Is Cameroon ready for another Biya term? DW 01/16/2025
Briefly

Dr. John Akpo states, "There is no doubt about President Paul Biya's candidacy for the next election," reflecting the ongoing support for the long-serving leader despite his age and health concerns.
Akpo critiques the political landscape, saying, "Those in opposition calling for the return of President Paul Biya are satellite parties that were created by the same ruling party to fight the [actual] opposition," illustrating the manipulation within Cameroonian politics.
Lawyer and opposition politician Tamfu Richard mentions, "I'm not sure Biya would have allowed these crises to escalate today," pointing to the impact of Biya's age on his ability to handle national issues effectively.
Richard also notes, "He's unable to go to those zones due to his age," emphasizing Biya's disconnect from the realities faced by Cameroonians amid ongoing crises.
