Paul Biya back in Cameroon after Disappearing to Europe for 73 Days
Cameroon’s 93-year-old president, Paul Biya, is back from a 73-day-long trip to Europe. Biya left Cameroon for what his government had called a brief, private stay. But speculation was rife that Biya was in Geneva, Switzerland, to receive medical treatment for health problems. Biya is the world’s longest ruling national leader who isn’t a monarch. Firstpost looks at how Biya has managed to stay in power for over four decades, and why his lack of succession planning has Cameroonians worried about instability when he passes. Alyson Le Grange tells you more on Firstpost Africa.
