Cameroonian President Paul Biya, who is 93 years old, issued presidential decrees from Geneva, Switzerland, on August 3rd, after an absence of about two months from the country. However, Biya has not left Cameroonian territory since June, marking an unprecedented absence in his 44-year rule, during which he has spent more than 60 days abroad under the guise of a "short private stay." Reports indicate that Biya has spent approximately 2,600 days outside the country throughout his tenure, reflecting limited time spent at home, according to critics. This raises questions about the mechanisms of power management during his absence, especially as official decrees are still being issued from abroad and official assurances about his life persist. His absence coincided with repeated military modifications and periods of internal tension, along with uncertainty about a potential succession, as no vice president has been announced yet. The president's son, Frank Biya, is considered the leading contender for this position.
