The streets of Cameroon are tense. At least four people are dead in Douala, shot during chaotic clashes with security forces. Over 100 have been arrested nationwide. This is the volatile backdrop against which Cameroon's top court has just declared the incumbent, Paul Biya, the winner of the nation's latest presidential election.
The 92-year-old, who is the world's oldest president, has now officially secured another term, extending his 42-year grip on power. The announcement, however, has been met with defiance from an opposition that claims the result is a fraud and a violation of the people's will.
