Cameroon’s president remains absent in Switzerland amid growing succession concerns

Government assurances fail to quell doubts as Paul Biya enters his 65th day abroad, raising questions about authority and leadership continuity.

Switzerland has quietly become the operational center of power for Cameroon. Since June 7, President Paul Biya has been in Geneva, extending his absence from the country to over 65 days—a historic first for a leader who has held office for 43 years.

Rumors about his ability to govern from abroad are intensifying. Without public appearances or clear updates, some citizens openly question whether the president remains alive.
