Cameroonian President Paul Biya has reappeared in public after a six-week absence, sparking speculation about his health. Government reports had suggested he was on an extended stay in Europe, but this was met with skepticism at home. Biya's return to Yaounde's international airport was met with scenes of jubilation, with officials and supporters lining the streets. However, a presenter for state-run broadcaster CRTV's reaction to Biya's return was telling, with the presenter stating "Today the president is on his way and this will put an end to all the speculation", suggesting that rumors about Biya's health had been prevalent.

    1. Finally, this is not a phantom, it is President Paul Biya having a lengthy discussion with government officials.

    1. The army should be under the guidance of the President of the Republic and he's nowhere to be seen.
    2. The people lost their power to choose their head of state.
    3. All around our country, in Chad, in Gabon, in Central African Republic, we did have a head of state who was considered the Almighty and ceased to seen as the Almighty at some point.

    1. Any talk about preparing for a post-mandate is really premature and amounts to speculative analysis.

    1. We understand the structure of the Cameroonian demographic, that the youths constitute about 65% to 70% of the population. That is understandable, and is a reality and the ruling CPDM party factors this in, so it is not an issue.
    2. The culture of fear does not exist in Cameroon, because under the leadership of President Biya, the country has come up with a culture whereby people value freedom and people value unity and living together.
    3. They're very creative, they're very enterprising, and there's no doubt that the future of the country with these young people is great.

    1. I'm not sure Biya would have allowed these crises to escalate today.
    2. President Paul Biya has already given too much for Cameroonians.
    3. Some people are still clamoring the president should still go in for election when they know very well he cannot, because they have some advantages that they are deriving from the fact that he is in office.
    4. If Biya dies in power, it may cause a lot of troubles because of power fighting.
    5. I think his age and his physical capacity requires him to be on retirement.
    6. There should be a proper transition under his supervision.
    7. He's unable to go to those zones due to his age to actually feel the pinch. Also, it is a cause of him not mastering or being able to resolve this crisis.
