 So Linus Williams (Blord) has been released from Kuje prison after fulfilling his bail conditions, finally, freedom after a few weeks in custody. However, here’s the current position of his case:  He is still expected to show up and stand his trial.  If he fails to appear in court even for one day, his bail can be revoked and a bench warrant may be issued against him, meaning a return to Kuje. If the prosecution cannot prove the charges against him, he will be discharged and acquitted. If the prosecution proves the charges, he may be sentenced and sent back to Kuje. I think he should seek a peaceful resolution to the case. Congrats to him on his freedom for now.

 Cameroon's Paul Biya: World's oldest president sworn in for 8th term


Paul Biya, who has been president of Cameroon for 43 years, was sworn in on Thursday for an eighth term, after a contested election that sparked mass protests in which several demonstrators died.


The 92-year-old Biya, the world's oldest head of state, won the October 12 with 53.7 percent of the vote, according to official results, against 35.2 percent for his main challenger, former government minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary.


He was sworn in at a ceremony in parliament in the capital, Yaounde, for a new seven-year term at the helm of the central African country.


"I will spare no effort to continue to be worthy of this trust," Biya told the gathering attended by local political figures but no foreign leaders.


"I fully understand the gravity of the situation our country is going through. I understand the number and severity of the challenges we face and I understand the depth of frustrations and the scale of expectations," he continued.


Closely fought election


Tchiroma, a former Biya ally turned opposition figure, stirred enthusiasm among young voters and continues to insist he is the true winner of the election, which was closer than expected.


Several people are reported to have died when security forces quashed opposition rallies just before and after Biya's win was announced on October 27.


Tchiroma has since urged supporters to stage "dead city" operations, closing shops and halting other public activities.


The response has been mixed, with the call being widely followed in Garoua and Douala but in Yaounde most shops remained open, children were at school and employees went to work.


Tchiroma had been confined to his home in Garoua after the results were announced, but on Tuesday, one of his spokespeople told AFP that he was "on the move."


Charges against Tchiroma


The government has said it plans to initiate legal proceedings against the opposition leader, denouncing his "repeated calls for insurrection."


It has acknowledged that people died in the unrest but has not provided a toll.
