Opposition leaders in Cameroon contest official election results as protests continue

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"Opposition leaders in Cameroon Tuesday contested the official results of the Oct. 12 presidential election after the country's top court declared the world's oldest leader Paul Biya winner as protests continued across the country. Citizens began protesting in mid-October after opposition leader Issa Tchiroma Bakary claimed victory as the official results were still being tallied. Since then, security forces have clashed with angry protesters in many cities including Douala and Garoua opposition strongholds and in the capital, Yaounde."
