŵanthu ŵa mu caru ici, awo ŵakajiwonanga nga ŵalije nchito. Mu 1946, mawupu gha League of Nations ghakazgoka United Nations Trusteeships, ndipo nkhani ya kujiyimira payekha yikaŵa yakuzirwa chomene mu France.

### Kujilamulila

Pa Janyuwale 1, 1960, charu cha French Cameroon chikamba kujiyimira paŵekha. Pa Okutobala 1, 1961, vyaru ivyo kale vikachemekanga British Southern Cameroons, vikajiyimira pavyake kufuma ku United Kingdom. Ahidjo wakagwiliskira nchito nkhondo iyo yikaŵa pakati pa iyo na UPC kuti wakhozge mazaza ghake, ndipo wakalutilira kucita nthena nanga ni apo UPC yikaparanyika mu 1971.

Chipani chake cha ndale, cha Cameroon National Union (CNU), chikaŵa chipani chimoza pera pa 1 Seputembala 1966 ndipo pa 20 Meyi 1972, chikaŵa na referendum yakuwuskapo boma la feduro na kwendera boma la United Republic of Cameroon. Zuŵa ili ni Zuŵa la Charu. Ahidjo wakendeskanga ndyali ya vyamalonda, ndipo wakadangizganga vyakurya vya ndalama na mafuta. Boma likagwiliskira nchito ndalama za mafuta kuti lipangire ndalama zakwendeskera vinthu, kulipira ŵalimi, na kupeleka ndalama zakwendeskera vinthu vikuruvikuru. Kweni vinthu vinandi vikenda makora yayi apo Ahidjo wakasankha ŵanthu ŵambura kuzomerezgeka kuti ŵaŵalongozge.

Mbendera ya caru yikasinthika pa 20 Meyi 1975. Ŵakawuskamo nyenyezi ziŵiri na kuŵikamo yinyake yikuru iyo yikwimira kukolerana.

Ahidjo wakafumapo pa udindo wake pa Novembala 4, 1982 ndipo wakapeleka mazaza kwa Paul Biya. Ndipouli, Ahidjo wakalutilira kuwusa CNU ndipo wakayezga kuwusa caru kufuma kumasinda mpaka apo Biya na ŵabwezi ŵake ŵakamucicizga kuti waleke. Biya wakamba kuwusa na boma la demokalase, kweni boma likati latondekapo, wakayamba kulongozga nga umo wakacitiranga mulara wake.

Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1980 m'paka m'ma 1990, kukaŵa suzgo la vyachuma chifukwa cha suzgo la vyachuma pa charu chose, chilangalanga, kukhira kwa mafuta, na vimbundi, kusuzgika na ŵabwezi. Cameroon wakathemba wovwiri wa vyaru vinyake, wakadumulizga ndalama za boma, na kupanga makampani ghanyake. Mu Disembala 1990, apo boma la Britain likambaso kwambiska vyaru vinandi, ŵanthu ŵa ku Southern Cameroons ŵakakhumbanga kuti charu ichi chiŵe na wanangwa wa kujilongozga. Dango la Ntchito la 1992 mu Cameroon likupeleka wanangwa ku ŵantchito wa kuŵa mu wupu wa ŵantchito panji kuleka kuŵa mu wupu uliwose. Wantchito wakusankha kunjira wupu uliwose wa ŵantchito mu nchito yake cifukwa pali wupu unyake wa ŵantchito mu nchito yiliyose.

Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakakomeka ndipo ŵanyake ŵakajalirika mu jele. Mu 2017, boma la Biya likakanizga ŵanthu kuchezga pa Intaneti kwa myezi yitatu. Mu Seputembala, ŵanthu ŵakugaluka ŵakamba nkhondo ya kuwukira boma kuti chigaŵa ichi chiŵe na wanangwa wakuyowoya Chingelezi. Boma likamba kuwukira boma, ndipo ŵanthu ŵakamba kuwukira mu vigaŵa vya kumpoto na kumwera kwa charu ichi. Kufumira mu 2019, nkhondo pakati pa ŵasilikari na ŵasilikari ŵa boma zikulutilira. Mu chaka cha 2020, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakakomeka chifukwa cha vigeŵenga, ndipo boma likapeleka ndalama yayi. Kwambira mu 2016, ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 450,000 ŵachimbira mu vikaya vyawo.

