not according to afrinic:
katala:~ nishal$ grep 'CM|ipv6' delegated-afrinic-latest
afrinic|CM|ipv6|2001:4268::|32|20060613|allocated
afrinic|CM|ipv6|2c0f:f660::|32|20131127|allocated

….but that does mean that there are six other organisations - likely 
all LIRs - in cameroon with IPv6.
perhaps, as an exercise, you can look them up, and try to get IPv6 to 
each of them.

“org-name:  Institut de la Gouvernance Numerique Universitaire”
is this a university?  that’s probably a good place to start.  
disappointing to not see more universities on that list, so maybe you 
can think about how to get more of them using v6?

as a second step, perhaps you have friends at other organisations in 
cameroon (i can see no end-user - or more correctly to me, end-site 
assignments).  that may not be ISPs, that could also go through the 
effort of requesting address space from afrinic, and getting this 
routed.  so instead of trying to force the CAMTELs/MTNs of the world, 
who have interests other than IPv6 it seems, you can get the “small 
guys” communicating instead?

it’s good to see cmnog taking off.
i admit i stopped listening in here when nothing happened for a long 
time.

good luck moving forward.
