Cameroon: University union maintains indefinite strike as of Jan. 8
Union representing university teachers strike indefinitely across Cameroon as of Jan. 8. Related protests possible.
A union representing university teachers (Syndicat national des enseignants du supérieurs, SYNES) maintains an indefinite nationwide strike across public universities as of Jan. 8. The union launched the work stoppage on Jan. 6 over unpaid allowances.
Related gatherings are possible near universities and government buildings, particularly in urban centers such as Yaounde. Should students support the strike, the scale of the demonstrations and associated risk of clashes with security forces will likely increase. Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely near any protests that materialize.
Avoid all protests and anticipate localized transport disruptions near possible demonstration sites. Leave the area immediately at the first sign of any security disturbance. Abide by all official directives.
