Cameroon: A nation on the edge
Presidential silence over burning issues spawns new resistance groups
In June 2019, protests at a five-star luxury hotel in Switzerland marked a turning point in Cameroon’s President Paul Biya’s traditional long stays abroad. More than 250 protesters, clad in military-style garb and waving Cameroonian flags, staged demonstrations against the presence of their “absent” president.

Swiss riot police broke up the protests, but the message was clear. Biya cut short his “brief private stay” abroad and returned to Cameroon a few days later. Since then, he has not left the country on one of his usual private trips.

In March, at the outset of the COVID pandemic in the state, Gov. Phil Murphy declared a public health emergency, closing “non-essential” businesses, schools, and the Division of Developmental Disabilities’ (DDD) congregate day programs, among other things.
