the tragic incidents that occurred over the weekend: two train
accidents in two major entrances of the town and a fire disaster at the

arrival of the train from the northern part of the country, precisely
Ngaoundéré. People were seen carrying their luggage on their heads,
others with children, coming out of the train and looking tired.
