YAOUNDE, CAMEROON - Cameroonian truck drivers have accused security escorts in the troubled Central African Republic (CAR) this week of abandoning the convoys when they were attacked by rebels. The drivers say hundreds of trucks are stuck in Cameroon until C.A.R. and the U.N.'s Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission, MINUSCA, have been providing security escorts for the convoys. Oumarou says all strategies put in place to protect trucks, truck drivers, and goods on C.A.R. Idrissou Manga, an official with the Cameroon Truck Drivers Union in Garoua Boulaye, said nine drivers received minor injuries.
