Chad Advocate Jailed For Saying Deby Is Sick While Silent Guterres Bans Press For Showing CEFC China Links

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Decrypt - LightRead - Honduras - Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 16 – Chad, like Cameroon, has an old, old ruler - and when people report accurately on his health, they get arrested. Another common denominator between the two countries and dictators? 

Also old and autocratic Antonio Guterres supports both of them, with corrupt financial links.

Chad's Deby was through Guterres' UN offered Chinese weapons in exchange for an old concession to CEFC China Energy, which tried to buy the oil company of Gulbenkian Foundation whose payment to Guterres he concealed his in disclosure. Cameroon, Guterres supports Biya's killing, for UN Budget Committee favors and a golden statute. Now this:

         The head of a human rights group in Chad is being “secretly detained” for saying on social media that President Idriss Deby Itno had been hospitalized.  The authorities confirmed that head of the Chadian Organization for Human Rights (OTDH) Baradine Berdei Targuio was being investigated in connection with “cyber crime.” But they dismissed any claims that his life was in danger.  In a statement, Amnesty said Berdei Targuio was arrested at his home in front of his wife and children by “armed and masked men” on January 24.  “He was reportedly taken to the National Security Agency,” Chad’s domestic and foreign intelligence agency, “and his family has not seen him since,” it said. Guterres roughs up and bans his critics; Chad disappears them. Both are corrupt.
