Cameroonian President Paul Biya celebrates 42 years in power with rallies, special broadcasts and calls for an eighth term in office.

Biya, 91 , returned to Cameroon after six-week absence amid rife speculation about his health.

He took the helm in 1982 on the resignation of Ahmadou Ahidjo , the longest-serving head of state in Africa .

In keeping with his customary silence on the matter, Biya has given no indication of his intentions.
