Chantal Biya (Шаблон:Née Chantal Pulchérie Vigouroux; born 4 December 1969) is the first lady of Cameroon.

Early life

Chantal Biya was born in Dimako, East Province, Cameroon.[1] Her father was French expatriate Georges Vigouroux. Her mother, Rosette Ndongo Mengolo, was a Miss Doumé pageant winner. Her mother was elected mayor of Bangou following the July 2007 municipal elections.[2] She spent her adolescence in Yaoundé.[3]

Philanthropy

She established the Шаблон:Lang in 1994.[4] In 1996, she hosted the inaugural First Ladies Summit in Yaoundé.[5] The Jeunesse active pour Chantal Biya is an organ of her husband's Cameroon People's Democratic Movement.[6]

Corruption

Paul and Chantal Biya's corruption and the theft of national assets of Cameroon has been well-documented. With her son Franck, she purchased apartments in Paris despite no visible income. U.S. diplomatic cables confirm endemic corruption in Cameroon, which reportedly amounted to more than $650 million between 2017 and 2022.[7]

Bertrand Teyou

In November 2010, Bertrand Teyou published a book, Шаблон:Lang (English: "The Belle of the Banana Republic: ChantalШаблон:NbspBiya, from the Streets to the Palace"),[8] tracing Biya's rise from humble origins to become First Lady.[9][10] He was subsequently given a two-year prison term on charges of "insult to character" and organising an "illegal demonstration" for attempting to hold a public reading.[9][10]

Amnesty International and PEN International's Writers in Prison Committee both protested his arrest and issued appeals on his behalf. Amnesty International named him a prisoner of conscience.[10][11] He was freed in April 2011 when a well wisher agreed to pay his fine in order that he might seek treatment for his worsening health.[12]
