SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 12 – As more and more civilians have been killed by the Cameroon government of Paul Biya, absentee president for 40 years, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has been silent, other than falsely claiming that he got a ceasefire in Cameroon (while he made a deal with Paul Biya, for UN Budget Committee favors).

  Now amid Guterres' false claims and continued banning of Inner City Press with no end in sight (Q&A on law firm letter here), on the morning of August 11, 2021 Inner City Press asked Guterres, spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming and DSG Amina J. Mohammed this: "On Cameroon, on deadline, what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that since August 10 Rebecca Enonchong (@AfricaTechie) has been held at the Légion de Gendarmerie Douala on a "plainte verbal du Procureur Général". No summons, no warrant. "

  Hours later, no answer. On one they let in asked; Dujarric pontificated about the UN giving Cameroon COVID aid, which even the IMF admits is often stolen under Biya. Today's UN is corrupt.

Back on December 9, Guterres' envoy Francois Lounceny Fall told the UN Security Council: "On 6 December, Cameroon successfully held its first ever regional elections aimed at finalizing the decentralization process in the country, including the implementation of a special status for the North-West and South-West Regions."

And Guterres and his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refused all of Inner City Press written questions on Cameroon.

  And on the other hand Human Rights Watch, whose Cameroon "expert" blocks Inner City Press, removed it from HRW's Louis Charbonneau's and UNCA's Oct 8, 2020 "human rights" presser, here.

   While refusing Inner City Press' written questions including on Cameroon Dujarric took this from a long retired photographer for Ng Lap Seng: "Gloria, you had a question.     Question:  Yes, sir. I'm very involved in the Cameroon and those problems on the outskirts. Is there a way, when these people are attacked ‑‑ are also the Congo ‑‑ is there a way... do they have a way to immediately give an alert? Do they have cell phones? Do they have buzzers, like they have here in the schools, in case of a problem that they can press a button?    

Dujarric:  I don't know. I don't know is the short answer.     Correspondent:  Thank you.     Spokesman:  Don't know.     Okay. Okay. Unless I hear anybody wave... see anybody wave their hands frantically, I will leave you in peace, and we'll all go about our day. And I will see you tomorrow. Thank you.     [Briefing concludes]. UN corrupt.

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, 1237 days and counting.

 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.
