Please keep Cameroon in your prayers right now. The taxi drivers (maybe about 70% of all cars here) are striking as gas prices have risen (over $5.00 a gallon right now). In Douala (about 3 hours away) they have been blocking roads, burning things, and fighting police. Praise God here in Yaounde they have only be striking by not working, which is still a huge inconvenience to everyone without a vehicle. They have been stopping gas trucks from coming into the city. We were advised to fill up our truck just incase. Jake went down this afternoon. The first station was already out of gas, the next had about 20 cars waiting. Praise God, Jake managed to get some after a long wait, he said that one pumped had been smashed and that there was police on guard there.
We are not in any danger but it has been a hard few days for most Cameroonians as it is extremely difficult to get to work or school as most rely on taxis. Please pray this is resolved peacefully and quickly, thanks! Will keep ya posted.
