ABSTRACT Doulo, Extreme North, Cameroon has been inhabited for at least 2500 years and for much of the last 400 years has been the centre of the Wandala State. This thesis examines the archaeological evidence excavated by the Projet Mqu Wandala in order to unravel the prehistory of this community. In particular, the statistical method of cluster analysis is used on ceramics to map chronological and spatial trends at Doulo. By using this method, and other archaeological and ethnohistoric information, it is clear that the occupation of Doulo is represented by at least three periods. The earliest recognized period is the Early Iron Age, the second is the Late Iron Age, and the most recent is the Wandala Period. Similarly, statistical analysis differentiated between assemblages associated with recent ethnic Mura and ethnic Wandala populations, indicating that it is possible to identify socially distinct populations within the larger community. This thesis is the result of several years of research that has taken place in Cameroon, the USA and Caoada. It would not have been possible without the collaboration of many individuals at every stage of the archaeological process. Funding for the Projer Maya Wandala was provided by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (grant 4 10-92- 1860), my travel to Cameroon was made possible by a National Geographic Society Research Grant, and some of my own research was funded by a University of Calgary Thesis Research Grant (File Reference 99 17 18). Dr. Scott MacEachern must be thanked for giving me the opportunity to conduct research on this material, and for allowing me the privilege of travelling to Northern Cameroon in 1996. Dr. MacEachem also provided essential input into this thesis at all stages. He and his family, Dr. G. Lemoine and their daughter, Meredith MacEachern, graciously welcomed me into their home in Maine during the early phases of analysis. I must also acknowledge my supervisor, Dr. Nic David, for his encouragement, guidance, and prompt and thorough attention to early drafts of this document. He has also provided valuable references fiom his own library and has generally gone out of his way to prepare this graduate student for the rigours of academic life. Gratitude must also be expressed to my defence committee, Dr. Kathryn Reese-Taylor and Dr. Doug Peers who both read this thesis during very busy semesters. Many members of the faculty and staff at the University of Calgary were very generous in sharing their knowledge and experience with me during the preparation of this thesis. Dr. Nigel Waters, fiom the Department of Geography, provided helpful comments on statistical analysis, and Dr. Jon Jones of the Department of Geology and Geophysics generously assisted . in identifying some of the raw materials in Doulo's stone assemblage. I have gained a great deal of knowledge fiom the faculty, staff and students of the Department of Archaeology. Special mention must be made of Gerry Oetelaar, Brian Vivian, Peter Shinnie, Brian Kooyman, Charles Mather, Scott Raymond, Annie Katzenberg, Dan Meyer and Geny Newlands. Among my fellow students, Mitch Hendrickson and ~edferTischer must be given special acknowledgement for their support and advice. The members of the 1996 Projet Maya Wandala field crew also require special recognition for their contributions. Maureen Reeves, Claire Bourges and Monica Webster, in particular, have been great fiendsand great influences. Dr. Arlene Miller Rosen, Dana Wickner and Eric Pavri also made instrumental contributions to the wdy of Doulo7sarchaeology. The field crew from Doulo also supplied valuable information and a great deal of very hard work. TOSecretaire, Bishay, Galdima, Tchady, Abdu, Mala, Yaaba and Michel Kaurdapai, thank you and I wish I had had the chance to get to know you all better. Aissa Harde's field crew. Moise, Bode Abba, Magdeme, Aboni, Boukar, Abba Idris, Adama, and Mamadi Fikwa, contributed enormous amounts to my personal knowledge of the area. This thesis would not have been possible without you. In addition to these individuals Mohammed Sale and Larnbert Ganava deserve special thanks for their insights on so many things. To the same end, 1 must thank all the people of Doulo and Aissa Harde, including Kristi Hall, the Peace Corp volunteer at Aissa Harde who opened her home to me on more than one occasion. I would also like to express my gratitude to TheIbrahim of Mora and Chief Umate of Doulo for their co-operation, and to Abdoulaye Taousset for his assistance in Yaounde and Mora. Finally, my most personal and heartfelt thanks go to my mother, Patricia Jones, who provided all kinds of support and never doubted that I would finish, and to Russell Gragg for his helpful comments on later versions of this thesis and his support and encouragement in the early phases.

These regions of Cameroon have been restive since 2016 in what is popularly referred to as the Anglophone crisis. The crisis has been transformed to a separatist movement, with some Anglophones clamoring for an independent No-So, re-baptized as “Ambazonia”. The purpose of the study is to illuminate the geopolitical perspective of the conflict which has been evaded by many scholars. Most scholarly write-ups have rather focused on the causes, course, consequences and international interventions in the crisis, with little attention to the geopolitical undertones. In terms of methodology, the paper makes use of qualitative data analysis. Unlike previous research works that link the unfolding of the crisis to Anglophone marginalization, historical and cultural difference, the findings from this paper reveals that the strategic location of No-So, the presence of resources, demographic considerations and other geopolitical parameters are proving to be responsible for the heightening of the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon and in favour of the quest for an independent Ambazonia.

