Quick Summary

Reuben Um Nyobe was a Cameroonian political leader and the head of the first nationalist party in French Cameroun, the Cameroon People's Union (UPC). The UPC, co-led by Felix-Roland Moumie, advocated for a complete separation from France and the establishment of a socialist economy. French authorities suppressed the UPC, which led to a civil war. Cameroon was granted independence on January 1, 1960, with Ahmadou Ahidjo becoming the first president.1
