In
Cameroon IG Ango Ango Aug 6 in
Court Corrupt Like UN Guterres
Who Took Favors From Biya
By Matthew
Russell Lee, CJR PFT NYP
UNITED NATIONS
GATE, July 15 – Cameroon's
government is
so corrupt
that last
week a
minister was
so designated
by the US, see
below, now to
be followed on
August 6 by a Biya
administration
kangaroo
court
proceeding,
like the
continued
detention of
Michelle Ndoki and
the refouled
47.
But UN
Secretary General
Antonio
Guterres took
the country's
corrupt
37 year
president's
golden statue
and budget favors
at the UN, and
had Inner City
Press which
asked about it
and him
roughed up and
banned now 371
days from
entering the
UN.
Now
it's reported
that Inspector
General of the
National
Gendarmerie,
Colonel Jean
Claude Ango
Ango "
will appear in
court on
August 6." Even
as Inner City
Press in exile
from the UN
covered the US
federal
SDNY
court, we'll
try to track
this Biya
kangaroon
court...
The
kangaroo court
comes after
this:
"The Secretary
of State is
publicly
designating
the Republic
of Cameroon
Inspector
General of the
Cameroonian
Gendarmerie,
Colonel Jean
Claude Ango
Ango, due to
his
involvement in
significant
corruption
related to
wildlife
trafficking.
This
designation is
made under
Section
7031(c) of the
Department of
State, Foreign
Operations,
and Related
Programs
Appropriations
Act, 2019
(Div. F, P.L.
116-6)
(“Section
7031(c)”).
Section
7031(c)
provides that,
in cases where
the Secretary
of State has
credible
information
that officials
of foreign
governments
have been
involved in
significant
corruption or
a gross
violation of
human rights,
those
individuals
and their
immediate
family members
are ineligible
for entry into
the United
States.
The law also
requires the
Secretary of
State to
publicly or
privately
designate such
officials and
their
immediate
family
members.
In addition to
the
designation of
Mr. Ango Ango,
the Secretary
is also
publicly
designating
Mr. Ango
Ango’s spouse,
Ms. Engono
Akomo.
Today’s action
sends a strong
signal that
the United
States is
committed to
fighting
corruption and
combating the
transnational
crime of
wildlife
trafficking to
preserve our
world’s iconic
species."
After
Paul Biya who
has ruled
Cameroon for 37
years on
January 28 had
his opponent
Maurice Kamto
arrested,
Inner City
Press again asked UN
Secretary
General Antonio
Guterres and
his spokesmen for
their comment
and action, if
any. This came
after Guterres
had Inner City
Press roughed
up on 3
July 2018
after it
interviewed Biya's
Ambassador
about the two
men's Budget
Committee
deals and banned
from the UN
since -
Guterres even tried
to get Inner
City Press
banned from
the Park East
Synagogue,
here, which
was denied /
dodged by his
French spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric, who put
up then took
down a podcast
in which he
brags about
his "mutually
assured
destruction"
relationship
with
journalists, here.
After
Guterres on June
28 tried
to erase his
failure and
failure of
credibility on
Cameroon by
embracing an
attempt to
mediate by
Switzerland, in
Geneva Swiss
police used
tear gas against
protesters
of Biya's
corruption,
right in front
of the UN. Given
Guterres'
track records,
perhaps it
was this that
he was welcoming.
Then
even the Swiss
police arrested
for
roughing up a
journalist six
of Biya's guards
- in the way
the NYPD has yet to
act on
Guterres' abusive
guards Ronald
E. Robbins, who
roughed up
Inner City
Press after it
questioned
Cameroon's
ambassador here,
and others who
didn't give
their names, here.
Inner
City Press live
tweeted
the shameful
UNSC session
and uploaded
Fall's failing
statement here.
