Popis: Since the beginning of the democratization in the 90s, sub-Saharan African countries are still going through deep restructurations of the political participation practices and develop a sort of demonstrator culture. In Cameroon, the Adamawa region has not remained on the side lines. Indeed, it has seen the appearance and the development of new forms of political participation, materialized by the use of memoranda in political habits. These memoranda are mostly made by Mboum, a Kirdi marginal ethnic group who has been deeply subjected by Fulani way back in the early 19th century. Throughout some facts, it appears that the memoranda do not reflect the identity considerations as conveyed by popular imagery. Rather, they are the expression of a significant change in the justiciable political modes of a socio-anthropological analysis. However, an accentuation of memoranda in a multiethnic society like Cameroon requires a legal framework in order to secure the ongoing construction project of the national integration, especially as the sociology of its actors and its contents reveals their influential dimension.
