On Wednesday, August 5th, 2026, Cameroon's President Paul Biya approved a significant reshuffle of senior military staff. According to three separate presidential decrees signed on August 3rd, Biya promoted the head of the Presidential Guard to brigadier general and replaced commanders in four of the country's five joint military regions.
This military reorganization comes amid ongoing speculation about Biya's whereabouts, as the world's oldest head of state has not been seen in public since June 7th, 2026.
The reshuffle reflects a strategic move within Cameroon's military leadership, though details about the reasons behind the changes or Biya's absence remain undisclosed.
