What is Paul Biya looking for in Geneva?

While a part of our territory is being invaded by the heavily armed Nigerian troops, some observers who warned of security issues argue that the president of the Republic should immediately cut short his vacation and return to the country.

Recently, the State media have chosen to remain silent, on the serious situation prevailing in the North.

Sunday, August 24, 2014, nearly 400 heavily armed men were spotted in the town of Larmanay, located between Cameroon, the Central African Republic and Chad. According to information reported by Camerooninfo.net, these guerrillas camped on the mountains that separate the two countries, for two months.

At the same time, according to the same sources, 1200 Nigerian soldiers heavily armed (with tanks and armoured vehicles) found refuge in certain regions of the far North, after fleeing fighting opposed to the troops of the Islamic sect Boko Haram.

Leaving Yaounde for Washington, at the beginning of the current month, the president of the Republic had alleged that the United States-Africa Summit, organized by the White House, would be an opportunity for him to meet his Chadian and Nigerian counterparts to discuss Boko Haram.
