Protesters paralyse Cameroon city, four killed

At least four people were killed in Cameroon’s economic capital, Douala, on Monday when protesters angry over the high cost of living barricaded streets in the port city, looted shops and clashed with riot police. The violence in the teeming city erupted after taxi drivers launched a strike to protest against petrol- and fuel-price hikes.
