World’s Oldest President Returns Home After 74 Days of Absence

Cameroon’s nonagenarian leader has returned home after spending 74 days in Switzerland, his longest stay outside the country since becoming president nearly 44 years ago.

President Paul Biya, 93, appeared on state television while arriving at the airport in the capital, Yaounde, on Thursday. The latest travel by the oldest ruler in the world, in power since 1982, is believed to be for medical care in the European country, where he usually resorts for long periods for health screening.
