(Business in Cameroon) - In ways to encourage taxi owners and drivers of Buea, a southwest municipality, to boycott the “ghost towns" operation every Monday, initiated by Anglophone separatists, the city's mayor is offering them 10 liters of fuel.

According to our sources, though they did not ignore Mr. Ekema's proposal, the drivers are still reluctant, preferring to use the mayor's fuel supply for the other days than Mondays. They fear reprisals from separatist militants, who often do not hesitate to attack people and other companies that do not respect the move every Monday.
