Cameroon’s president draws concern and criticism by staying abroad for 2 months

Cameroon President Paul Biya has marked two months since he was last seen inside the borders of his country. The prolonged absence of the 91-year-old leader, who has been in power for decades, has sparked widespread public concern regarding his health.

In addition to worries over his physical condition, the extended stay abroad has drawn sharp criticism from domestic observers and critics regarding the potential creation of a power vacuum in the Central African nation.
