This Is How Paul Biya Led Cameroon From Switzerland

In a "private" stay in Switzerland since mid-September, Paul Biya resolved to return to Cameroon on October 21, more than a month later, not without making his return by an official communiqué of the presidency specifying his time of arrival and the protocol aspects had returned to Yaoundé a few days earlier.
