Reunification Monument, Monument in central Yaoundé, Cameroon.

The Reunification Monument features a central obelisk surrounded by four sculptures depicting farmers, fishermen, and other professional groups of Cameroon.

Following World War I, Cameroon split into French and British territories until 1972, when this monument marked the unification of both regions.

The monument incorporates design elements from different Cameroonian regions, reflecting the architectural vision of local creators Gédéon Mpando and Engelbert Mveng.

Located at coordinates 3.85239° N and 11.5136° E, the monument includes a basement space that now functions as an event venue.

The structure stands as the primary national symbol of Cameroon's post-colonial merger, representing both French and English-speaking territories.
