On Burkina Faso US Says Do Not Travel As UN Guterres Silent As Bans Press For 511th Day

By Matthew Russell Lee, CJR Letter PFT Q&A, NY Post

UN GATE, Nov 26 As things further deteriorated in Burkina Faso on March 22 Inner City Press asked UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres' spokesman Stephane Dujarric about it in writing: "March 22-1: On Burkina Faso, what is the SG's comment and action on the execution by Burkinabe security forces of over 115 men accused of supporting or harbouring the armed Islamists?" There has still been no answer, despite that Dujarric and the UN Department of Global Communications' promises that questions would be answered. Guterres is corrupt, and he is corrupting each and every UN body.

 Now on November 26 from the US, this: "The Department of State raised the Travel Advisory Level for Burkina Faso to Level 4 – Do Not Travel on November 26, 2019.  This replaces the previous Travel Advisory issued on June 3, 2019.  The full text of the updated Travel Advisory is as follows:     Burkina Faso – Level 4: Do Not Travel                                                          T C K  Do not travel to Burkina Faso due to terrorism, crime, and kidnapping.   Country Summary: Terrorist groups continue plotting attacks in Burkina Faso. Terrorists may conduct attacks anywhere with little or no warning. Targets could include hotels, restaurants, police stations, customs offices, areas at or near mining sites, places of worship, military posts, and schools.  Kidnapping and hostage taking is a threat throughout the country.  On May 10, 2019 a hostage rescue operation freed four international hostages that had been kidnapped in Burkina Faso and in neighboring Benin.     The Government of Burkina Faso has maintained a state of emergency in the entire East and Sahel regions, the provinces of Kossi and Sourou in the Boucle de Mouhoun region, the province of Kenedougou in the Hauts Bassins region, the province of Loroum in the North region, and the province of Koulpelogo in the Center-East region.  The U.S. government is unable to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens throughout most of the country, as U.S. government personnel are restricted from travelling to regions outside the capitol due to security concerns. The U.S. Embassy prohibits U.S. government personnel from personal travel to the Karpala, Balkiui and Rayongo (also known as Dayongo) neighborhoods of Ouagadougou’s Arrondissement 11 due to the potential for security operations.  On November 26, 2019, the Department ordered the departure of all minor family members of U.S. government employees, and the voluntary departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members."

Previously asked of Guterres' corrupt UN: April 4-2: On UN bribery and censorship, what now is the SG's comment and response to the April 3 article in Serbia about CEFC which Mr Guterres has refused to audit - and about his refusal to answer, and censorship of Press "Gutereš had and had his own financial link with the CEFC, through the Gulbenkian Foundation. On the orders of Guteres, on June 22 and July 3, 2018, the security came to me, and I was banned from reporting from the UN. In fact, Gutereš took advantage of his security from the UN to distance me from his speech at the Park East Synagogue, and recently physically stopped me while he entered the mosque in 96th Street"  and now this...
