Fifty three days and counting: 93 year old leader’s record absence fuels health speculation The prolonged absence of Paul Biya from public view has become a pressing concern for Cameroon.
At 93 years old, Biya has been in power since 1982, and his latest absence has raised questions about whether he is fit to lead or if there are deeper issues at play.
