Hundreds Of Cameroonian Soldiers Protest Unpaid CAR Peacekeeping Allowances

More than 900 soldiers took to the streets in Cameroon's capital Yaounde, to claim payment for their peacekeeping mission in Central African Republic (CAR). Some of the soldiers who were in service in CAR attended the demonstration.
They were first part of the African Union (AU) peacekeeping troops, then part of the UN peacekeeping force. The soldiers occupied the main road connecting the Defence Ministry to the National Assembly, where they asked to talk to Speaker, jibril Cavaye Yeguie. They said the money had been given by the AU and UN to the Cameroonian government, but was not paid to them.
