    Fun fact: the Waka Waka song "from" Shakira is actually an Cameroonian Song, sang by the Cameroon an military 😉. Sooooo... Shakira kinda stole the lyrics and most Cameroonian people (like my mom) kinda get triggered when they hear that song 😂😂

      Desert Shakira cannot steal that music or anything pertaining to that song by zangalewa! In fact, she got rights to use it, putting Cameroon 🇨🇲 again on the map and giving credits to that military musical group Zangalewa. Also, giving us that love and connection to soccer on so many levels without mentioning Roger Milla (one of the greatest soccer player of all times), or as Americans would say “Roger Miller”!

    I am Cameroonian and I am impressed you know so much things about Cameroon given that you might certainly have never been then.
    Well, because of our diverse population, English speaking Cameroon are generally close to Nigerians, French Speaking Cameroonians are close to other french speaking countries around (Gabon, Republic of Congo, Central Africa Republic) and even further (Cote d'Ivoire).
    Littoral isn't original either! It is a french word that means "on the seaside".

So corrupt upt that if the president wants to do something wrong the senate alone can stop that. So corrupt that you can impeach the president, so corrupt that transparency International rank the west in the top 10 and the US in the top 20. So corrupt that you have freedom of speech, freedom of religion and the freedom to compete against the president for the next elections, so corrupt that the president has to have a team and a Vice President to make decisions with him, so corrupt that the president can’t pas laws in the country if the majority of representatives and senators vote with him, so corrupt that the president can’t declare War only the senate can. Wow this country is so corrupt that there are so much people from different races and religions and regions in power. Too corrupt.

And by the way, the capital of the exiled resistance government of France (when under Nazi German occupation) was Brazzaville in the current Republic of Congo.

    As a fellow Cameroonian, i have to say i really did enjoy this episode, the information wasn't watered-down as most schools/organization would tend to do so. i didn't want the video to end, there was so much more i wish we had time to cover but all in all great video. i must also point out that although in the general sense everyone gets along with everyone (within the nation), there have been very strong evidences of tribalism where one tribe believes themselves to be superior to the other. there was bad blood between the two former president (allegedly) being that Ahidjo was from the north and Biya is from the east and there was the whole coup d'état thing that happened. following this event are the allegations that people from the east attempted an ethnic-cleansing on the people belonging to the north.
    Anyway thanks for sharing info on our country, hopefully some interesting questions and convos relating to the country will be brought up in these comment sections lol keep up the good work.
    P.S for those asking, the city that was mispronounced is pronounced Dou-wah-lah (Douala), la capitale économique du Cameroun.

    Cameroon, officially the Republic of Cameroon, is a country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Nigeria to the west and north; Chad to the northeast; the Central African Republic to the east; and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Republic of the Congo to the south. Cameroon's coastline lies on the Bight of Biafra, part of the Gulf of Guinea and the Atlantic Ocean. Although Cameroon is not an ECOWAS member state, it is geographically and historically in West Africa with the Southern Cameroons which now form her Nord-Ouest and Sud-Ouest Regions having a strong West African history. However, since 2017, elements within the Sud-Ouest and Nord-Ouest regions have since declared an independent (yet internationally unrecognized) state called Ambazonia. The country is sometimes identified as West African and other times as Central African due to its strategic position at the crossroads between West and Central Africa. Cameroon is home to over 250 native languages spoken by nearly 20 million people.

      Wasn't expecting to get a response from you, haha. You're the first UA-camr to ever reply to a comment of mine, so thanks for being awesome.
      No I agree, seperate colours, but to me it seems easier/less cumbersome to remember and maroon is more associated with reddish type things than green. So for the sake of distinguishing between the two flags, I would just presume this to be easier/more fun. But it's your video and your method, don't want to steal your thunder.

    That was an excellent video. I would like to hear your comments on the recent disturbances in Cameroon and whether they might really result in civil war.
