Cameroon's Second Largest Employer Crippled by Separatist Conflict

Moki Edwin Kindzeka

   LIMBE, CAMEROON - Cameroon's second largest employer, the Cameroon
   Development Corporation, says it has been paralyzed by the separatist
   conflict in the country's English-speaking regions. The agricultural
   giant has not been able to pay its staff for a year because of falling
   production and revenue.

   The village of Meanja used to be a banana production center in
   Cameroon's English-speaking southwest.
   Two years ago, 2,000 people lived here, and many worked for the
   Cameroon Development Corporation's banana production unit.
