Opposition leader Maurice Kamto has urged the Littoral regional authorities to maintain calm amid reports that he has effectively been placed under house arrest in Douala, hindering his ability to meet with supporters.  Maurice kamto  These developments suggest that the ruling Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM) government, led by President Paul Biya, is showing signs of unease as it closely monitors the increasing public support for the opposition.
