    Paul Biya has ruled Cameroon for longer than most people in the country have been alive. But in a younger, more connected Africa, can the 85-year-old - whose love for an overseas trip has not gone unnoticed - continue to hold on to power?https://bbc.in/2Gbaqqo

        So you write 1 article about Cameroon in more than a month. I lost respect for @BBCWorld @BBCAfrica. That's why we go to @AJENews @AJEnglish for authentic and timely news. Keep the good work @AJENews @AJEnglish @innercitypress

        What is this article about again? Poor and lazy reporting. That's why I don't care for british and french news outlets.

        I support neither him nor Putin. I rather stand for what is right and I am able to do so by knowing what is wrong. Paul Biya out; new generation in.

        You should ask these questions to France, the devil @EmanuelMacron, the fraudulent @UN and that dummy @antonioguterres. These are the people endorsing this madness in Africa.

        The French economy depends on criminal and unpatriotic dictators like Paul Biya who continue to support French agenda of exploitation of the resources of former French colonies. The int. community knows this but continues to give France a pass. # one enemy of Africa is #France

        Though I don't support the idea of an 85-year old taking every day decisions on a predominantly young population, it is not different from a 91yr old ruling a kingdom. Your article can instigate violence in the country.

        . And he was not voted to power. Cameroon should learn from 😕zimbabwe and Biya should learn from Zuma.
