President Paul Biya has returned to Cameroon after spending two months in Switzerland, his longest recorded stay outside the country since taking power four decades ago.

The world’s oldest president, who has led Cameroon since 1982, began his eighth term in office in November after winning a widely disputed presidential election.

In 2008, the country’s parliament approved a constitutional amendment removing the previous two-term limit, making the president eligible for continuous re-election.
