💨 Abstract

Cameroon has banned discussions about the health of President Paul Biya, who is 91, after his prolonged absence sparked speculation about his well-being. The interior minister called it a matter of national security, and any violators will face legal consequences. The move has been criticized as state censorship, and a press freedom advocacy group is concerned about hiding behind national security on such a significant issue. Biya hasn't been seen in public since early September.
