Breaking

Equatorial Guinea has expelled 53 Cameroonian citizens from its territory.
The deported  arrived in Cameroon Sunday, May 8 without their belongings
according to  Cameroon Tribune.
The Cameroonian citizens all said, Equatorial Guinea officials didn't allow them to take along their properties.

They were received by the Cameroonian authorities at the entry boarder to Cameroon in the south of the country. This expulsion comes as the free movement of people and goods is in debate within the Economic and Monetary Community of Central African States (CEMAC).

The border town of Campo in southwestern Cameroon has seen hundreds of Cameroonians returning from Equatorial Guinea in recent years after they were forcefully expelled.

In 2013, CEMAC heads of state agreed to cancel visa requirements and to begin issuing CEMAC bio-metric passports  in order to promote better regional economic integration between Cameroon, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, the Central African Republic, Gabon and Congo Brazzaville.However, the country seems to give a deaf ear to the agreement.

The situation is sparking anger in Cameroon - where many locals are pressing for the government to retaliate by expelling many of the 10,000 Equatorial Guineans who work and study in Cameroon.
