Anti-government rioting spreads in Cameroon YAOUNDE, Cameroon — Anti-government riots paralyzed the Cameroon capital and main port on Wednesday as popular anger exploded over high fuel and food prices and a bid by President Paul Biya to extend his 25-year rule. Local journalists said one protester was killed by armed police on Wednesday in the southwest town of Buea. The unrest - the worst in over 15 years in this central African oil producing nation - has killed at least seven people since it broke out at the weekend in the port of Douala, a major African shipping hub. There were unconfirmed reports of several more deaths on Wednesday but no reliable total was immediately available. Local journalists said Cameroonian authorities were instructing state media and hospital staff not to publicize deaths. The rioting spread on Wednesday to the capital Yaounde after sweeping through western towns in the last four days. Riot police fired tear gas at protesters in both cities,
