Abstract:
Nowadays, the Mbam zone is the whole made up of two departments (Mbam and Inoubou and Mbam and Kim), located in the Central region of Cameroon. Since the colonial period, this area has been constituted of Cameroon in miniature. Au given its geographical location, it has a relief and hydrography that can be found across the extent of the territory. This area has the two climates (equatorial climates and tropical climate) and vegetation (dense forest and savannah) of Cameroon. These are the peuls or Foulbés and especially the Bantu who are the people of the Mbamois territories and they come from ancient Egypt. Politically, the area of Mbam is marked by the traditional system (centralized and decentralized) and the modern political organization (civil administrator). The latter is imposed everywhere else in Cameroon by colonization. In addition, the Mbamois carry out several economic activities : agriculture (food crops and cash crops), livestock, breeding, fishing, hunting and trade. This being said,we can affirm that the zone of Mbam is made up of Cameroon in miniature.
