Biya is back in Yaounde

After 27 days out of the country, President Biya and Chantal Biya returned to the nation’s capital Yaoundé on March 27, 2015, under strong military presence. Cameroon's presidential couple arrived in Yaoundé early in the evening of yesterday from Europe.

Despite the untimely water shortages and electricity and giant traffic jams which residents of Yaoundé are subject to, CPDM militants were mobilized by the hierarchy to greet their leader. The city was crisscrossed by elements of the Presidential Guard, deployed for the security of the presidential couple.

It should be recalled President Biya and Chantal Biya left Yaoundé on March 1 for a private stay in Europe- a trip that caused a lot of controversy both in the foreign press and local media. French media announced that the Cameroon presidential couple were hospitalized. Yaoundé published a denial.
