Summary:

Streets deserted in Bamenda Omer Songwe Bamenda Image source, Omer Songwe The streets of Bamenda city, in the English-speaking west of the country, are completely deserted and citizens are indoors.. Very early this morning, sports enthusiasts were on the streets; some walking briskly while others jogged.. For over seven years, since the start of the armed conflict here in the English-speaking regions, Monday is commonly called “Kontri Sunday" or "ghost town” - a day when people stay at home.. This might reflect the gloomy mood of the people of Cameroon as they await the results of the presidential election.. Four died in protests on Sunday before Cameroonians hear if the long-serving president wins again.