## Ndale na boma

Pulezidenti wa charu cha Cameroon ndiyo wakusankhika na kupanga ndondomeko, wakulongozga maboma, wakulongozga ŵasilikari, wakuchita vyamalango, ndipo wakuŵikapo mtima kuti vinthu viŵe makora. Pulezidenti wakwimika ŵalara ŵa boma pa vigaŵa vyose, kwambira pa nduna yikuru (iyo yikuwoneka nga ni mulongozgi wa boma), m'paka ku ŵalongozgi ŵa vigaŵa na ŵalara ŵa vigaŵa. Pa vilimika vinkhondi na viŵiri vilivyose, pulezidenti wakusankhika na ŵanthu. Kufuma apo charu cha Cameroon chikapokera wanangwa, pakaŵa ŵalongozgi ŵaŵiri.

Nyumba ya Malango ndiyo yikupanga malango. Wupu uwu uli na mamembara 180, ndipo ŵakusankhika kwa vyaka vinkhondi.Malango ghakupokeka na ŵanthu ŵanandi.Ndondomeko ya malango ya mu 1996 yikupanga nyumba yachiŵiri ya boma, iyo ni Senate. Boma likuzomerezga mazaza gha ŵalongozgi ŵa ndyali, fons, na lamibe kuti ŵachitenge vinthu pa malo agha na kumazga mphindano usange malango agha ghakususkana yayi na malango gha charu.

Boma la Cameroon lili na malango gha boma, malango gha ŵanthu wose, na malango gha mitheto. Nangauli boma likujiyimira palekha, kweni boma la ŵeruzgi likulamulirika na Unduna wa vya Malango.

Mapiri, tumapiri, na malo ghapachanya agho ghakumanyikwa na zina lakuti Cameroon range ghakutambazga kufuma ku Phiri la Cameroon pa m'mphepete mwa nyanja. Chigaŵa ichi chili na mphepo yakuzizima yayi, chomenechomene ku Western High Plateau. Malo agha ndigho ghakutowa comene mu Cameroon, comenecomene pafupi na Phiri la Cameroon. Ku malo agha kuli mapiri agho ghakupangika na vimalibwe. Pa Ogasiti 21, 1986, Nyanja ya Nyos, yikafumiska mphepo ya carbon dioxide ndipo yikakoma ŵanthu pakati pa 1,700 na 2,000. Wupu wa World Wildlife Fund ukati malo agha ni nkhalango za ku Cameroon.

Charu cha kumwera chikukwelera kumpoto m'paka ku chigaŵa cha Adamawa. Malo agha ghakuthandazgika kufuma ku mapiri gha kumanjiliro gha dazi na kupanga mphambano pakati pa kumpoto na kumwera kwa charu ichi. Malo agha ghali pa mtunda wa mamita 1,100, ndipo matenthedwe ghake ghakukwana 22°C mpaka 25°C. Chigaŵa cha kumpoto kwa chigaŵa ichi chikwenda kufuma mumphepete mwa mlonga wa Adamawa m'paka ku Nyanja ya Chad, ndipo chili pa mtunda wa mamita 300 m'paka 350. Vyakumera vyake ni vyakumera vya mu savani na vyakumera. Ici nchigaŵa cakomira ico kuli vivula vicoko comene ndipo cikutentha comene.