  • Cameroon Sub-Saharan Report
    Marubeni Research Institute 2016/11/14 Sub -Saharan Report Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the focal regions of Global Challenge 2015. These reports are by Mr. Kenshi Tsunemine, an expatriate employee working in Johannesburg with a view across the region. Vol. 26 - Cameroon November 11, 2016 Speaking of Cameroon, at the joint FIFA Japan-Korea World Cup in 2002, the delay in the arrival of the Cameroon team to their camp in the village of Nakatsue in Oita Prefecture was a real hot topic in Japan and Japanese people may also recall that at the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa the Japanese team met Cameroon in their first match (group) of the tournament. So, it is the country of Cameroon that I am introducing this time, which most Japanese people know the name of because of their soccer team (note 1). Table 1: Cameroon Country Information Cameroon is located in Central Africa bordered by Nigeria in the northwest, Chad in the northeast, the Central African Republic in the east, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Republic of the Congo in the south and opens to the Atlantic Ocean (Gulf of Guinea) in the west. The country is just a little north of the equator and encompasses most of Africa’s climates from a dry zone in the north to its rainforests in the south. Cameroon’s capital of Yaounde is located about 300 kilometers east and inland from the coast and is 700 meters above sea level with a comfortable climate that has an average annual temperature of around 24 degrees centigrade and low humidity.

SA27 1 INDIGENOUS SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION IN AFRICA Chris Reij Introduction Many parts of Africa are experiencing annual population growth rates between 2 and 4%, degradation of the natural resource base, recurrent droughts and a growing dependence on food aid as well as the import of cereals to cover food deficits. During the last two decades increasing financial outlays for agricultural research in Africa have neither produced significant breakthroughs nor led to agricultural growth (Lipton, 1988). Since the 1920’s, numerous reports have warned against the disastrous effects of increasing erosion, land degradation, desertification, mismanagement of natural resources due to increasing demographic pressure, and as a result soil conservation emerged at the end of the 1930’s as a central concern in East Africa (Anderson, 1984). In many African countries considerable efforts have been made during and since colonial times to conserve soil and water resources.

  • The Constitution and Governance in Cameroon
    The Constitution and Governance in Cameroon This book provides a systematic analysis of the major structural and institutional governance mechanisms in Cameroon, critically analysing the constitutional and legislative texts on Cameroon’s semi-presidential system, the electoral system, the legislature, the judiciary, the Constitutional Council and the National Commission on Human Rights and Freedoms. The author offers an assessment of the practical application of the laws regulating constitutional institutions and how they impact on governance. To lay the groundwork for the analysis, the book examines the historical, constitutional and political context of governance in Cameroon, from independence and reunification in 1960–1961, through the adoption of the 1996 Constitution, to more recent events including the current Anglophone crisis. Offering novel insights on new institutions such as the Senate and the Constitutional Council and their contribution to the democratic advancement of Cameroon, the book also provides the first critical assessment of the legislative provisions carving out a special autonomy status for the two Anglophone regions of Cameroon and considers how far these provisions go to resolve the Anglophone Problem. This book will be of interest to scholars of public law, legal history and African politics. Laura-Stella E. Enonchong is a Senior Lecturer at De Montfort University, UK.

    Soldiers of their Own: Honor, Violence, Resistance and Conscription in Colonial Cameroon during the First World War by George Ndakwena Njung A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Rudolph (Butch) Ware III, Chair Professor Joshua Cole Associate Professor Michelle R. Moyd, Indiana University Professor Martin Murray © George Ndakwena Njung 2016 Dedication My mom, Fientih Kuoh, who never went to school; My wife, Esther; My kids, Kelsy, Michelle and George Jr. ii Acknowledgments When in the fall of 2011 I started the doctoral program in history at Michigan, I had a personal commitment and determination to finish in five years. I wanted to accomplish in reality a dream that began since 1995 when I first set foot in a university classroom for my undergraduate studies. I have met and interacted with many people along this journey, and without the support and collaboration of these individuals, my dream would be in abeyance. Of course, I can write ten pages here and still not be able to acknowledge all those individuals who are an integral part of my success story. But, the disservice of trying to acknowledge everybody and end up omitting some names is greater than the one of electing to acknowledge only a few by name. Those whose names are omitted must forgive my short memory and parsimony with words and names. To begin with, Professors Emmanuel Konde, Nicodemus Awasom, Drs Canute Ngwa, Mbu Ettangondop (deceased), wrote me outstanding references for my Ph.D.
