How many people from Cameroon live in Europe?

According to the United Nations, 180,000 people from Cameroon live in Europe.

In total, 400,000 people from Cameroon live abroad, and about 45% of them live in Europe.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Cameroon in Europe

On Compatri, people from Cameroon already meet in Bruxelles and Paris.

Each community brings together members of the same city, so you meet neighbours rather than a crowd.

In total, 4 members take part.

Joining the Cameroon community in Europe

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

The Cameroon diaspora elsewhere in the world

Elsewhere, the Cameroon diaspora also lives in Nigeria, Gabon, and Canada. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
