Bafut, Cameroon

Bafut, Cameroon connects to 336 other places across 4 topics through 6 Bunkabop connections, drawing on its royal history, colonial-era upheaval, and environmental work. Long the seat of the Tikar kingdom whose origins trace to the Lake Chad region, Bafut endured punitive raids in 1901, 1904–05, and 1907, with its Fon exiled to Douala. It joined French Cameroun in 1961 as part of British Southern Cameroons, and since 2017 has been a key battleground in the Anglophone Crisis. A permaculture ecovillage initiative now links it to global Sustainable Development Goals networks.
