Plenty of plantains

Women selling plantains

Women sell plantains at a roadside market near the University of Buea in Cameroon. The starchy bananas are a staple of the Cameroonian diet and were served at almost all the meals at the Buea International Conference for the Mathematical Sciences.

Buea-Veggies

Vegetable hawkers pile up their goods on the side of the road during rush hour in Buea, Cameroon.

Buea-Peppers

Cameroonians like their food spicy, and a boy sells fiery habanero peppers at a roadside market.

    I would like to use the photo of plantains for sale at roadside in a non-commercial booklet for a local history charity in the UK.
    May I use the image and what attribution should i use.
