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.

A feeling of misunderstanding has developed in Cameroon between President Biya and the Cameroonian people. This time around is over the publication of a condolence message from President Biya to the families of the victims of the Airbus A320 crash operated by Germanwings. President Biya published on his official face book page that, "I sent my condolences following the crash of the Airbus A320”
In response to this message of condolence, Cameroonian face book users reacted angrily demanding that their president addressed his condolences to the victims of Boko Haram atrocities in Fotokol and other parts of the country. "Our brothers and sisters who die in the Far North, really deserve sympathy," wrote one of them. "You're laughing at us Mr. CPDM Chairman. We want more job creation for young people that we are. So stop informing us about unnecessary things, "says another visitor.”Have you sent your condolences to the Cameroonians who died in an accident on the Ebolowa highway? "Asks another. However, some moderate users observed that the president has always sent condolences to all the unfortunate situations that occur in the world. To them, it is positive and real diplomacy.
