Dozens of opposition leaders have taken to the streets yesterday in protest against acute shortage of potable water in the port city of Douala, Cameroon's economic hub.
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 on the social media.

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. Biya came in power in 1982.
