KribiSoldiers bar fishers from waters beside oil platforms.

Perenco and the state hydrocarbons company operate the Ebome terminal 6.5 kilometres off Kribi, where residents report tar balls and dolphin strandings.

A special army unit guards the platforms and prohibits passage, fisher Dede Sluk said.
