Summary

Cameroon President Paul Biya has not been seen in public since leaving for Europe on June 7. The 93-year-old leader, who has ruled Cameroon since 1982, remains abroad as government business continues and senior military positions are reshuffled. Host Lucy Riley speaks with global affairs analyst Levi Mboushou and DW correspondent Dorcas Ekupe about what Biya's absence means.
