- Philémon Yunji Yang (born June 14, 1947) is a Cameroonian politician who has been Prime Minister of Cameroon since 30 June 2009. He was previously the Assistant Secretary General N°1 of the Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon, with the rank of Minister, from 2004 to 2009. He served in the government from 1975 to 1984 and was Cameroon's Ambassador to Canada from 1984 to 2004. Yang was born in Jikejem-Oku, located in the Bui Department of the Northwest Province of Cameroon. After studying law at the University of Yaoundé, he became a prosecutor at the Court of Appeal in Buea in January 1975. He was then appointed as Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration in the government named on June 30, 1975, before being appointed as Minister of Mines and Energy on November 8, 1979. He remained in that position for more than four years before being excluded from the government that was named on February 4, 1984. He then became Ambassador to Canada on 23 October 1984, a post in which he remained for 20 years; his title changed to High Commissioner when Cameroon joined the Commonwealth of Nations in 1995. He also served as the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in Canada for about 10 years. Moreover, he was well respected and liked within the African community in Ottawa, Canada. His time in Ottawa was dedicated to securing more foreign aid for his country, despite human rights abuses and Canadian concerns about corruption. Along with other representatives of African countries, he was pleased by Canada's commitment to debt relief in 2000. Yang lived in Ottawa's Grenfell Glen neighbourhood during his long stint as High Commissioner. He remained High Commissioner to Canada until he was appointed as Assistant Secretary-General of the Presidency of Cameroon on December 8, 2004. He left Ottawa on December 17 and was installed as Assistant Secretary-General of the Presidency on December 21. President Paul Biya appointed Yang as Prime Minister on June 30, 2009, replacing another anglophone, Ephraim Inoni. Yang's appointment was the largest shakeup since his predecessor was named Prime Minister in December 2004. Biya stated on state radio that three ministers from the previous government had switched places, six new names were added while six portfolios were cut entirely. The opposition said that it did not expect a great deal of change due in part to the continuance of a large government. They had been hoping for a cut to thirty ministers; the real number remains in the sixties. The reshuffle was believed to have been spurred on by public anger over rising food prices and the discontent with the high level of government corruption. Adding to this, the move was seen as an attempt by Biya to shore-up support for the next presidential election in 2011. In addition to Yang, there are new defence, posts and telecommunications, communication, education, women promotion, water and energy, and sports ministers.
