CAMEROON Election: Rebels target ballot boxes with ‘travel ban’
As vote counting continues following Sunday’s presidential election in Cameroon, separatist rebels in the English-speaking areas of the country have tried to disrupt the transporting of ballot boxes by calling for a total ban on all travel.
In many parts of Cameroon’s English-speaking regions no voting took place at all due to the insurgency.
Meanwhile, Cameroon’s government has warned that individuals or groups who attempt to announce unofficial results of Sunday’s presidential vote will be subject to legal action.
“Official results of the presidential elections is the sole responsibility of the Constitutional Council. No one has the right to take the place of this jurisdictional authority,” Cameroon’s Minister of Territorial Administration Paul Atanga Nji told reporters.
