Cameroon: government addresses president biya’s extended absence

The Cameroonian government has finally addressed the prolonged absence of President Paul Biya, who has been out of the country for 56 days. René Emmanuel Sadi, the Minister of Communication and government spokesperson, announced President Biya’s imminent return to Cameroon, firmly dispelling widespread speculation.

During a recent interview, Minister Sadi directly refuted claims suggesting President Biya was unwell and hospitalized in a Geneva clinic. He unequivocally stated that such reports were unfounded, rejecting any notion of a power vacuum, a narrative frequently advanced by opposition factions.

The government’s statement aims to reassure the public and quell growing concerns over the head of state’s extended time abroad. President Biya’s return is anticipated shortly, putting an end to the rumors that have circulated regarding his health and the stability of leadership in Cameroon.
