About :
Ahmadou Ahidjo, born August 24, 1924 in Garoua (Cameroon) and died November 30, 1989 in Dakar (Senegal), is a key figure in the political history of Cameroon, being the country's first president. Ahidjo was born into a Fulani Muslim family. He attended local schools before continuing his studies at the Yaoundé Higher School. He began his career as a broadcasting technician before becoming involved in politics. In 1947, he was elected to the Territorial Assembly, representing Cameroon in the French Union. Ahidjo became Vice-President of the Legislative Assembly of Cameroon in 1953 and Minister of the Interior in 1957. In 1958, he was appointed Prime Minister of French Cameroon. After Cameroon gained independence on January 1, 1960, Ahidjo became the country's first president. He played a central role in the unification of French and British Cameroon in 1961. His regime was marked by a centralization of power and the establishment of a single party, the Cameroon National Union (UNC), in 1966. Ahidjo is known for his authoritarianism, but also for his efforts to promote economic development and modernization in Cameroon. He implemented several five-year plans to stimulate the economy and improve infrastructure. In 1982, Ahidjo surprisingly resigned from the presidency due to health reasons and named Paul Biya as his successor. However, tensions quickly arose between the two men, leading to an attempted coup in 1984, attributed to Ahidjo's supporters. After the failed coup, Ahidjo went into exile in Senegal where he would spend the rest of his life. He was sentenced to death in absentia by the Cameroonian government in 1984, a sentence later commuted to life in prison. He died in Dakar in 1989 and is buried there. Ahmadou Ahidjo remains a controversial figure, celebrated for his contributions to Cameroon's development but criticized for his authoritarianism and iron rule.
