Cameroon: Opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary calls for release of protesters

In Cameroon, the aftermath of the recent presidential election has led to significant unrest, with reports indicating approximately 40 deaths and thousands of arrests. Opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary has labeled President Paul Biya's victory as fraudulent and is demanding the release of all detained protesters within 48 hours. The ruling party, however, defends the arrests as necessary for maintaining public order. The situation remains tense as the nation grapples with the implications of Biya's eighth term in office.
