Cameroon’s President, Paul Biya, will preside over celebrations marking the 52nd edition of Cameroon’s National Day, according to a press release from the Civil Cabinet of the Republic of Cameroon.
It is the 39th National Day that President Paul is presiding over as President of the Republic of Cameroon. The day is celebrated annually on May 20th.
Celebrations will begin at noon and will culminate in a national banquet hosted by President Paul Biya at the Presidency in the evening. These celebrations include a military and civilian march past.
Prior to the celebrations, there have been widespread rumors that he would not be able to participate in the event. He was last seen in public in images circulating in April while celebrating his 30th wedding anniversary to Chantal Biya.
President Paul Biya, who has been in power for 42 years now, has been urged to run again in the upcoming presidential elections scheduled for 2025.
Cameroon is celebrating its Unity Day amidst an ongoing crisis in the Northwest and Southwest Regions. The crisis, which began in 2017, has claimed many lives and forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes.
