Cameroonian President Paul Biya Reappears After Health Speculation

The 91-year-old leader returned to Cameroon, quelling rumors about his health after a prolonged absence.

President Paul Biya was seen in public for the first time in six weeks, returning from Switzerland to Cameroon.
Speculation about Biya's health arose due to his absence from major international events, including the UN General Assembly.
The government banned media discussions on Biya's health, citing national security, amid persistent rumors of his death.
Cameroon faces significant challenges, including a secessionist movement and Boko Haram violence, under Biya's long rule.
Biya's return may prompt calls within his party for him to seek another term in the upcoming presidential election.
