Cameroon President Paul Biya departed for Europe days before campaign season began for October elections. The 92-year-old leader travels frequently to Geneva while seeking his eighth consecutive term since taking office in 1982. Sources confirm his absence from the United Nations General Assembly where his foreign minister appeared instead.
Opposition groups struggle to select a unified candidate against Biya despite widespread public dissatisfaction. His daughter Brenda posted social media criticism before quickly removing the statement and apologizing. Cameroonians living abroad plan protests against his expensive international travels while domestic poverty affects one-quarter of the population according to World Bank data.
