Reports have emerged that Paul Biya, Cameroon’s longest-serving president, has passed away. He was said to have died at a military hospital in Paris, France, after being moved from Geneva, Switzerland, due to a medical emergency.
Biya has been at the helm of Cameroon since 1982, making him the second-longest-ruling president in Africa and the oldest head of state in the world. His presidency has been marked by controversy, with allegations of authoritarianism and electoral fraud.

During his tenure, Biya has maintained close ties with France, which has supported his regime and supplied Cameroon with military equipment. He has also navigated complex relationships with neighboring countries, including Nigeria, with whom Cameroon has had territorial disputes.
While there has been no official confirmation of Biya’s passing, the reported news has sparked significant attention. However, without official word from the Cameroonian government or other reliable sources, the status of Biya’s health remains uncertain.
