Died today, apparently. If true, the the DDP's first ever 29th February hit. We came close with a vast number of 28 Feb hits and misses in 2020 under my reign of terror.

If he obits of course.

He did. Stop being so fucking obsessed with being negative on the obit chances of people that are obviously going to get one.

@Cowboy Ronnie is rolling over in his grave for your adulterating his thread by renaming it and adding that ridiculous tag line. Shame on the person(s) involved.

Marcel Niat Njifenji, President of the Senate of Cameroon, rumored seriously ill or already dead and has not been seen since November. I think it's very likely he's currently in some French hospital. 

 

The article also mentions rumors going around that Michel Meva'a Meboutou is in ill health. He's the Secretary General of the Senate and former Minister of Finance and had a five-month hospitalisation last year.

Marcel Niat Njifenji returns from France to Cameroon according to DW. Apparently he had another "medical emergency" in December when he was in "very critical condition" on respiratory support. The article claims he is currently unable to talk or walk.

 

New name reported to be in failing health is Clément Atangana, head of Cameroon's Supreme Court.

So who's next? Chiwenga? Kembo Mohadi? The Crocodile himself?

Lots of rumors going around Mohadi's health. Apparently he collapsed during a speech two weeks ago, and it wasn't the first time.

 

More alarming, Chiwenga (god knows how he's still alive) has flown to China in January and May this year for "checkups".

Nujoma recuperating well despite death hoaxes spreading around.

 

The last of a whole breed of African leaders, considered the founding father of his country, and more controversial than I thought. Could be a DL pick and maybe deserves a thread.

Yeah, I think Namibia was one of the last countries to become independent. So, in terms of being the last "father of the nation", he might be up there. And the DL did have Arap Moi on, after all.
