James Cleverly, the UK’s former foreign secretary, is making a comeback in Conservative Party politics—this time as shadow housing secretary. The move comes as Kemi Badenoch reshuffles her team, signaling a fresh push on housing policy ahead of the next election.

Editor’s Note: Cleverly’s return to a high-profile role suggests the Tories are shoring up their front bench with experienced figures, especially on housing—a hot-button issue for voters. It’s a tactical play, but whether it pays off depends on how the party tackles the housing crisis. For now, it’s a clear sign they’re not done fighting.

At 92 years old, Cameroon’s President Paul Biya—already the world’s longest-serving leader—is gearing up to run for an eighth term in October. Despite widespread poverty, corruption scandals, and even grumblings within his own political party, he remains the clear frontrunner. It’s a situation that highlights both his iron grip on power and the challenges facing Cameroon’s democracy.

Editor’s Note: Biya’s continued dominance raises big questions about political stagnation in Cameroon. While his supporters argue he brings stability, critics see a leader clinging to power while the country struggles with deep-rooted issues. For a region where long-serving leaders are common, this election could signal whether change is possible—or if the status quo will hold.
