Yaounde: Angry villagers block construction work on the Douala-Yaounde highway

Villagers in the Lobo Sub Division in the Lekie Division of the Centre Region have for about a week now, blocked construction works along the Yaounde-Douala motorway. The villagers are demanding payment for their crops and farm land destroyed in order for the motorway to be constructed.

The action started ever since August 2015. Cameroon government authorities announced late on Monday that they were seeking ways of resolving the problems of the over 200 families affected by the construction works.
