喀麦隆93岁总统保罗·比亚近两个月未在公开场合亮相，引发国内对其健康状况的担忧[1]。6月7日离开该国前往瑞士日内瓦后[1]，比亚于本周一通过远程颁布法令，宣布对军队领导层进行重大调整[1]。此举包括重新任命雷蒙德·让·查尔斯·贝科奥·阿邦多为总统卫队司令——他自2013年以来一直担任该职位[1]——以及晋升五名上校为准将[1]。
政府发言人勒内·埃曼努埃尔·萨迪声称总统活着，并将很快返回国家[1]。然而，长期缺席与远程行使权力引发了制度层面的担忧。反对党CRM党副主席马马杜·莫塔指出国家存在"制度真空"[1]。政府曾在两年前宣布禁止国内媒体报道比亚的健康状况[1]，使得公众对其目前状态的了解受到严格限制。
Cameroon's 93-year-old President Paul Biya has not appeared in public for nearly two months, prompting concerns about his health and governance while he remains in Geneva, Switzerland [1]. During his absence, Biya issued a presidential decree on Monday reshuffling key military positions, including the reappointment of Raymond Jean Charles Beko Abondo as commander of the presidential guard, a role he has held since 2013 [1]. The decree also promoted five senior colonels to the rank of brigadier general [1].
The prolonged absence has triggered domestic unease about a potential power vacuum. Government spokesperson René Emmanuel Sadi stated that the president remains alive and will return to the country soon [1]. However, opposition figures have raised alarms about institutional instability. Mamadou Mota, vice president of the opposition CRM party, characterized the situation as creating an institutional void within the state [1]. The government has maintained a two-year-old ban on Cameroonian media reporting on the president's health status [1]. Biya departed Cameroon for Geneva on June 7 [1].
