Cameroonian athletes who have finished competing in their events at the commonwealth games have returned home.
The early departure of 14 Cameroonian competitors follows the disappearance of 8 athletes from the team’s accommodation during the games so far, and has been facilitated by Cameroonian authorities to prevent further athlete escapes.
It is likely the absent athletes intend to seek asylum to escape civil strife in Cameroon once the games conclude and the Cameroonian contingent leaves Australia.
