SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 6 – As more and more
civilians have been
killed by the Cameroon
government of Paul Biya,
absentee president for 37
years, UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres has been
silent. And the UN Security
Council has been failing, too.
Things
have become so corrupt in the
UN that August's President of
the UN Security Council,
Indonesia, not only banned
Inner City Press from asking
Cameroon questions at its
Program of Work press
conference on August 3. After
Inner City Press tweeted the
Cameroon question to
@IndonesiaUNNY, the country's
Mission blocked Inner City
Press on Twitter. Perhaps it's
because of how the country
treats West Papua.
Now this:
Thomas Nganyu Tangem,
Anglophone detainee rushed to
the Yaounde Central Hospital
after allegedly suffering for
over five months of ill health
in prison has finally given up
the ghost, chained to his
hospital bed. News of his
passing away were made public
early Wednesday August 5 by
the head the Communication
Department of the Defense team
of the Anglophone leaders,
Barrister Amungwa Nicodemus
Esq. According to the
information, Thomas Nganyu
Tangem died chained to his
hospital bed “to the
satisfaction of the prison and
justice administrators…”
Reports say Thomas was
arrested some three years ago
in Bengwi, Momo Division of
the North West region of
Cameroon after which he spent
two years in prison without
judgement.
So the
UNSC will do nothing. Only
*after* diplomats leave
Guterres' corrupt UN do they
at least answer questions:
On July 24,
Inner City Press asked
the UK's former UN Ambassador
- now Ambassador in DC - Karen
Pierce, "Why during your
tenure at the UN did the UN
Security Council do nothing
about the slaughter of
Anglophones by Cameroon's
ruler Paul Biya? What is the
UK doing about it? What do you
make of UNSG Antonio
Guterres ' smiling photo-op
with Biya?"
Ambassador
Pierce to her credit at least
responded:
"Cameroon is not on the UN
Security Council's agenda, but
there have been several
serious discussions of events
there, held at the UN. The UK
has chaired ARRIA meetings on
Cameroon and has also
sponsored a resolution at the
HRC."
Inner City
Press has replied
/ followed up, "Thanks for
your response, but I remember
from being in the UN - before
being ousted and banned
b Antonio
Guterres on & since
3 July 2018 - that pro-Biya
UNOCA Envoy Francois Fall has
called"separarists" in British
Southern Cameroons as
'extremists.'" We'll have more
on this.
Inner City Press
was informed by sources in
Guterres' own 38th floor
office that Guterres had made
a deal with Biya's UN
Ambassador Tommo Monthe as
chair of the UN Budget
Committee for administrative
favors in exchange for silence
on the slaughter or "subduing"
of the Anglophone minority.
When Inner City
Press asked about it, Guterres
used UN Security to rough
up Inner City Press
right after it interviewed
Monthe, and to ban it from
entering the UN, 710 days and
counting.
On June 12,
while Guterres' spokesman
Stephane Dujarric refused all
questions from Inner City
Press as pro-Biya envoy
Francois Fall's briefing
resulted in UNSG "Press
Elements" read by Nicolas de
Riviere of the French Mission
that did not mention Cameroon,
this:
the Cameroon army raided
Mbokam, a village in
Cameroon's North West
region. Amateur images
taken this afternoon show some
persons shot to death and
buildings razed to
ashes. Unconfirmed
reports say 11 persons were
killed in the raid.
We'll have more on this.
So what
Cameroon issues is corrupt
Guterres blocking? How about
his friend Paul Biya arresting
people handing out COVID-19
masks? This has been happening
since May, with no answer from
Guterres or Dujarric to Inner
City Press. Now it it in
German media - but nothing
from the German Mission to the
UN, complicit in Guterres'
censorship. The UN (and EU)
become more corrupted every
day. Watch this site.
On June 2,
news that Buea-based
journalist Samuel Wazizi a/k/a
Samuel Ajiekah Abuwe was
killed. According to Equinoxe
Television, he died within a
few days in detention from
wounds and injuries sustained
after his arrest - that is, he
was killed by Biya's forces.
And Guterres' UN has refused
each and every question about
Cameroon from the Press -
Guterres is complicit and
corrupt.
On June 3,
4 and 5 Inner City Press asked
Guterres and his spokesperson
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming in writing about the
killing of Wazizi - no answer
at all. On June 4 Inner City
Press put the question to
Guterres himself as he went
from mansion to Mercedes, here
- nothing.
On
April 30 Inner City Press in
writing asked Guterres and his
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming questions
including about the 14 luxury
cars to Biya's cronies - no
answer.
On April
20, Inner City Press asked
Dujarric, Guterres and others
21 questions including this:
"this morning Inner City Press
asked [an NGO often invited
into Guterres' UN and which
for now gives preference to
his UN Censorship Alliance]
which said it would be 'highly
problematic' if Guterres does
not include Cameroon in his
CAAC report. Why hasn't he to
date? Is he still claiming and
taking credit for a
ceasefire?"
Two days,
no answer at all. Only this
read out by Dujarric from his
penthouse apartment: "we
acknowledge the commitment of
the President of Cameroon to
resolve the conflict in the
North‑West and South‑West
regions through peaceful
means." Video on Facebook;
YouTube.
Guterres is a corrupt censor,
Now there's
widely circulated video
a toddler whose mother was
killed in Babanki (Kedjom
Ketinguh) in Mezam, in the
North West region of Cameroon.
Soldiers are responsible, and
10 other civilians have been
killed. Meanwhile corrupt
Guterres and Catarina Vaz
Pinto, the First Lady of Faux
Socialism, ran right by Inner
City Press loud questions
about Cameroon on February 29,
into the publicly funded
mansion Guterres lives in some
of the time. Story here
with video. He, and it
seems they, are corrupt and
complicit.
Also: one
of the witnesses who exposed
the Biya government's mass
killing at Ngarbuh, Mallam
Danjuma has been killed and
dumped in Bui by government
forces in Kikaikelaki. And
from the UN of Guterres?
Nothing. This is Guterres'
genocide. He has the only
press that ask him about it,
even from his propaganda
speech at NYC's The New
School.
This is Guterres'
genocide. Watch this site.
