Bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Cameroon shares borders with the Central African Republic (CAR), Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, and Chad. The regions bordering Nigeria (Northwest and Southwest) are English-speaking, while the rest of the country is French-speaking. Cameroon, rich in natural resources (oil and gas, minerals, and precious woods) and agricultural resources (coffee, cotton, cocoa, maize, and cassava), is a lower-middle-income country. Cameroon's economy is the largest and most diversified in the region, accounting for 451,000 tons of CEMAC's GDP in 2021.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
