Cameroon's 93-year-old president Biya's long European absence fuels health and succession questions
Cameroon's 93-year-old President Paul Biya left on June 7 for a 'brief private stay in Europe' and has not returned for about two months. Officials say he is not hospitalized, but his extended absence has revived questions about a possible vacancy in the presidency and who is governing Cameroon in his stead, highlighting concerns over aging leadership and the country’s governance amid ongoing economic and security challenges.
