Cameroon is a country in Central Africa with a political system that combines elements of democracy and authoritarianism. The President, currently Paul Biya, has been in power since 1982, making him one of the longest-serving leaders in the world. The political landscape includes multiple parties, but the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM) dominates the scene. Elections are held regularly, but they are often criticized for lacking transparency and fairness. The country faces challenges such as regional tensions, particularly in the Anglophone regions, where there are calls for greater autonomy. These issues contribute to ongoing political instability and social unrest.
