Statues of Charles Atangana

Every resident of Cameroon takes pride in the statues of Charles Atangana. Charles Atangana, also known by his German name Karl and his native name Ntsama, was the paramount chief of the Bane and Ewondo ethnic groups in Cameroon for much of the colonial period.

Despite his modest beginnings, Atangana's allegiance and friendship with colonial priests and bureaucrats in the colonial government won him increasingly more significant positions. This statue has become one of Cameroon's most well-known landmarks.
