But protesters in Douala and Yaoundé were outnumbered by police. Since the food price riots in 2008, 23 February has been the day in the year discontent Cameroonians take to the streets; mostly being quickly dispersed by the police.

This year was to be different, according to the hopes and aspirations of the organisers of the protests. This year, they had announced during the last few weeks, 23 February would be the start of Cameroon's Egypt-like revolt.

Reports from Cameroon today - both by the protesters and the media - however indicate that the anticipated anti-government riot rather has been a bleak repetition of the minor 23 February protests during the last years.

@ Aguiyi, i just dont want to be sarcastic , i knew naija are hundred percent dogmatic sumtimes , but i definitely think we need a change here in Naija do u agree with me?

i agree with you on that but dont take to the street because some countries are doing so cos i have come to realise that our sense of reasoning and judgement is different from that of these people taking to the street.
OUR POLICE,ARMY,CIVIL DEFENCE,LEADERS,POLITICIANS AND PEOPLE DONT REASON OR ACT LIKE THIERS
