Cameroon Traders Say Equatorial Guinea Border Closure Ahead of Elections Hurts Business: WestAfrica

Voice of America Yaounde — Traders in the Cameroon town of Kiossi, on the border with Equatorial Guinea, say business is suffering after the land border was closed last week ahead of November 20 elections. Equatorial Guinea says it closed the border to prevent what it calls"infiltration of mercenaries who want to destabilize the elections.

Dozens of heavily armed Equatorial Guinea government troops can be seen on the central African state's side of the border. Essono said scores of businesspersons are stranded and cannot move to Cameroon from Ebebiyin, a town in Equatorial Guinea. Cameroon imports vegetable oil, wine, canned food and body lotions from Equatorial Guinea and exports building material, vegetables, tomatoes, rice and potato to Equatorial Guinea.
