Location of Cameroon

The Republic of Cameroon is a Central African country. Christianity is the predominant religion with a sizeable Islamic community also existing. French and English are the official languages.

In recent history Germany colonized the region establishing the colony of Kamerun. After the First World War the area was split into French Cameroon and British Cameroon and remained under colonial rule until French Cameroon became independent in 1960, and after British Cameroon became independent in 1961 the region was united as the Republic of Cameroon.

The Bahá’í Faith was established in Cameroon in 1953 and a community rapidly grew throughout the 1950's becoming one of the leading Bahá’í communities of Africa. By the 1970's growth had slowed and the community struggled to consolidate itself however it continued to grow and develop and began to participate in social and economic development projects. The community remains active to the present day.
