There's a strike by Chinese shopkeepers in Cameroon, they are claiming harassment and discrimination.
Basically they think they are being forced to pay over the odds by customs and the tax regime and they are getting intimidated by police and other officials.
Do we care?

hmmm no I don't think so. There's a strike of minibus operators in Zimbabwe too, but it's against the government's forced price reductions, so fuck them as well.

There was something similar in Congo with minibus drivers a week or so.

I almost didn't do the Mali butchers strike but Jack told me it was cool, plus it was the first ever libcom story from Mali. Or at least the first one that was properly tagged smile
