SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 13 – As more and more
civilians have been
killed by the Cameroon
government of Paul Biya,
absentee president for 42
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 December 30, 2021, Inner
City Press in writing asked
incoming UN Security Council
president for January 2022
Norway to access to the
January 3 press conference by
its Ambassador Mona Juul, also
linked to Jeffrey Epstein and
now convicted Ghislaine
Maxwell. Received but as of
this writing no answer two
weeks later: censorship.
Inner City
Press has for days asked SG
Guterres and his spokespeople
Melissa Fleming and Stephane
Dujarric: "On Cameroon what
are the comments and actions
if any of SG Guterres on that
A senior official involved in
Cameroon's hosting of the
Africa Cup of Nations has
assured that separatist rebels
pose no threat to the
tournament, which begins on
Sunday. Engamba Emmanuel
Ledoux admitted that last week
groups fighting for the
independence of Anglophone
Cameroon set off an explosion
in the town of Limbé, which
will host some of the
games. But he said the
government had introduced
security measures to stop the
rebels from attacking the
event or the nearby town of
Buer, where some of the
players are expected to
stay. "The threats have
been going on. This is not the
first time. You know, we
organized the Chan [African
Nations Championship] last
year within the same
environment," he said."
No answer.
Now crackdown and a policeman
has been killed as the band
plays on in Buea and Limbe. We
are asking again - watch this
site.
Inner City
Press has asked UNSC President
Norway to be able to ask it
about the UN's (lack of) work
on Cameroon, other than
Guterres' collusion with Paul
Biya, amid this in late
December: A military tribunal
in Cameroon has jailed dozens
of opposition supporters for
terms of up to seven years for
"rebellion", their party's
deputy secretary general said
Monday. The 47
defendants were arrested in
September 2020 as Maurice
Kamto's Movement for the
Rebirth of Cameroon (MRC) and
several other parties planned
protests against the
government of Paul Biya, in
power for nearly 40 years in
the central African
country. Police
dispersed hundreds of
protesters in the economic
capital Douala and made more
than 500 arrests across the
country. Of those, 124 remain
in detention, according to the
MRC. The military
tribunal in the capital
Yaounde sentenced 47
activists, with Kamto's
spokesman Olivier Bibou
Nissack and the party's
treasurer Alain Fogue getting
seven-year terms, Roger Noah
said. The rest were
given terms of between one and
five years. UNreal.
Inner City
Press asked Guterres,
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming and DSG
Amina J. Mohammed this: " On
Cameroon what are the comments
and actions if any of SG
Guterres and separately USG
Lacroix on that this week
3-year-old Minex Kimora was on
her way to school with her
mother in the city of Buea
when a Cameroonian gendarme
opened fire on their car,
shattering her skull, killing
the girl instantly."
Still now,
no answer. No one they let in
asked; Dujarric said grandly
he would make sure that
announcements of meetings will
be in French. And the UN
"elected" Cameroon on a
so-called clean (dirty) slate
to its UN Human Rights
Council. Today's UN is
corrupt.
This is Guterres'
genocide. Watch this site.
