Evidence snapshot for Yaoundé
Yaoundé hosts the first command centre of Cameroon's 'Intelligent Cities' facial-recognition network, which opened in 2019 as part of a Huawei-built surveillance system operated by the national police. Phase one of the network installed more than 3,000 CCTV cameras and 95 base stations across the country, with the capital serving as the initial deployment site. However, the evidence provides no quantified data on outcomes, learning results, or impacts specific to Yaoundé, and notes that no personal-data-protection law governs the system's operation.
