Cameroon is facing post-election tensions after 92-year-old President Paul Biya was declared the provisional winner of the October 12 presidential vote. According to the National Vote-Counting Commission, Biya secured over 53% of the votes, ahead of main rival Issa Tchiroma Bakary at 35%. If confirmed, this would mark Biya’s eighth term, extending his 42-year rule and making him one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders. Sporadic protests have erupted in Yaoundé and other cities, with security forces using tear gas to disperse crowds. Biya’s advanced age, limited public appearances, and disconnect with the youth remain central concerns amid calls for democratic reforms.

L'Afrique n'a JAMAIS eu d'indépendance dans les années 1960. Le Cameroun est pour les Camerounais. La FRANCE 🇫🇷 est responsable de la destruction au Cameroun, ils dirigent le Cameroun derrière Biya. Biya veut frauder les élections pour pouvoir faire de son fils président. LE MÊME LIVRE DE JEU AU TOGO 🇬🇦🇹🇬, AU GABON et dans d'autres colonies françaises. CELA N'ARRIVERA PAS 😡. Les Camerounais ont voté pour ISSA TCHIROMA BAKARY comme leur 3e président. Le Cameroun n'est pas la propriété de Biya. Le Cameroun est pour les Camerounais.
It's really Sad seeing this great grandpa destroying generations upon generations.Worse is after all these fraud,the military of Cameroon still do not care.They care about themselves.No hospitals,no roads,no schools,no super markets,no light,the country in darkness.What type of wickedness is this? 😭😭😭😭😭😭..The party bribe and harass polly stations to sign him a winner.This is so sad
Biya doesn't even know what's going on..it's his inner circle that's in control
Cameroonians you are stupid. Election election for 40 years. Forget about election. Kick that government out! Now or never..You must do it . Empty that government and the presidency
COUP.
What is this now ?
Let him retire with immediate effect 😢
Now.
Sometimes the problem is the voters themselves
He has never won any elections apart from stealing. There is no kingdom that will last for ever. He has destroyed the younger generation. This time around, he will be surprised with what will happened. Your channel is also a propaganda.
African leaders would rather their countries burn than that they honour election result outcomes ousting them. Just ponder the fact that Paul Biya doesn't live in Cameroon, and that tells a lot.
The God of Africa will punish France in the name of Jesus Christ
Rotten African system
🇨🇲🇨🇲Cameroon is a very youthful country being governed by retirees. The median age in Cameroon is approximately 18 years, with the population being very young, as over 40% of people are under 15 years old. While recent figures place the median age around 18-19, some sources predict the mean age will be around 22.7 years in 2024, though median age is a more commonly cited demographic indicator for young populations.However ,All the top officials in the Cameroon government are past their retirement age , based on the Cameroon governments own retirement age and recent reports.President of Republic of Cameroon Paul Biya : Born: Feb 13, 1933 (92 years), Mvomeka'a, Cameroon. As the head of state and Head of the armed forces, 92 years old President Biya is the most powerful official in Cameroon. He has held the position since 1982 and was a candidate in the 12th October 2025 presidential election, which is still awaiting official results.If He wins Another 7 years term in office, he will be 100 years old when the next election comes around.President of the Senate: Marcel Niat Njifenji, Born: Oct 26, 1934 (90 years), Bangangte, Cameroon Njifenji . He oversees Cameroon's upper legislative chamber. In the event of a presidential vacancy, the Senate President assumes the role of interim president.
(6) President of the National Assembly: Cavayé Yéguié Djibril, Born: Jan 1, 1940 (85 years), Far North Region of Cameroon. Djibril is the head of the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament. He has held this position since 1992. Cameroon deserves leadership that reflects its current demographics, youthful and vibrant . Farewell to Paul Biya and His Whole Government. 👍👍👍
This reminded me of the last USA president. What a thing!…… one hundred years old and counting…..
Please bring out the rocking chair.
Paul Biya (Butcher of Yaounde) leaves shamed and diminished — a French puppet and dictator hollowed out by the terror he unleashed. For years he treated civic dissent as a death sentence: the BIR hunting, burning and detaining with ruthless efficiency across Ambazonia. Survivors speak of entire villages reduced to ash, families torn apart, and a body count and displacement so vast it defies easy tally. He may now be out of power, but that does not wash away responsibility. Biya must answer for the lives lost, the homes razed, and the trauma inflicted on generations. Justice cannot be postponed for political convenience; it is the only true beginning of repair.
A puppet. Biya can hardly talk whose President could he be. You better wake up and be wise. You are becoming a laughing stock to the world. This is insane. Too much corruption in this place. What country can he control. He will be under control. The entire thing is disgusting to watch. What is it going to take for these people to wake up. You know he didn’t win. He is not healthy and ready for the rocking chair. Just ruining the lives of the youth.
Can this man just rest and move on. What is he really doing there at the age of 92?
😂😂😂the oldest none productive fraud president 😡😡😡😡
Paul Biya must either be Assassinated or be removed by the Military. Period
Cameroon🇨🇲 is not a Kingdom.
No Cameroonian🇨🇲 Born Citizen is an idiot, Stupid and Foolish enough to Vote for Paul Biya, after destroying Cameroon for 43 Years, with nothing to show and nothing to portray.
After decades of political dominance and systemic control under President Paul Biya’s regime, it is highly unlikely that any Cameroonian citizen would willingly endorse his continued leadership. Since assuming office in 1982, to date in 2025 that's 43 Years In Power. We've never seen or experianced any Western Politician or President exceeding or being re-elected for 3 mandates, President Biya’s tenure has been characterized by an absence of clear national vision, no purpose, no plans, no objective, no coherent governance strategy, and no effective socio-economic direction.
Over the past four decades, Cameroon has experienced persistent stagnation, institutional decline, and internal divisions. Under his prolonged rule, the nation’s sovereignty and political integrity have often been compromised to serve external interests—particularly those of Western powers, including France and its allies. Rather than advancing the welfare, prosperity, and democratic aspirations of the Cameroonian people, Biya’s administration has consistently aligned itself with foreign directives and geopolitical priorities.
This alignment arguably explains why Western powers such as the United States, the European Union, and Intelligence Agencies like the CIA have shown little inclination to support or engineer any regime change in Cameroon. From their perspective, the current leadership continues to function as a compliant and dependable partner, maintaining a political order favorable to their strategic and economic interests in the region, him and his entire Government and Leadership who are Western Vassals, Puppets and Subordinates.
