Amid Cameroon Child Death Watchlist Tells Inner City Press UNSG Should Put On List

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE / SDNY COURT, April 20 – With the Cameroon government's report on the killing of over 20 civilians including 13 children in Ngarbuh, promised on March 1 by Paul Biya who then disappeared amid COVID-19 nowhere to be seen, on April 20 Inner City Press asked Watchlist for Children and Armed Conflict about Cameroon.

  Watchlist to its credit is calling on UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to belated include the slaughter in Cameroon in his upcoming report to the UN Security Council on Children and Armed Conflict.

   But Guterres, who earlier traveled to Yaounde and took a golden statue from Biya, then by that government's own notes advised them on how to discourage press coverage of its abuses, has mostly recently claimed credit for a ceasefire in Cameroon that most there say does not exist.  

  Inner City Press asked Watchlist to evaluate Guterres' performance on Cameroon.   The response, by two of the online press conference's panelists, was that it would be "highly problematic" if Guterres does not include Cameroon in his report.

This is an issue Inner City Press will be following up on. Watch this site.

  The Watchlist press conference, and getting the Cameroon question in as one of four, was appreciated. We note that the meta-moderators from HRW insisted that priority would be given to members of the UN Correspondents Association. But only three of them had questions and UNCA did nothing when Guterres had Inner City Press thrown out of the UN on 3 July 2018 and banned since, amid its questions on Cameroon and other conflicts. We'll have more on this as well. Watch this site on that as well.
