Tokombéré is a town and commune in Cameroon. The town has approximately 10,000 inhabitants and the commune approximately 80,000. Surrounded by rocky hills, 'Tokombéré' is a crossroads for multiple ethnic groups, including the Mada, Muyang, and Zulgo,ouldémés tribes. The town's religious makeup is nearly equal among Christians, Muslims, and animists. The town's development began in large part with the arrival of a priest from southern Cameroon, Baba Simon, in 1959. The Catholic mission remains an important and central location in 'Tokombéré', with its hospital, high school, elementary school, women's center, youth center, farmer's center, and more.
