Life under curfew in Cameroon鈥檚 Douala

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

A curfew has been implemented in Cameroon鈥檚 economic capital, Douala, due to an increase in violent attacks by groups of young men known as 鈥楲es Microbes鈥�. Movement by bike riders and the use of restaurants and liquor bars has been banned between 8pm to 6am for an indefinite period. The carrying of knives and sharp objects has also been prohibited. We hear from citizens in Douala about how they are coping with the current situation. (Photo credit: Getty Images).
