On Cameroon Inner City Press Asks UN Of Prison Protesters Saying To Bypass Guterres No Answer

By Matthew Russell Lee, CJR PFT NYP

UNITED NATIONS GATE, July 22 –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 July 22 Inner City Press was provided from Yaounde with video a protest in prison by people illegally detained. Inner City Press asked Guterres, his deputy Amina J. Mohammed, his vacationing (in France) spokesman Stephane Dujarric and his deputy Farhan Haq: "July 22-3: On Cameroon, after the SG took Biya's golden statue and UN Budget Committee favors, what are the comments and actions if any from him and separately DSG Amina J. Mohammed on the protests today by those Ambazonians illegally detained in Kondengui Central Prison?"

  While Haq's dying noon briefing lasted only until 12:14 pm he did not answer this or any other written question from Inner City Press, which published the video here.  Now we publish this, from the protesters' petition: "This war is stoppable by Cameroon government without the need of foreign intervention but its unlikely to happen. Deception is all they know, sooner or later they will release 100 people while simultaneously arresting additional 500 and would expect a positive reaction from families back home while keeping thousand others in jail. We call on the international community especially the USA, to listen to the voice of conscience for the sake of humanity and intervene immediately. We call on members of parliaments, senators, congressmen and women of various countries of the world especially USA, UK, and Canada. To stand up with one voice, listen to their conscience and save us. We write from the dungeon of kondengui central prison, where we’ve been dumped by the government to die, without any feeding from the government since our arrival in prison. Thanks to humanitarian organizations which have been able to secure us one square meal a day since the beginning of this crisis. We live on one square meal a day at Kondengui Central Prison and that is available only when humanitarian organizations provide them otherwise we stay without food. Since the start of this year 2019, we’ve spend approximately 3 weeks in total without food if all the days are summed up. We call on USA to bypass the United Nations who have preferred to feed victims of the crisis rather than stop the war and restore normalcy."

 Yes, the call is to bypass the UN of Guterres, who has shown himself entirely corrupt, and a censor. #DumpGuterres.

  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.
