Adamawa

The Adamawa region spans 64,000 square kilometers at an elevation of 917 meters, forming a geographical transition between southern and northern Cameroon.

The territory experienced significant changes when the Fulbe people arrived in the 13th century, leading to demographic shifts and new social structures.

The region contains five administrative divisions where the Fulbe constitute sixty percent of the population, alongside Tikar and Gbaya ethnic communities.

The capital city Ngaoundéré connects to other parts of Cameroon through a network of railways and roads, facilitating transportation and trade.

Cattle farming dominates the local economy, with the Fulbe people maintaining large herds across the extensive grasslands of the region.
