喀麦隆2025年的总统选举在受冲突影响的英语地区和极北地区面临重大挑战, Cameroon’s 2025 presidential election faces major challenges in conflict-affected Anglophone and Far North regions, where insecurity, damaged infrastructure, and ongoing violence from Boko Haram and separatist groups threaten voter access. 由于投票站减少,投票率历来很低,2018年仅为5%至16%,因此,对安全、恐吓和选举结果的合法性的担心仍然很大。 With polling stations reduced and turnout historically low—just 5% to 16% in 2018—fears remain high over safety, intimidation, and the legitimacy of results. 92岁的现任总统保罗·比亚(Paul Biya)试图对11名挑战者,包括主张和解的前部长,进行第八届连任。 Incumbent President Paul Biya, 92, seeks an eighth term against 11 challengers, including former ministers advocating reconciliation. 自2017年以来,已有6 000多名平民死亡,900 000多人仍然流离失所,使举行自由和公平投票的努力复杂化。 Over 6,000 civilians have died since 2017, and more than 900,000 remain displaced, complicating efforts to hold a free and fair vote.
