UN GATE / SDNY
COURT, Nov 11 – The
United States, or at least
Secretary of State Antony
Blinken, is reaching out to
Africa, or at least three
nations.
But at the United
Nations, one of them (Kenya)
refuses to answer US-based
Inner City Press written questions
about Kenyatta's appearance in
the Pandora Papers.
Nigeria while
slaughtering used UN Deputy SG
Amina
J. Mohammed to keep the
press excluded. Senegal is
being sued for corruption
right in NYC, as covered
by Inner City Press.
The
announcement: Secretary
of State Antony J. Blinken
will visit Kenya, Nigeria, and
Senegal from November 15-20,
underscoring the depth and
breadth of our relationships
with African partners.
Secretary
Blinken will begin his trip in
Nairobi, where he will meet
with Kenyan President Uhuru
Kenyatta and Cabinet Secretary
for Foreign Affairs Ambassador
Raychelle Omamo.
Secretary
Blinken will then travel to
Abuja, where he will meet with
President Muhammadu Buhari,
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo,
and Foreign Minister Geoffrey
Onyeama and discuss furthering
cooperation on global health
security.
The
Secretary will conclude his
trip in Dakar, where he will
meet with President Macky Sall
and Foreign Minister Aïssata
Tall Sall to reaffirm the
close partnership between our
two countries. Given
President Sall’s upcoming
African Union chairmanship,
Secretary Blinken looks
forward to discussing regional
issues and shared values."
Inner City Press,
whose exclusion
from the UN by Antonio
Guterres has not been
addressed by USUN or Linda
Thomas-Greenfield, will be
covering the trip. Watch this