Ku Cameroon, maji ghakwenda mu nthowa zinayi. Kumwera, milonga yikuru ni Ntem, Nyong, Sanaga, na Wouri. Maji agha ghakuthira kumwera ca kumanjiliro gha dazi panji kumanjiliro gha dazi na kunjira mu nyanja ya Gulf of Guinea. Mlonga wa Dja na Kadéï ukuthira kumwera ca kumafumiro gha dazi na kunjira mu mlonga wa Congo. Mu kumpoto kwa Cameroon, Mlonga wa Bénoué ukufuma kumpoto na kumanjiliro gha dazi na kuthira mu Niger. Mlonga wa Logone ukufuma kumpoto na kunjira mu Nyanja ya Chad, iyo Cameroon yikukhala pamoza na vyaru vitatu.

## Chuma na vyakuzenga

GDP ya ku Cameroon pa munthu yumoza (Purchasing power parity) yikayaniskika na US$3,700 mu 2017. Vigaŵa vikuruvikuru ivyo ŵanthu ŵakuguliska ni Netherlands, France, China, Belgium, Italy, Algeria, na Malaysia.

Cameroon wali na vyaka 10 [pawuli?] Vinthu vikwenda makora mu vyaru ivi, ndipo GDP yikukura pafupifupi 4% pa chaka. Mu nyengo ya 2004-2008, ngongoli ya boma yikakhira kufuma pa 60% ya GDP kufika pa 10% ndipo ndalama za boma zikasazgikira kanayi kufika pa US$ 3 biliyoni. Charu cha Cameroon chili mu wupu wa Central African States Bank (umo muli vyaru vinandi), Customs and Economic Union of Central Africa (UDEAC) na Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA). Ndalama zake ni CFA franc.

Ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵavya nchito ŵakaŵa pa 3.38% mu 2019, ndipo 23.8% ya ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga pasi pa ukavu wa US$1.90 pa zuŵa mu 2014. Kwambira kuumaliro wa m'ma 1980, Cameroon wakulondezga mapulogiramu gha Banki ya Caru Cose na ya International Monetary Fund (IMF) ghakovwira kuchepeska ukavu, kupanga vyamahara, na kusazgirako cuma. Boma la Russia lachitapo kanthu kuti likhozge vyalo vya ŵanthu awo ŵakwendakwenda.

Pafupifupi 70% ya ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu minda iyi, ndipo mu 2017 ŵalimi ndiwo ŵakapanganga 16.7% ya GDP. Ŵalimi ŵa mu chigaŵa ichi ndiwo ŵakulima chomene. Ŵakuguliska vyakurya ivyo vyakhalako, ndipo ŵanyake ŵakuguliska minda yawo. Malo gha mu matawuni ghakuthemba comene pa ulimi wa ŵalimi. Charu ichi chili na malo ghawemi chomene ndipo ŵanthu ŵakutemwa kulima banane, koko, mafuta gha makuni gha maolive, mphira, na tiyi. Mu vigaŵa vya kumwera kwa Cameroon, ŵanthu ŵakupanda khofi, shuga, na hona. Mu vigaŵa vya kumanjiliro gha dazi, khofi ni vyakurya vyakuzirwa chomene, ndipo kumpoto, vyakumera nga ni thonje, phere, na mpunga vikupambika makora. Mu 2004, ku Cameroon ŵakamba kupanga thonje lakufuma ku vyakumera vya Fairtrade.
Viŵeto vikuŵikika mu caru cose. Ŵanthu 5,000 ŵakugwira nchito yaulovi ndipo chaka cilicose ŵakurya matani ghakujumpha 100,000 gha vyakurya vya mu nyanja. Mu vigaŵa vya ku mizi, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakutemwa kurya nyama ya vinyama. Sono malonda gha nyama za mu nkhorongo ghajumpha kukoma makuni, ndipo ni suzgo likuru chomene ku vyamoyo vya mu nkhorongo mu Cameroon.

