Cameroon’s President Paul Biya carries out a military reshuffle while his whereabouts remain uncertain, according to reports citing multiple presidential decrees. The changes are based on three decrees dated August 3 that are signed abroad, as Biya has not appeared publicly since June 7. Among the appointments reported, the head of the Presidential Guard is promoted to brigadier general. The decrees also replace commanders in four of Cameroon’s five joint military regions, affecting senior leadership positions across most of the country’s joint commands. While one joint military region is not described as changing in the reported accounts, the overall reshuffle restructures key elements of the armed forces’ top command. The prolonged absence has led to speculation about when Biya will return to public view. One outlet also reports that the reshuffle is carried out after roughly two months abroad, with details of his return not confirmed. The announcements focus on the leadership changes and the decrees’ provisions, rather than providing additional information about Biya’s location.
