Cameroon’s 91-year-old President Paul Biya has been seen in public for the first time in six weeks, dispelling speculation about his ailing health.
His absence from the public eye had led to unfounded rumors of his death.
However, on Monday afternoon, state television showed footage of the president’s arrival at the airport in the capital, Yaoundé, on a flight from Switzerland.
The government had previously banned the media from discussing the health of Biya — who has been in power since 1982 — classifying it as a matter of national security.
The last time Biya had been seen was on September 8, when he attended a China-Africa summit in Beijing.
