Both Mozambique and Rwanda are members of the Commonwealth of Nations that were never part of the British Empire nor did they have any other constitutional connection to the UK or its possessions. In addition, Cameroon is a member of the Commonwealth.
A small part of the country was a British Trust Territory called Southern Cameroon, but the vast majority was a French Trust Territory with no legal connection to the UK.
