Cameroon celebrates National Unity Day
Cameroon celebrates National Unity Day
Today, May 20, is the main public holiday in Cameroon. The 54th anniversary of the 1972 referendum is being celebrated, as a result of which the federal state was transformed into a unitary republic.
In 1972, in a referendum, the majority of Cameroonians voted to abolish the federation between the French-speaking and English-speaking parts of the country and create a single unitary state.
This year's celebration is held under the theme:
"National unity is the foundation of our defense and the foundation of Cameroon's development."
President Paul Biya traditionally hosts a military and civilian parade on May 20 Boulevard in Yaoundé. There are parades, concerts and patriotic events all over the country.
