Cameroonians in France

The first Cameroonian immigrants in France came in the 1970s, like the Congolese, some years after the first immigrant wave from Sub-Saharan Africa (Senegal Valley) to France.^[1] This immigration has sped up in the 1980s (due to the social and economic crisis in Cameroon)^[2]
