Cameroonian President Paul Biya has returned to Cameroon after a 73-day absence, during which he reportedly stayed in Geneva with family and close aides. His long absence has drawn criticism from the opposition, who argue that the country was left to run on 'autopilot'.
This situation raises questions about governance and leadership in Cameroon, especially given Biya's advanced age.
Paul Biya has been in power since 1982, making him one of the longest-serving leaders in Africa. His recent absence comes amid ongoing political tensions in Cameroon, including issues related to governance and public discontent.
Biya's extended stay abroad at the age of 93 highlights concerns regarding the stability of leadership in Cameroon. The opposition's criticism reflects a growing sentiment among citizens who may feel neglected during his absence.