Nkhorongo ya kumwera kwa caru ici yili na makuni ghanandi comene, agho ghakukwana 37% ya caru cose ca Cameroon. Kweni malo ghanandi gha mu nkhorongo agha ngakusuzga kufika. Kuzenga makuni, uko ŵanthu ŵakufuma ku vyaru vinyake ndiwo ŵakuchitako, kukovwira boma kusanga ndalama zakukwana madola 60 miliyoni pa chaka (kwambira mu 1998), ndipo malango ghakukhumba kuti makuni ghakhalenge makora. Ndipouli, nchito iyi njimoza mwa nchito izo zilije malango ghanandi mu Cameroon.

Mu 2017, makampani ghakupanga vinthu ghakapanga pafupifupi 26.5% ya GDP. Vigaŵa vyakujumpha 75 peresenti vya mafakitale gha ku Cameroon vili ku Douala na Bonabéri. Charu cha Cameroon chili na vinthu vinandi vyakututuŵa, kweni vikuguliskika viŵi yayi. Kufumira waka mu 1986, mulimo wa kunozga mafuta wachepa, kweni uwu ni msonkho ukuru comene mwakuti ukukhwaska comene cuma. Mlonga wa kumwera uli na majigha na maji ghakututuka, kweni malo agha ndigho ghakovwira kupanga magesi na kupeleka nkhongono ku vyaru vinandi. Mlonga wa Sanaga ndiwo ukupeleka nkhongono ku malo ghakurughakuru gha magesi agho ghali ku Edéa. Magesi ghanyake ghose agho Cameroon wakugwiliskira nchito ghakufuma ku mafuta. Vigaŵa vinandi mu caru ici vicali vyambura magesi.

Kanandi vikusuzga kwenda mu Cameroon. Pa misewu yose iyo yili mu charu ichi, ni 6.6% pera iyo yili na phura. Kanandi para ŵapolisi na ŵasilikari ŵakugwiliskira nchito vyakujara misewu, ŵakupeleka vimbundi ku ŵanthu. Kwamba mu 2005, suzgo ili lakura chomene kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Central African Republic.

Doko la ku Douala

Mabasi agho ghakwendeskeka na maboma ghakupambanapambana ghakukolerana na misumba yikuruyikuru. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakwenda pa njanji izi. Njanji iyi yikwenda kufuma ku Kumba kumanjiliro gha dazi m'paka ku Bélabo kumafumiro gha dazi na kumpoto m'paka ku Ngaoundéré. Malo gha ndege gha pa caru cose ghali ku Douala na Yaoundé, ndipo ghacitatu ghali ku Maroua. Msumba wa Douala ndiwo ni msumba ukuru wa ku malo agha. Kumpoto, mlonga wa Bénoué ukufuma ku Garoua m'paka ku Nigeria.

Nangauli wanangwa wa vyakupharazga wawovwira comene kwambira mu vyaka vya m'ma 2000, kweni pa nyengo yasono ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuchita vimbundi. Nyengo zose manyuzipepara ghakujisuzga kuti boma lileke kuŵasuzga. Ma wayilesi na mawayilesi ghakurughakuru ni gha boma, ndipo mawoko ghanyake nga ni mafoni na matelefoni ghakufuma ku charu, ghakwendeskeka na boma. Kweni kufuma mu vyaka vya m'ma 2000, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakugwiliskira ntchito mafoni na Intaneti.

## Ŵanthu

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Cameroon ŵakaŵa 27,198,628 mu  . Ŵanalume ŵakakhazganga kukhala vyaka 62.3 (60.6 kwa ŵanalume na 64 kwa ŵanakazi).

Mu Cameroon, ŵanakazi mbanandi comene (50,5%) kuluska ŵanalume (49,5%). Ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 60 pa 100 ŵali na vyaka vyambura kukwana 25. Ŵanthu awo ŵali na vyaka vyakujumpha 65 ŵalipo 3.11% pera.

