Fon of Bafut : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fon of Bafut
The Fon of Bafut is the fon or Mfor (traditional ruler) of the town of Bafut and its adjoining areas in the Northwest Province, Cameroon which comprise the erstwhile Fondom of Bafut. Presently, the Fon of Bafut is still a local ruler, but under jurisdiction from the Government of Cameroon, and a board of Fons. Bafut is one of the largest villages in the North West Province. Once autocratic, increasing tension, military conflict and finally defeat at the hands of the Germans in the Bafut Wars (1901–1907) turned the Fondom of Bafut into a part of the German protectorate of Cameroon (''Kamerun Schutzgebiet'') during the reign of Abumbi I. After World War I, the Fon of Bafut and his people became part of the British protectorate of the Cameroons or ''British Cameroon''. The Fon of Bafut was, and to some extent still is, the "supreme fon" of the region, who presides over neighbouring fons. ==International image== The Fon of Bafut is perhaps best remembered due to Gerald Durrell's humorous portrayal of the Fon Achirimbi II in his books describing animal-collecting missions to Bafut in the 1940s and 1950s – ''Bafut Beagles'' and ''A Zoo in My Luggage''.
