Cameroon’s President, Paul Biya has made headlines after he completely forgot where he was during the Africa Leaders Summit in Washington DC, the United States.
An embarrassing video shows the moment the 89-year-old president didn’t know where he was and why he was there.
Biya’s aide kept trying to prompt him to give his speech after President Paul Kagame of Rwanda had spoken, but the old man was unaware of anything.
The president then audibly farted twice in public causing a moment of discomfort and embarrassment for those in attendance.
He was unable to deliver a speech, despite his aide’s repeated attempts to remind him that he was at the US Africa summit and the world was watching him.
The video showed how amazed the 89-year-old president was by the number of people in the room. He even asked whether he had become a celebrity.
“Who are all these people present?” he is heard asking in the clip. “Why? I did not ask for this,” Buya asked.
Efforts by his aide-de-camp to explain to him the purpose of his presence fails bear any fruits.
“Are there important personalities amongst them?” the president inquires.
“Yes. President Kagame just spoke and it is your turn. You have the microphone,” the aide de camp explains.
“There are ministers in the room. Your mic is on. You have been introduced,” he adds.
“Okay you mean I should now speak? Where?” President Biya asks.
“You can do it sitting down here,” the aide de camp answers
“Why?” he asks.
President Biya then begins scrutinizing the pamphlet that he was supposed to read. All this while he remains seated.
Then his aide-de-camp returns to the stage to prompt him but he remains seated perusing the pamphlet in his hand.
“Everyone is waiting for you to speak,” says the aide.
“Is there no one here to coordinate this?” President Biya shoots back.

How? is it a crime?? to an elderly man to fart they should be telling him thank sir 89yrs is not here
You haven't said anything yet. A president of a country went to a VIP meeting unaware and fart on the process, and your here defending nonsense. Enemy of Africa. Last time South Sudan president urinated on himself during a parade. I know you've defended him as well. Enemy of Africa.

The simple question is why are AFRICAN leaders and their aides so insensitive and selfish. If Robert Mogabe was forced out of power, he would have still be there, just look at Uganda, and we have one Emilokan running for president in Nigeria. African countries are indeed shithole countries. Donald Trump was right!

U guys arguing about fart are all missing the point which is, the man isn't competent and fit to remain in that position but as an African he is, he would rather be making a fool of himself than protecting his dignity and resigning quietly. This is so sad to watch, Cameroonians should demand his immediate resignation from the office. Such a shame and embarrassment!, Can Africans please put an end to all these greed for power and money starting from this platform, anyone reading this should determine to vote for only eligible fit men that can actually move the country forward? Are we not all tired of this treachery? How long will it continue? Rise Africans and demand ur rights!!! Its high time! Nobody needs to fight, all we need is twitter/IG post the truth there and watch how it goes... we've been robbed for so long that it's become normal cos this nonsense will never happen in the western world and not cos they have better economy but because they recognise when something is wrong and call it out demanding a stop to it. Rise Africans rise you lots have slept enough.
