Chantal Biya, the wife of Cameroon's dictator, Paul Biya, has apparently resurfaced in France with medical treatment as alibi. The sickness she is suffering from is not known and the duration she is supposed to be there is also not known. In spite of persistent rumors that the dictator's wife has run away and the fact that she has now apparently turned up in a medical center in France, the dictator still thinks it is none of the business of the Cameroon people to inquire about the absence of his wife. So he is staying mute.
It is reported that Chantal Biya is in a presidential palace in France. It is however not clear whose presidential palace that is: is it the French presidential palace or does Cameroon have another presidential palace in France? If it is the French presidential palace, then we will need to here from the French president about the matter. If Cameroon has another presidential palace in France, we would like to know who runs the palace and how long it has been in existence.
Another issue this raises is why the wife of the president could not obtain medical treatment in Cameroon. Under Paul Biya's watch, the medical system in the country is so dilapidated that good medical care can hardly be obtained in the country. Because he sits on the cash of the country, he can afford to send his wife to France (if we believe that story) while others die at home. The wife of the president deserves good medical treatment while the wives of peasants do not. It is a sickening situation that Paul Biya is creating in Cameroon.
In a related story, it is reported that the wife of Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria's President, has been receiving medial treatment in a hospital in Germany. Just another example of how Africa's leaders fail to develop decent medical facilities in their own countries.

A report based on gossips is worth nothing, it is just a piece of nonsense and that is what you are presenting here. I don’t see anything wrong in people who have the means to go for medical care in foreign countries. The medical system in Cameroon is not perfect but I think it provides the more than adequate care for the poor and average Cameroonian
