Unveiling Tomorrow's Cameroon Through Today's News

Breaking

 

This is a picture from Mr Biya's recent visit to Nigeria. Nigeria's President, Mr Buhari shows Paul Biya the various Presidents Nigerians have had since independence in 1960. Mr Biya is laughing out his lungs. He could be saying to himself how foolish Cameroonians are.

He should be thanking his stars for being lucky or maybe he should be proud for being the smartest African Presidents. However, the Cameroons people are the only factor to be blame.

No end to African strongman era

Biya  has ruled Cameroon since November 1982, he is the oldest sub-Saharan African president after Robert Mugabe. The Zimbabwe leader, who turned 92 in February, has headed that country since late 1987.

The end of the African strongman era was predicted back in 2014, when mass protests in Burkina Faso ousted President Blaise Compaore after 27 years in power.

Biya became president on November 6, 1982 after serving seven years as prime minister. In 2008, revised the constitution to remove presidential term limits.
