Cameroon - 6th Nov - vehicle ban in North-West regions
 
Just saw this, mass kidnapping of students from Bamenda in Cameroon, and BBC reporting:

"The authorities have declared a ban on vehicles driving between most districts of the North-West region."

Ban now lifted, kids free, but some staff remain kidnapped:

"A ban on people moving around, brought in after 78 children were kidnapped from a school, has been lifted in North West Cameroon.

Journalist Peter Tah, who is in the region, has tweeted:

As I mentioned in the other post, the whole area cannot be entered as before so the Ekok - Mamfe road doesn't exist, Cameroonian immigration are turning people back

There's a route a little further north in Nigeria that takes people through

Well I hope everybody stays safe and finds a good way through...
But also secretly hoping the Ekok road stays closed as I'll likely do the west coast again next year and the forced jungle bashing across the border was exhausting fun last time....
