Cameroon President Paul Biya made his first public appearance in 73 days when he received the women's national soccer team at the presidential palace following their Africa Cup of Nations triumph
Cameroon’s nonagenarian president has returned home after spending 74 days in Switzerland, his longest stay outside the country since becoming president nearly 44 years ago.
🇨🇲 Cameroon's 93-year-old president has been out of the country since June, and no one will say why.
Paul Biya has ruled Cameroon for more than 40 years. He left on June 7 for a "brief private stay in Europe" and still hasn't come back.
The government says he's in Geneva, Switzerland and wasn't hospitalized, but won't say what he's doing there or when he's returning.
When a leader that old vanishes into a Swiss city for two months, people start asking the obvious: is he even still able to run the country, or even alive?
The longer the silence drags on, the harder "everything's fine" is to believe.
