Recent rumors regarding the health and possible death of Cameroon’s President Paul Biya have stirred significant public concern. The 91-year-old leader has not been seen in public since early September, and his absence from a recent summit in France intensified speculation about his condition. In response, the Cameroonian government has issued a statement asserting that President Biya is in good health and currently in Geneva, Switzerland.
The government described the circulating rumors as “pure fantasy” and urged the public to disregard them. They indicated that Biya will be returning to Cameroon soon. Despite the official statements, calls for transparency about his health and whereabouts have been growing, with critics suggesting that the lack of information contributes to concerns about political stability and potential succession issues.
Biya’s long tenure since 1982 has left a significant impact on the political landscape of Cameroon, and many citizens express anxiety about the implications of his absence for governance and the future of the country.
