Land tenure problems in east Cameroon
African land tenure problems, just like those of the African family, are exceedingly complex and baffling. With its ethnic diversity, Cameroon is an inextricable tangle of different concepts of title to land. Yet, except in the overpopulated areas and some times in the towns, the tensions stemming from land tenure problems were practically unknown in Cameroon until about thirty years ago.

Instinctivement, et intelligemment, l'homme veille autant qu'il le peut à ses besoins et c'est dans la société d'autres hommes qu'il y parvient le mieux. Il donne tout naturellement la priorité à sa propre protection et à son propre accomplissement, mais dans le cadre d'un groupe humain où ses responsabilités à l'égard des autres donnent tout leur sens aux droits que chacun revendique pour soi même.
