UN GATE, Nov 7
– Amid the slaughter of
Anglophones in Cameroon by
octogenarian strongman Paul
Biya, UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres went to
Yaounde and... took a golden
statue from Biya.
Inner City
Press, which had repeatedly
asked Guterres about Cameroon,
was soon thrown out of the UN
even as it interviewed
Cameroon's Ambassador Tommo
Monthe, then chair of the UN
Budget Committee.
Monthe bragged
that in his meetings with
Guterres, Ambazonia was never
raised, only favors in the
Budget Committee.
Now, with Inner City Press
still banned and no answer
from Guterres' Melissa
Fleming, even to a pro bono
law firm's letter, this:
"The
Secretary-General strongly
condemns the 6 November attack
against civilians in Egbekaw,
Mamfe district in the
South-West Region of Cameroon,
which reportedly led to
several people killed,
including children. Many
others were injured and
displaced, and properties were
destroyed.
The Secretary-General stresses
that attacks against civilians
are unacceptable.
He urges all Cameroonian
stakeholders to work towards a
political solution to the
crisis in the North-West and
South-West Regions of
Cameroon.
Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman
for the
Secretary-General New
York, 7 November 2023."
This cannot
legitimately be taken a face
value. And it should be
compared to Guterres' stance
on other current conflicts.
Inner City Press continues to
wait for answers, to its
questions and application for
re-entry. Watch this
