Violence erupted at the beginning of the year as a result of both economic and political grievances, rocking a country usually described as the most peaceful in Central Africa. After a bout of harsh repression and a number of economic measures meant to improve the purchasing power of Cameroonians, the National Assembly eventually approved the controversial constitutional amendment removing the two-term limit on the presidency. This move occurred during a year also marked by tense relations with some neighbouring countries. Attacks on Cameroonian troops, especially in the Bakassi peninsula, which was eventually transferred from Nigerian control, repeatedly threatened the country's security.
