The President of the Republic H.E. Paul Biya has reiterated calls for armed fighters in the Far North, North West and South West Regions to surrender to the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) Centres.

While taking oath of office for a new mandate on Thursday November 6th 2025, the President of the Republic called for the intensification of community dialogue to facilitate the reintegration ex-associates trained in the DDR Centres.

Paul Biya equally used the occasion to caution members of armed groups who despite appeal calls continue to reign terror on innocent population. He challenged them to be ready to face the consequences of their barbaric actions.

The President however , appreciated friendly countries that have began the process of prosecuting those hiding in their countries yet fueling terrorism in Cameroon.

He encouraged other countries to follow suit.

President Paul Biya, it should be noted, holds strongly that terrorism is a global scourge that must be combated vigorously wherever it shows its ugly face.
