    The Wider Image: Motorcycle taxi drivers of Cameroon’s Douala long

    Trophies and medals won by Carine Alphonsine Kegne, 39, a single mother of two and motorcycle taxi rider who abandoned her dream of becoming a professional football referee, are displayed alongside a photograph of her daughter at her home in Douala, Cameroon, October 5, 2025. One day, a friend lent Kegne his motorcycle, and someone mistook her for a "benskin" driver, realizing then she had found a new way to survive. Now she rides daily to earn a living, and wonders how her children will support themselves if conditions don't improve. "I just want to save enough to leave Cameroon and find a fresh start," she said. REUTERS/Zohra Bensemra

    ABOUT QUEWS

    We are a news service born out of a global loss of confidence in media and destabilising polarisation of attitudes. We believe it is possible, indeed necessary, to create a public forum where vital issues of the day are discussed, debated, analysed and circulated.
