Cameroon: Cameroon’s President announced on Saturday that more than 70 persons had been killed and another 600 injured when a passenger train crashed on Friday. The packed Camrail train had been travelling from the capital Yaounde to the port city of Douala. It was derailed at around 11 am local time near the station in the town of Eseka, 120 km west of the capital, causing carriages to overturn. "My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families of the Camrail train derailment in Eseka,” President Paul Biya, who is travelling abroad, wrote on his Facebook page. Reuters
