Key Facts
Extrême-Nord is a region of Cameroon, representing the northernmost administrative division of the country. Located in the far northern part of Cameroon, it borders Nigeria to the west, Chad to the east, and the Central African Republic to the southeast, while its southern boundary connects with Cameroon's North Region. With an area of approximately 34,263 square kilometers, Extrême-Nord is one of Cameroon's largest regions by land area and supports a population of over 3.9 million people, making it one of the most densely populated regions in the northern part of the country. The region is administratively divided into 6 departments: Diamaré, Logone-et-Chari, Mayo-Danay, Mayo-Kani, Mayo-Sava, and Mayo-Tsanaga, each containing multiple communes and arrondissements. The landscape is characterized by the semi-arid Sahelian climate, with the Mandara Mountains in the northwest and the vast plains of the Logone River basin dominating much of the territory. Major economic activities include agriculture, livestock rearing, and cross-border trade, with Maroua serving as the regional capital and largest urban center.
