Paul Biya’s Long Absence Breeds Anxiety
Political uncertainty in Cameroon is growing due to President Paul Biya’s 45-day absence from the country.
The ruling party convened a rare meeting of senior leaders, raising questions about succession and future leadership.
Opposition parties are pressing the government to clarify Biya’s status and ensure continuity of state governance.
Biya, Africa’s second-longest-serving president, has not named a successor, though legislation for a vice presidency was recently approved but remains unfilled.
