West Region (Cameroon)
The West Region () is 14,000 km2 of territory located in the central-western portion of the Republic of Cameroon. It borders the Northwest Region to the northwest, the Adamawa Region to the northeast, the Centre Region to the southeast, the Littoral Region to the southwest, and the Southwest Region to the west. The West Region is the smallest of Cameroon's ten regions in area, yet it has the highest population density. As home to the enterprising Bamum and Bamileke kingdoms, the West is an economic bright spot and one of Cameroon's more developed regions. This progressive development is tempered by the strong traditional culture that persists among the Bamileke and the province's other major ethnic group, the Bamum (sometimes ''Bamoum'', ''Bamun'', ''Bamoun''). Geography Land The West sits at the geologic crossroads of Cameroon; the soil varies greatly within a relatively small land area. The land along the Noun River and at the Bamendjing Reservoir, for example, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chomba Langue
Chomba is a village under the Bamenda municipality in Cameroon. The village is located six kilometers outside of Bamenda town. Before the 1960s, no motorable road linked the village to Bamenda town. The main road that links the village to the town was constructed manually by the villagers themselves. It was until the late 1970s/early 1980s that motor vehicles could reach the village. Today, the village is linked to the Bamenda town, by a half-paved/half-unpaved road. The village is noted for its hilly landscape and rocky terrain. Development in the village is actually slowed by the hilly and rocky terrain. Vehicles have never reached certain parts of the village due to this hilly nature. The hills are so steep that climbing is very difficult on some slopes. The population of the village is made of two groups of people: the indigents who are part of the Ngemba tribe, and the Fulani who are migrant settlers. The village survives mainly on subsistence agriculture. The main food crops ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
