SUPPORTERS Of Cameroon’s Opposition Leader, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, Have Camped Outside The Former Minister’s Residence Amid Fears That President Paul Biya’s Government May Order His Arrest.
The Move Comes In The Wake Of The October 12, 2025 Presidential Election, Where Both The Ruling Party And The Opposition Have Claimed Victory. Official Results Have Yet To Be Released And Are Not Expected For Several More Weeks Due To The Tense Political Climate.
Groups Of Young Supporters Have Taken Shifts Standing Guard Outside Bakary’s Home, Saying Their Presence Is To Ensure His Safety. They Have Called On President Biya, Who Is 92 Years Old And Has Ruled Cameroon For 43 Years, To Step Down.
“Cameroonians Are Suffering,” Said One Protester. “Look At The Youth Out Here — We’re Exhausted. We Are Graduates With No Jobs. We Need Change From North To South, East To West. We Don’t Want War. Father Biya, You Must Hand Over Power.”
Following The October 12 Election, Protests Have Erupted Across The Country, With Reports Of Security Forces Using Force To Quell Demonstrations, Leading To Violent Clashes. The Situation Remains Tense, Particularly In The City Of Garoua, Where Unrest Continues.
