At UNSC it's a meeting about Central Africa, but with Inner City Press banned by @AntonioGuterres, no one asks any questions about Cameroon. Instead it's #Kashmir. Russia would not oppose a closed #sUNSC meeting to "reload the file." thread
@antonioguterres@silas_atefor@FUNCA_info@MatthewLeeICP@ngans15 Most UNSC meeting about UNOCA / Central Africa are open, so Inner City Press can cover them in real time even while banned by Antonio "Golden Statue" Guterres. But today's is closed door, on Guterres' report claiming "inclusive processes in #Cameroon. #corrupt
@antonioguterres@silas_atefor@FUNCA_info@MatthewLeeICP@ngans15 Now the closed door UNSC meeting on Central Africa is ending, no one says (or so far asks) anything. Looks like Amb Jonathan Cohen is *still* repping the US. Nothing said about the slaughter in Cameroon, Guterres taking Biya's golden statue
