Some Rwandans have told reporters that the deceased was among people who were being targeted because of their opposition to the current government in their home country.

Scheming landowners sell parcels of land simultaneously to multiple buyers who don't check if the sale is legitimate. Instead, they can count on the connivance of many real estate agents. Can authorities in Cameroon step up and defend the rights of the poor and marginalized in their quest for land? Let's debate!
