Cameroonian leader's absence prompts military shifts
The Cameroonian government has made widespread changes in the leadership of the armed forces, including promotions and appointments in sensitive military regions, amid the absence of President Paul Biya from public appearances for over two months. Despite official statements confirming that he is in good health and performing his duties from Geneva, doubts remain about his health status and his ability to manage the country, especially amid ongoing security tensions, separatist groups, and Boko Haram threats. Paul Biya has been leading the country since 1982 and is the oldest sitting head of state in the world. He was re-elected in 2025 for a term extendable to 2032, amid internal criticism and opposition concerning his continued absence and the impact this has on political stability and security.
