Biya regime detains 300 teachers
As many as 300 teachers have been detained in Cameroon for the last two days after protesting about their pay and conditions, our reporter in Yaoundé confirms.
They were arrested after demonstrating outside the prime minister’s office on Tuesday – with many complaining that they had not been paid their salaries for fourteen months.
BBC reporter Randy Jo Sa’ah says they were also protesting the lack of regard for their status as teachers, a grievance dating back 20 years.
The government had earlier said it would resolve their pay complaints.
