Russian Shadow Fleet: Cameroon Rejects Any Responsibility in the 'Tagor' Case

Cameroon's Transport Minister Jean Ernest Masséna Ngalle Bibehe rejected any involvement of Yaoundé in the 'Tagor' tanker case, which was seized by the French navy on May 31, 2026, off the coast of Brittany. The ship flew the Cameroonian flag without authorization and is not listed in any official registry. Cameroon demands international measures against these fraudulent practices. The 'Tagor', the fourth such tanker intercepted since September 2025, exemplifies how the Russian shadow fleet evades Western sanctions.
