A picture taken on February 25, 2008 in the Akwa district of Douala, after residents had begun raiding shops owned by Chinese traders. Two people were shot dead and at least one was seriously injured in Cameroon's economic capital Douala today when a road transporters' strike led to clashes with police, witnesses said. One witness said that two men were shot in the Bessengue district of the port city, and a Cameroonian journalist confirmed to AFP that the bodies were taken to the mortuary of Douala's Laquentinie Hospital. The strikers were protesting at a rise in fuel prices and those of several basic products, but Douala is also a stronghold of the opposition to President Paul Biya, who has been in power since 1982.
