Скачать или смотреть Cameroon police clash with dock workers

(17 Oct 2016) Cameroon police fired tear gas and rubber rounds at sacked shipyard workers demonstrating in the country's economic hub Douala on Monday.
The shipyard workers from "Chantier Naval et Industrielle du Cameroun", along with workers from a sheeting manufacturer "PLACAM", blocked a roundabout leading to the city's busy port.
The demonstrators claimed they have been arbitrarily laid off, and have received no redundancy payments.
They accuse local authorities of being corrupt for doing nothing to help them.
Locals say hundreds of workers have been laid off at the two large employers in the city in recent months.
The workers say the shipyard has been struggling financially as falling oil revenues hit businesses in the region, the problems compounded by ageing equipment and inefficient methods.
