The world’s oldest president is 92-year-old Paul Biya. On October 27th, Cameroon’s top court said he had won the election again. Before this, supporters of the opposition demanded credible results. Protesters fought with security forces for days, leaving at least four people dead.
 　Biya has led the central African nation since 1982. He has ruled for longer than most citizens have been alive. Over 70% of the population of almost 30 million is younger than 35. The Oct 12th election has revealed growing tensions between Africa’s youth and its many aging leaders.
 　While Cameroon is an oil-producing country with modest economic growth, young people say that the middle and lower classes have not benefited. According to World Bank data, the unemployment rate stands at 3.5%, but 57% of the labor force aged 18 to 35 works in off-thebooks jobs.

　全球最高齡總統是92 歲的保羅畢亞。10月27 日，非洲喀麥隆的最高法院宣布，他再次贏得大選。在正式宣布當選前，反對陣營的支持者因質疑選舉結果的可信度，上街示威抗議，和維安部隊發生了數天衝突，導致至少4 人死亡。
　從1982 年至今，畢亞一直擔任這個中非國家的領導人，他的任期比多數喀麥隆公民的壽命還長。在喀麥隆近3 千萬的人口中，35 歲以下的人口就占了超過七成。10 月12日的這場大選顯示了非洲年輕人與許多年長領導人之間，日益緊張的關係。
　喀麥隆是石油生產國，經濟溫和成長，但年輕人表示，中下階層並未受惠。根據世界銀行的數據，喀麥隆的失業率為3.5%，但18 歲到35 歲的勞動人口中，有57% 的人是從事打零工的工作。
