President Paul Biya’s prolonged absence from public events, both at home and abroad, has sparked widespread speculation among Cameroonians about his current whereabouts.
Biya, who is 91 years old, travelled abroad in early July for an official mission, starting in France and then heading to China.
However, his noticeable absence from key international gatherings, including the UN General Assembly, has raised eyebrows.
According to official statements, Biya opted to rest in Switzerland instead of attending the UN General Assembly, and he also missed the recent La Francophonie summit in France.
This absence has fuelled concerns and rumours about his health and ability to govern.
Biya, who has been in power since 1982, is Africa’s second-longest-serving president and the world’s oldest head of state.
A presidential source attributed President Biya’s absence from public events to health reasons, according to Africa News.
