Cameroon - Menchum Valley: Trucks Blocked, Trade Paralyzed

For over two weeks, trucks have been stranded in Benakuma, the capital of Menchum Valley in the North-West region of Cameroon, due to impassable roads. Local and surrounding merchants are suffering significant losses as goods pile up, disrupting market supplies and the local economy. Benakuma, near the Nigerian border, is a vital commercial hub for several villages, but the current road conditions have cut this area off from the rest of the country.
