In Cameroon, a series of presidential decrees officially appointing five new brigade generals has intensified public discourse surrounding the prolonged absence of President Paul Biya. Since his departure from Cameroon on June 7, the head of state has not made any public appearances, fueling widespread speculation across the nation. On various social media platforms, citizens and commentators are openly questioning the authenticity of the signatures affixed to these recent directives. Conversely, government authorities have consistently affirmed that President Biya remains fully in control and actively managing state affairs, despite his current low public profile, seeking to reassure the populace amidst the African current affairs.
