Cameroon’s Biya, unseen for 58 days, reshuffles military leadership
Cameroon's President Paul Biya has reshuffled senior military staff, promoting the head of the Presidential Guard to a brigadier general from colonel and replacing commanders in four of the country's five joint military regions, according to three separate presidential decrees.
The appointments included a new commander of the Rapid Intervention Brigade, the promotion of Major General Ebaka Hippolyte to Major General of the Armed Forces General Staff as well as several colonels to the rank of brigadier general, and changes to motorised infantry brigades.
Cameroon's ruling party called a rare meeting of senior leaders last month as criticism mounted over the continued absence of Biya.
