  1. Cameroon a nation held hostage not by foreign invaders, but by its own aging rulers.

    For over four decades, President Paul Biya, the world’s oldest serving head of state, has maintained power with an iron grip, watching generations rise and fall under his rule. At 92, he presides over a youthful population where more than 70% are under the age of 35 — yet they remain spectators in a political drama written long before many were born.

  2. 🇨🇲🇨🇲 President Paul Biya, shredded the constitution and Nothing happened to him. All this youths acting unlawfully are following the example of Cameroons top politician. Cameroon has made at least two significant constitutional changes since 1982: a revision in 1984 and the adoption of the current constitution in 1996, which itself was amended in 2008. The 1984 revision renamed the country, redefined presidential succession, and redrew provincial lines. The 1996 constitution, established in response to federalism pressure, introduced more autonomy for regions and a Senate, although these provisions have not been fully implemented. The 2008 amendment was notable for removing the presidential term limit.
    1984 Revision: A new constitution was enacted shortly after Paul Biya became president. It changed the country's name to the Republic of Cameroon, redrew provincial boundaries, and altered the line of succession to the presidency.
    1996 Constitution: This constitution was adopted in response to calls for federalism. It increased the number of articles, established a bicameral legislature (with a Senate), and granted more autonomy to the regions (formerly provinces).
    2008 Amendment: Six articles of the 1996 constitution were amended. The most significant change was the removal of the two-term limit for the president, according to the Journal of Global Justice and Public Policy.
