At least 11 people perished on Sunday in a landslide during a meeting in tribute to the deceased in a popular district of Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, the governor of the region announced on public radio CRTV.

Four bodies covered in white sheets were evacuated in the early evening by the police in the working-class district of Damascus, on the eastern outskirts of Yaoundé, reports an AFP journalist who finds himself among hundreds of panicked residents looking for loved ones, and rescuers trying to make their way to the scene of the tragedy.
