In
Cameroon of Biya National
Assembly Built and Paid For By
China Like UN Guterres and CEFC
By Matthew

UNITED NATIONS
GATE, July 12 –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.
Now it's reported
that Cameroon
is not
only taking
China's money
to build a new
National
Assembly
building --
all of the
work will be done
by, and the
jobs go to,
a Chinese
firm. This is
a total sell
out, to the
same "Belt and
Road" bribers Antonio
Guterres has tried
to conceal his
financial
links with,
including by
roughing up
and censoring
the Press.
Here's the
state media
announcement:
"The
construction
of Cameroon’s
new National
Assembly
headquarters
is scheduled
to begin by
the end of the
month of July,
official
reports have
confirmed. The
information
was disclosed
by the
President of
the follow up
committee in
charge of the
construction
of the
project, Hon.
Theodore
Datouo during
a press
conference
held today in
Yaounde
today.
The project
reportedly
financed by
the Chinese
government at
an amount of
54.5 Billion
CFA frs will
commence by
the end of
this
month.
According to
Hon. Theodore
Datouo, the
constructions
will be hosted
on three
different
sites which
are Wada,
Municipal Lake
and at the
National
Gendarmerie.
The later and
all its
occupants will
relocate to
Olembe.
Reports hold
that the
building is
expected to
stand on a
surface area
of over 90,000
square metres
with
facilities
like a 400
sitter
parliamentary
chamber,
several entry
points as well
as
gardens.
Announced
several months
ago, the
construction
becomes
imminent with
the reported
arrival to
Cameroon of
the Chinese
enterprise
selected for
the job that
will be
delivered in
48 months." A
Chinese enterprise
will do all
the work, and
take
all the money.
How's that for
empowerment? This is the
new world
order,
assisted and
covered up for
by corrupt
Antonio
Guterres.
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
May UNSC
session and uploaded
Guterres' envoy
Francois
Fall's
failing
statement here.
