Baloum, Agricultural settlement in Menoua Division, Western Cameroon

The Baloum settlement spreads across mountainous terrain with an elevation reaching 1,900 meters, featuring four main villages: Bani, Millah, Zemya, and Felah.

The name Baloum originates from the constant presence of clouds over this Bamileke chiefdom, which developed on the high plateaus of Western Cameroon.

The traditional governance structure includes two distinct councils: the Council of Nine for political matters and the Council of Seven for religious affairs.

Local schools receive support through scholarship programs funded by the Ndoutset diaspora community to enhance educational opportunities for students.

The territory experiences a specific climate pattern with dry seasons from December to March and rain periods from March to November.
