DESCRIPTION:

Cameroon's National Day is celebrated annually on May 20th. This public holiday is also known as Unity Day, commemorating the unification of the English-speaking and French-speaking regions of the country. The day marks a significant milestone in Cameroon's history, as it highlights the coming together of these two distinct cultural groups under one national identity.

The historical background of this day dates back to 1961 when British-administered Southern Cameroons joined the French-speaking Republic of Cameroon through a plebiscite. This union resulted in the formation of the Federal Republic of Cameroon on October 1, 1961. Later, on May 20, 1972, a referendum was held, which led to the adoption of a new constitution and the creation of a unitary state called the United Republic of Cameroon. This day was then chosen as the National Day.

Cameroon's National Day is marked by various activities and events throughout the country. Celebrations include military and civilian parades, cultural performances, and speeches by political leaders. The day serves as an opportunity for Cameroonians to express their national pride and unity while honoring their diverse cultural heritage.
