Violent protests flare in Cameroon as results due in contested election

Violent protests erupt in Cameroon ahead of contested election results, with clashes between supporters of opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary and security forces in various cities like Garoua. Tchiroma Bakary alleges a plan by the ruling party, the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM), to manipulate the election results, challenging President Paul Biya's longstanding rule. Despite calls for peaceful protests, authorities have banned gatherings until the results are announced by Cameroon's constitutional council. Protesters demand transparency in the electoral process as tensions rise in the country.
