Cameroon authorities on Tuesday dismissed widespread speculation regarding the health of 91-year-old President Paul Biya<\/a><\/span> following his extended absence from public view, confirming that he is currently on a visit to Europe and is in good health.<\/p>\n

Biya was last seen in public at the China-Africa summit in Beijing a month ago. Since then, he has not attended gatherings where he had been expected, including the United Nations General Assembly and the International Organization of La Francophonie summit in France.<\/p>\n

Biya, who is known for traveling often to Europe, is known to be sick but no details have been publicly shared.<\/p>\n

The speculation and reports about Biya\u2019s health status have \u201cno connection with reality (and) are the product of fantasy,\u201d Communications Minister Rene Sadi said in a statement, according to Associated Press<\/a> report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe head of state is doing well and will return to Cameroon in the next few days,\u201d Sadi added, giving no details about the nature of the trip or the date of his return.<\/p>\n

Biya is Africa\u2019s second-longest-serving leader and Cameroon\u2019s second president since independence in 1960. He has been in power since 1982. He is the only leader many in the country have ever known.<\/p>\n

Rights groups have accused him and his party of using various tactics including prosecuting and intimidating opponents to strengthen his grip on political power.<\/p>\n

Biya\u2019s government faces various challenges, including\u00a0the secessionist movement<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in Cameroon\u2019s English-speaking provinces that has resulted in deadly clashes with security forces as well as Islamic extremist violence by the Boko Haram group based in neighboring Nigeria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
