YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Cameroon's 91-year-old president, Paul Biya, returned to the country on Monday after a 42-day absence that had sparked questions about his health and whereabouts.

The chartered plane carrying the president and his wife Chantal Biya from Geneva landed at Nsimalen International Airport in the capital Yaounde a few minutes before 5 p.m. (1600 GMT).
