Labels:text | font | screenshot | black and white OCR: Cameroon is ethnically diverse - there are 230 groups although no single group is dominant. The largest is the Bamileke of the center southwest, but this group has never held political power. When President Ahidjo, a northern Fulani, retired, he was replaced by Paul Biya of the southeastern Bulu-Beti group. The north-south hostility which affects many other West African states is also present in Cameroon, albeit diminished by the great diversity of peoples. There is tension between competing groups of the south. There are sizeable groups of French-speaking and English-speaking peoples.
