World's Oldest President Paul Biya Reelected in Cameroon
--------------------------------------------------------

In Cameroon, the world's oldest president, 92-year-old Paul Biya, was
reelected Monday to an eighth term in office. This follows days of
protests during which security forces killed four people. Cameroon's top
court ruled that Biya won the majority of the votes, but the opposition
contested the result. Recently, dozens of opposition supporters,
activists and leaders had been arrested.
