Cameroon, often called "Africa in miniature", showcases an extraordinary diversity of landscapes, cultures, and languages. From the coastal plains through the mountains to the rainforests and savannahs, Cameroon's geography is as varied as its people. Yaoundé is the political capital, while Douala is the economic powerhouse. Cameroon is known for its football culture, having produced stars like Samuel Eto'o, and it has significant reserves of oil and natural gas. Political stability has been a challenge, but Cameroon continues to navigate its complex ethnic and linguistic mosaic.
