Brief narrative

Over 1000 people in Douala are still homeless after their homes were destroyed in May to make way for the construction of a five star hotel. The victims, most of whom are indigenous people, have been holding peaceful protests ever since, denouncing what they say was an illegal, forceable eviction from their village.
