Cameroon UN Resident Coordinator Blocks ICP, Pick of Next RC Should Be Public, FUNCA Says
By Matthew Russell Lee
UNITED NATIONS, March 8 – Amid the ongoing abuse of Anglophones in Cameroon, the Internet being turned off for 51 day in their regions, Inner City Press on March 8 discovered that the UN's Resident Coordinator in Cameroon, Najat Rochdi of Morocco, blocks it on Twitter, see here. This is at odds with the UN's claims to be open to the press and impacted public, and will be pursued at Rochdi's next assignment at the UN in Central African Republic. But it raises the question: how are UN Resident Coordinators selected? Inner City Press reported on Ban Ki-moon's son in law Siddharth Chatterjee getting multiple promotion under Ban, including being named UN Resident Coordinator in Kenya by Ban himself. (Inner City Press was evicted by Ban's UN, and remains restricted under Ban's successor). But shouldn't Anglophone Cameroonians have some input into the UN's next Resident Coordinator in their country? This is a project for the Free UN Coalition for Access, @FUNCA_info. Watch these sites and feeds.
Inner City Press on March 7 and March 8 asked UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres' spokesman, for the third and fourth times, about what the Political Affairs official Guterres extended to April 1, 2018, told the Press: that Francois Lonseny Fall visited the areas. Video here and here. After the March 8 briefing, the UN sent this to Inner City Press:
"Subject: Your question on Cameroon
From: UN Spokesperson - Do Not Reply
Date: Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 3:30 PM
To: matthew.lee [at] innercitypress.com
Mr. Francois Lounseny Fall and members of his team have conducted a series of visits to Cameroon to assess the situation in the Anglophone regions. Mr. Fall will continue to engage with the national authorities and monitor the situation in these regions and, in the first instance, bring any concerns to the authorities so that they may be addressed."
So have any "concerns" been raised by the UN to President Biya? We will continue on this.