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Cameroon ŵakukhala mu misumba na mizi. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakukhala mu misumba yikuruyikuru, mu vigaŵa vya kumanjiliro gha dazi, na kumpoto kwa charu. Msumba ukuru chomene ni Douala, Yaoundé, na Garoua. Kweni ku Adamawa Plateau, kumwera kwa Bénoué, na ku South Cameroon Plateau, ŵanthu mbachoko chomene.

Wupu wa vyaumoyo pa charu chose (World Health Organization) ukati mu 2013, chiŵelengero cha ŵanthu awo ŵakababikanga chikaŵa 4.8 ndipo chiŵelengero cha ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu charu ichi chikakwera na 2.56%.

Ŵanthu ŵakufuma ku vigaŵa vya kumanjiliro gha dazi uko kuli ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene kweniso ku vigaŵa vya kumpoto uko kuli ŵanthu ŵachoko chomene ŵakuluta ku malo ghakupwanthirako vyakumera gha mumphepete mwa nyanja na ku misumba kuti ŵakasange nchito. Ŵanandi ŵakufumapo yayi pa nyumba zawo cifukwa cakuti ŵantchito ŵakucita nchito mu mafakitale gha makuni na malo ghanyake gha kumwera na kumafumiro gha dazi. Nangauli chiŵelengero cha ŵanalume na ŵanakazi pa caru cose nchakuyana waka, kweni ŵanalume ndiwo ŵakunjira mu caru ici.
Ŵanthu ŵakutora ŵanakazi ŵanandi panji ŵanakazi pera, ndipo mbumba ya ku Cameroon njikulu comene. Ku chigaŵa cha kumpoto, ŵanakazi ndiwo ŵakupwelelera nyumba, ndipo ŵanalume ŵakuliska viŵeto panji ŵalimi. Ku vigaŵa vya kumwera, ŵanakazi ndiwo ŵakupanda vyakurya, ndipo ŵanalume ndiwo ŵakupanda nyama na vyakurya. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ku Cameroon mbanalume, ndipo nkhaza na kusankhana pakati pa ŵanakazi vyazara chomene.

Ŵanthu ŵa mafuko na viyowoyero vyakupambanapambana mu Cameroon ŵalipo pakati pa 230 na 282. Chigaŵa cha Adamawa chikupatura vigaŵa ivi mu vigaŵa vya kumpoto na kumwera. Ŵanthu awo ŵakukhala kumpoto kwa charu ichi ni Ŵasudani awo ŵakukhala mu vigaŵa vya mapiri na vyakumwera. Ŵanthu ŵachoko waka ŵa mtundu wa Shuwa ŵakukhala kufupi na Nyanja ya Chad. Kumwera kwa Cameroon kuli ŵanthu awo ŵakuyowoya viyowoyero vya Bantu na Semi-Bantu. Ŵanthu awo ŵakuyowoya viyowoyero vya Bantu ŵakukhala mu vigaŵa vya mumphepete mwa nyanja na ku equator, ndipo awo ŵakuyowoya viyowoyero vya Semi-Bantu ŵakukhala mu vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi. Ŵanthu pafupifupi 5,000 ŵa mtundu wa Gyele na Baka ŵakwenda mu nkhorongo za kumwera na kumafumiro gha dazi kwa charu ichi, panji ŵakukhala mu mizi yichoko iyo yili mumphepete mwa misewu. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Nigeria ndiwo mbanandi comene pa ŵanthu wose awo ŵali kufuma ku vyaru vinyake.

### Ŵakuchimbira kwawo

Mu 2007, caru ca Cameroon cikapokelera ŵanthu pafupifupi 97,400 awo ŵakacimbira kwawo. Pa ŵanthu aŵa, 49,300 ŵakafuma ku Central African Republic (ŵanandi ŵakacimbizgika kumanjiliro gha dazi cifukwa ca nkhondo), 41,600 ŵakafuma ku Chad, ndipo 2,900 ŵakafuma ku Nigeria. Kufuma mu 2005, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Cameroon ŵakukoleka na vigeŵenga vya ku Central Africa.
