The urban municipality of Yaounde in Cameroon has started demolishing the oldest and most populous district of Briqueterie, where it intends to have modern buildings in the future.
The district is located near the almost-ready All-Sport Stadium that being built by the Chinese.
The Briqueterie neighbourhood is mostly inhabited by Muslims and is famous for its restaurants serving traditional meals, and western Africa and Arab specialities.
Also, the neighbourhood harboured Senegalese and Malian communities with their jewellery workshops and businesses. The district is also among the most dangerous of the city because of the multiple nightly attacks.
The Yaounde municipality says the part of the space will be transformed into car park for the All Sport stadium. Also hotels and other luxurious buildings
