Cameroon faces potential political tension after the death of 74-year-old opposition leader Anicet Ekane while in detention. Ekane, a former MANIDEM party leader arrested after post-election protests, was charged with incitement and hostility against the state, accusations he denied. His party claims he was denied access to vital medication, while the government has launched an investigation. Deadly clashes following President Paul Biya’s re-election left dozens killed and hundreds arrested, with opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary fleeing to Gambia. As some of Cameroon’s youth demand change, Ekane’s death could become another flashpoint in the country’s deepening political crisis.
