UNITED
NATIONS, April
17 -- Before
having any
Security
Council
approval, UN
Peacekeeping
chief Herve
Ladsous began
a procurement
process for
drones in West
Africa and
Central
Africa.
Even to
the concept of
UN
drones,
particularly
under the
command of
Ladsous, the
fourth
Frenchman in a
row to head UN
Peacekeeping, there was
opposition in
the “C-34”
Committee on
Peacekeeping.
But like a
drone, Ladsous
proceeded
unseen.
Finally
he
received a
Council
letter, a one
time
experimental
approval, only
for the
Democratic
Republic of
the Congo.
Inner
City Press, which first
covered the UN
drone issue
and asked
Ladsous
about it
-- after that,
he started
refusing to
answer any
Inner City
Press
questions,
including on
his memos
during the
Rwanda
genocide
--
has asked who
won the recent
DRC drone
procurement.
The UN
has
refused to
answer.
But
now there is a
drones
proposal in
the new UN
report on Cote
d'Ivoire,
cravenly
reported by
Ladsous' scribes
at Reuters,
like his cover up
of the rapes
at Minova in
the DRC,
without any of
the questions
and criticism,
which are easy
enough to find
unless like
Ladsous one
doesn't want
to hear them.
In
fact,
diplomats are
already
complaining to
Inner City
Press that
without any
approval at
all for drones
in Cote
d'Ivoire,
Ladsous'
DPKO has
slipped the
drones or UAV
issue into the
Advisory
Committee
on
Administrative
and Budgetary
Questions.
“That
should be
illegal,” one
diplomat told
Inner City
Press. But at
the UN, there
is no law. And
Ladsous has
his craven
drone-like
press. Watch
this
site.
