Cameroon – Douala-Yaoundé Road: 7 Hours for 230 km as Anger Grows

On Friday, October 2, travelers who left Yaoundé at 8 a.m. had still not reached Douala seven hours later, as traffic backed up for 25 km at the city’s entrance. Potholes and congestion are damaging vehicles, with broken driveshafts and ball joints and wheels coming loose. The deterioration of National Road No. 3 threatens a vital link for Cameroon’s economy and fuels anger over unkept promises, potentially turning against the ruling RDPC.
