Cameroonian riot police march along a street in the port city of Douala, February, 27, 2008. Anti-government riots spread to Cameroon's capital Yaounde on Wednesday and police in the port of Douala also fired tear gas at protesters angry over high fuel and food prices. The riots were the worst in Cameroon for more than 15 years. After four days of unrest that killed at least six people in western towns, including Douala, rioters blocked streets in Yaounde with barricades of burning tyres and timber, witnesses said.
