Abstract: The article investigates the contemporary French policy in Africa (by the example of Cameroon). The method of historical reconstruction allowed the author to clarify the features of the formation of the Republic of Cameroon during the disintegration of the French colonial empire and decolonisation of the African continent. The events preceding the proclamation of sovereignty of Cameroon and the reasons for the lameness and such limited sovereignty have been considered. The emphasis in the article is made on clarifying the role of France in kindling of the civil war in Cameroon, as well as in the suppression of the movement for independence and real sovereignty of the African state. The methodological basis of the article is comprised by system, structural-functional, comparative historical and comparative political approaches, methods of analysis, synthesis, monitoring, reconstruction. The facts of the blatant cruelty in the activities of the French intelligence services and army troops have been analysed, which crushed the resistance of the patriots from the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon and organized brutal killings of leaders of the national liberation movement - Ruben Um Nyobe, Felix-Roland Moumie, and others. The question regarding the political expediency of establishing the Federal Republic of Cameroon in 1961 and the reasons of Cameroon's unification in 1971 has been specifically considered. The conclusion was drawn that the civil war in Cameroon in the period of 1955-1970 was inspired by France and was inceptive of the neo-colonialist policy that was later known as the "Françafrique" policy.
