(Business in Cameroon) - Local sources revealed that the conflicts which usually oppose local and Chinese miners at mining sites in East Cameroon degenerated recently.

The sources indicated that last week, there was an argument between a Chinese miner and his Cameroonian peer in Bétaré Oya, an area where intense mining activities are conducted. During the argument, the Cameroonian was killed; locals, in retaliation, burned the Chinese alive.

Our sources revealed that the citizens in the area were against the Chinese exploiting “their” mining site.
