Cameroonian President Paul Biya has returned to his country following a ten-week absence in Switzerland, triggering widespread mockery and criticism online. Biya, who has been in power since 1982 and is currently serving his eighth term, faces intense scrutiny over his frequent absences while the nation grapples with economic hardships, a separatist conflict in its English-speaking regions, and security threats near Lake Chad. Many citizens, half of whom have known no other leader, have compared his return to a state visit by a foreign dignitary. International reports have long tracked his extensive private stays abroad. Furthermore, despite a constitutional amendment in April that established the office of Vice President, the position remains vacant, raising significant concerns regarding the stability of the state and the mechanisms for a potential future transfer of power.
