Dozens of opposition leaders have taken to the streets this Tuesday in protest against acute shortage of portable water in the political capital of Cameroon, Yaounde. Hundreds of protesters lead by female politician Kah Walla, held up empty bowls and banners.
"We cannot live by the banks of the sea and yet wash our faces with spittle," an angry politician Patricia Ndam Njoya tweeted.
For several decades, water has been in shortage across the country. Water bills flow more than water. Beer runs in excess all times, meanwhile portable water supply is erratic.
"We do not need an anticipate 2017 elections. The constitution must not be changed," opposition leaders chanted while holding up their bowls.
President Paul Bartholomew Biya Bi Mvondo , 83, seeks to alter the constitution that would favor a poll in 2017 and not 2018, observers say. In 2008, he erased constitutional terms limits, declaring himself president for life. The fact that he came to power in 1982 must be noted.
