Moki Edwin Kindzeka

   YAOUNDE - Hundreds of supporters of Cameroon opposition leader Maurice
   Kamto have gathered at his home after his months-long de facto house
   arrest suddenly ended. Heavily armed police stationed at his home since
   September 22 left on Tuesday, but authorities are giving no
   explanation.

   Maurice Kamto's supporters flocked to his home after heavily armed
   police left the opposition leaders house Tuesday night, ending a
   months-long, de facto house arrest.

   Cameroon authorities gave no immediate explanation for why police left
   or if Kamto would face any charges from the September protest that
   prompted the detention.
