Biya By EU Rep Gielen
Channeled By Chinese State

UNITED NATIONS
GATE, June 15 –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.
On June 13,
state
media of China
which props up
Biya and has essentially
purchased
Guterres and
the UN he runs
reported:
"YAOUNDE, June
13 (Xinhua) —
A European
Union (EU)
official on
Thursday
praised
efforts by the
Cameroonian
government to
initiate
dialogue to
end the
conflict in
the country’s
troubled
English-speaking
regions.
“We welcome
the statement
by President
(Paul) Biya
and the
declaration
that the Prime
Minister
(Joseph Dion
Ngute) made in
the regions
showing
opening for
dialogue,”
said Gerardus
Gielen, head
of the
European
External
Action Service
Central
African
Division." The EU,
which allows
Guterres to rough
up and ban the
Press right in
the UN, is
hitting a new
low with this.
Earlier
from Xinhua in
what is a
trend of
propaganda, of
the type
Guterres in the
summer of 2018
promised
to Biya's
delegation while
roughing up
and banning
Inner City
Press:
"There is a
proper
framework for
this kind of
relationship
and that is
what the
speaker has
been saying
today and
extending an
invitation to
the European
Parliament for
an information
and study
visit to
Cameroon,"
Joseph Owona,
a senior
member of
parliament
told
reporters.
We
asked, How
will or would
such a study
visit be portrayed?
Has
it involved
golden statues like
the one
Guterres took -
and refuses to
this day to
say where the golden
statue is?
Banned Inner
City Press is
asking Guterres
and his
spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric (or
Eri Kaneko)
this, in
writing: "June
11-1: On
Cameroon, what
is the SG's
comment and
action if any
on this report
from Chinese
state media:
"YAOUNDE, June
10 (Xinhua) --
Cameroon's
House Speaker
of National
Assembly
Cavaye Yeguie
Djibril on
Monday
denounced
foreign
interference
in the
country's
internal
affairs which
he referred to
as
"conspiracy."
"Cameroon has
become an
object of
conspiracy
intended to
destabilize
the country.
To justify
their
interference
in internal
affairs, the
conspirators
pretend to
denounce it."
Again, how
many offices /
desk does the
Secretariat
give to
Chinese state
media inside
the UN?"
On
June 4
Guterres' envoy
Francois Fall told
the UN
Security
Council, in French,
that Paul Biya's
government is
providing aid.
Tellingly, he
quoted
Guterres on the
territorial
integrity of
Cameroun. Now
pro Biya
media there has celebrated
Guterres' sell
out...
On June
4 France
through deputy
Anne Gueguen
said much the
same; Belgium, as
translated,
referred to
the
"management of
trans-humans."
The UK's
deputy Jonathan
Allen said the
UK shares
Guterres'
view. Maybe
that's why his
Mission
withheld
Cameroon and
Yemen
documents from
Inner City
Press, and
minister Liam
Fox bragged of
UK-based
New Age Oil's
deal with
Biya.
Inner
City Press live
tweeted
the shameful
UNSC session
and uploaded
Fall's failing
statement here.
