Yaoundé, Cameroon’s capital, has seen a heavy security presence

Yaoundé, Cameroon’s capital, has seen a heavy security presence following the announcement of President Paul Biya’s re-election. Demonstrations erupted yesterday as many Cameroonians rejected the official results.

 

Opposition leader Issa Tchiroma continues to assert that he is the rightful winner of the polls, intensifying tensions across the city.

 

Journalist Moki Kindzeka reports that security forces have been deployed to key locations in the capital to prevent further unrest, but protesters remain determined to voice their dissent. The situation remains fluid, with observers warning of potential escalation in the coming days.
