Are they Cold hardier?

I don't think mango is native to Cameroon. It is probably just a seedling mango that escaped from cultivation.

not many infos about this mango

Cameroon has an equatorial climate so imagine it would not be cold hardier than other mangos.

maybe not cold hard but dry hard  considering the scorching temps and the long dry season, 5 months not a single drop of rain.
 Anyway this mango is quite popular in Germany and expensive too,

 Does anyone know  the seed is poly?

Not sure about 5 months but a dry season is obligatory for mango and India has long ones. The problem for a Mediterranean climate is more that you have a cold humid winter and a dry summer which is the inverse.

i would recomend asimina triloba as coldhardy alternative to mango.

If you prefer seeds instead of a tree and since it is alreadylate in the season, there won't be time to coldy stratify  the seeds. (they need 2-3 months + cold stratification) I would recomend a shortcut, i recomend placing lentil inn water for aday and giving that water to the pawpaw seeds. Combined with a warm cold place to sprout. The hormones out of the  lentil will induce sprouting
