    Extractions: Cameroon Culture Cameroon's split Anglo-French personality is further complicated by its bewildering array of African ethnic groups and languages. Of over 130 ethnic groups, however, there are 5 major ones: Bamil©k© and Bamoun in the west, Fulani and Kirdi in the north, and Ewondo around Yaound©. The Bamil©k© are the most populous group in the western highlands and one of the largest communities in Douala, where they have taken control of much of Cameroon's economy. In their rural homeland, there are some 80-odd political units ruled by strongly independent chefferies (chiefs). Within each unit there are numerous secret societies responsible for the preservation of rituals. By contrast, the Bamoun are governed by a single leader called the sultan Whereas the south has been in contact with Europe for over 500 years, until the 20th century the north was part of quasi-feudal Muslim Fulani kingdoms centered in Nigeria, and tradition and resistance to outside influence remain strong. This isolation has kept Western-style development to a minimum. Most northerners, however, are neither Fulani nor Muslim but Kirdi, the Fulani word for pagan. The Kirdi are comprised of tribes driven by the Fulani into the inhospitable and isolated rocky areas near the Nigerian border. Both French and English are official languages, though French is more widely spoken, especially in large, modern cities such as Yaound© and Douala. About 10% of the country relies primarily on a pidgin English, mainly in the western provinces near Nigeria. Among the many African languages spoken in Cameroon, the five major ones are Bamil©k©, Ewondo, Bamoun, Fulfulde and Arabic. Among the country's best-known writers are the novelists Kenjo Jumbam and Mongo Beti, both of whom have written about Cameroon's relationship with its European colonisers.

    Extractions: A vision of peace was the inspiration for the founding of IFUW. Three women graduates, Virginia Gildersleeve from the United States, and Rose Sidgwick and Carolyn Spurgeon from Great Britain met together at the end of the first world war in 1919 and decided that " We should have an international association of university women, so that we at least shall have done all we can to prevent such a catastrophe ". Promoting a culture of peace through education has been an underlying aim of the Federation ever since and is a high priority in our current Study and Action Programme theme, Globalization: Connections through Education . In recent years IFUW has adopted very specific policies related to peace, addressing rape as a war crime, the rights of refugees, nuclear disarmament, the use of anti-personnel landmines, the need for participation of women in all aspects of the peacemaking process, and the denial of human rights to women and girls in Afghanistan. The United Nations General Assembly declared the year 2000 as the International Year of the Culture of Peace and the period 2001-2010 as the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World. To mark the International Year of the Culture of Peace, IFUW signed a special agreement with UNESCO to become a partner in this effort by organizing special activities and circulating the Manifesto for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence. IFUW and its national affiliates also participated in the global campaign Women Building Peace: From the Village Council to the Negotiating Table.

    Extractions: Country Info Cameroon Introduction Cameroon General Data Cameroon Maps Cameroon Culture ... Cameroon Time and Date Cameroon People Back to Top The Sudanic-speaking peoples include the Sao, who live on the Adamawa Plateau; the Fulani; and the Kanuri. The Fulani came from the Niger basin in two waves, in the 11th and 19th centuries; they were Muslims who converted and subjugated the peoples of the Logone valley and the Kébi and Faro river valleys. The third ethnic group consists mainly of small tribes, except for the Bantu-related Bamileke, who live between the lower slopes of the Adamawa Plateau and Mount Cameroon. Other western Semi-Bantu-speaking tribes include the Tikar, who live in the Bamenda region and in the western high plateau. The population of Cameroon (2001 estimate) is 15,803,220. The overall population density is 33 persons per sq km (86 per sq mi). Cameroon contains about 200 ethnic groups who speak 24 major languages. The capital is Yaoundé (greater city population, 1997 estimate, 1,000,000). Douala, on the Bight of Biafra, with an estimated population of 1,500,000 in 1997, is the chief port. Other principal towns include Garoua (160,000) and Maroua (140,000). About 25 percent of the population adheres to traditional religions; about 22 percent of the population is Muslim; the remaining majority is Christian. Muslims predominate in the north and Christians in the south. Cameroon's estimated 250 ethnic groups form five large regional cultural groups: western highlanders (or grassfielders), including the Bamileke, Bamoun, and many smaller entities in the northwest (est. 38% of population); coastal tropical forest peoples, including the Bassa, Douala, and many smaller entities in the Southwest (12%); southern tropical forest peoples, including the Ewondo, Bulu, and Fang (all Beti subgroups), Maka and Pygmies (officially called Bakas) (18%); predominantly Islamic peoples of the northern semi-arid regions (the Sahel) and central highlands, including the Fulani, also known as Peuhl in French (14%); and the "Kirdi", non-Islamic or recently Islamic peoples of the northern desert and central highlands (18%).

97. Heritage At Risk 2002-2003: Cameroon
    of the international community to the lack of a substantial legislative, administrativeand institutional frame to protect the cultural heritage of cameroon.  
    http://www.international.icomos.org/risk/2002/cameroon2002.htm
    
    Extractions: In the Heritage at Risk report 2001/2002, ICOMOS Cameroon mentioned the need to train heritage department staff, so as to produce a complete inventory of the cultural and natural heritage of our country. Therefore, it is not necessary to discuss this further in this current report, other than to once again note that our country possesses a large variety of cultural sites, ranging from architecture to cultural landscapes, and natural sites that cover geological formations to forested reserves. This year, we wish to attract the attention of the international community to the lack of a substantial legislative, administrative and institutional frame to protect the cultural heritage of Cameroon. This could lead to the disappearance of the rich heritage that Cameroon currently hosts in abundance. The legislative mechanisms that are important tools in heritage protection have still not been put into place to support the action of the new heritage department. It is this department's mission to promote and preserve the rich heritage of Cameroon. As surprising as it would seem, leaving aside the government order to create the heritage department, no law exists to provide a legislative framework that prescribes the protection of cultural heritage. This has immediate consequences: the absence of a definition for the types of cultural heritage to be protected, and the spread of administrative responsibilities across the Ministries of Culture, Habitat and Urbanism, of the City, of Tourism, of Environment and Forestry, and of Town and Country Planning.

98. Cameroon Music Dance Workshops By Kengmo
    chant and dance together under Kengmo’s guidance. An honor for Africanculture impressive performance. —cameroon Tribune.  
    http://www.kengmo.com/workshop.htm
    
    Extractions: Kengmo shows how to find our roots through traditional African dance forms that are based on life experience. Using a variety of authentic musical instruments from Central Africa, stories, as well as dance and positive messages, Kengmo builds lasting bridges between the wisdom and philosophies of his Elders. He brings out similarities and energizes the good within every participant throughout each event. Kengmo sees every teacher as a community leader because students in each classroom form a micro community with its own unique strengths, weaknesses and goals. Community leaders anywhere in the world can have issues and weaknesses that can hamper their ability to collaborate, understand, communicate or lead. A proverb of Kengmo’s elders says: “In life, there comes a time where even the most loving parent cannot take care of their own beloved children if they cannot take care of themselves”. Kengmo’s workshops offer a powerful venue where teachers can come to take care of themselves. A teacher deserves as much or even more attention than the students to maintain a positive vision and stay on the right track.
