Episode Synopsis

Cameroon has just re-elected the world’s oldest president, Paul Biya — at 92 years old and over four decades in power. In this episode, I break down how he’s managed to stay in control since 1982, from colonial systems and elite loyalty to Western backing and a frustrated generation of youth demanding change. This isn’t just about one man; it’s about what happens when an entire nation feels trapped in time.
