The President of Cameroon, Paul Biya on Wednesday made major changes to the country’s ministry of defence.
The decision of Biya is coming as coups continue to spread on the African continent.
Some Presidents are taking proactive steps by reshuffling defence portfolios.
Among the posts reshuffled were the delegate to the presidency in charge of defence, air force staff, navy, and the police.
Biya came to power in a coup d’etat in 1982. His early years on the saddle were marred by reports of oppression and human rights violations.
Although he subsequently allowed multiparty elections in the country, the 90-year-old has remained president since he rode to power.
