Cameroon's President Paul Biya Marks Decade of Unchallenged Rule. Cameroonian President Paul Biya, now 93 years old, secured his eighth consecutive term in office last year, sparking widespread controversy and accusations of electoral irregularities. Despite his advanced age, Biya's grip on power remains unbroken, with critics arguing that his prolonged rule has stifled democratic progress and entrenched authoritarianism in the Central African nation. As Biya's presidency approaches a decade without meaningful opposition, concerns are growing over the country's democratic future and the potential for human rights abuses. The disputed election has also raised questions about the legitimacy of Biya's leadership and the stability of Cameroon's fragile democracy.
