Cameroon: Section 3 - Analysis

摘要

Cameroon is located in West Africa, bordering the Bight of Biafra, between Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria. A country slightly larger than the state of California, Cameroon shares its land boundaries with six other African nations: Chad, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Nigeria. Cameroon was created out of two colonies: East Cameroon and West Cameroon north.rnThe dynamics of Cameroon's security environment are largely a function of its geography and history. The external threats it has faced and will face in the future are a result of the volatile and unstable mix of politics and military issues that characterize the energy-rich region of Western Africa. Meanwhile, its domestic situation is a direct result of the heterogeneous ethnic groups and tribes joined together by the formation of a single Cameroon.
