AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Presidency Watch: Cameroon’s 93-year-old President Paul Biya has returned to Yaoundé after a 10-week stay abroad, ending a long absence that sparked health and succession questions, with supporters welcoming him at Nsimalen and the Unity Palace—yet critics say uncertainty over who runs the state during such gaps remains. Food Security & Imports: Government says it has earmarked CFAF12.5 billion for 2026 to boost local milk and fish production under its import-substitution plan, with financing agreements signed in Yaoundé to expand producer credit. Maritime Security: Armed pirates hijacked two ships carrying 22 Indian seafarers in separate incidents off Yemen and Somalia; reports say the crews are safe while authorities coordinate with shipping and Somali counterparts. Land & Rights in Ebo Forest: As Cameroon’s Ebo Forest logging concessions expand, Banen communities renew calls for secure customary land rights after decades of displacement and unresolved tenure reform. Digital Governance: Stakeholders in Yaoundé push for a national interoperability infrastructure to make Cameroon’s digital government agenda work beyond fragmented systems. Public Safety Reminder: A Lake Nyos anniversary piece revisits how the 1986 disaster killed about 1,700 people, underscoring the need for warning and risk management.
