UNITED NATIONS,
October 4 – When UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres took
five media questions on
October 4, all of them were on
climate change, and his trip
to Antigua and Barbuda. With
the UN for example refusing to
given any estimate of how many
civilians Paul Biya killed
this week in Cameroon,
Guterres' spokesman Stephane
Dujarric gave the first
question to Voice of
America (on
climate change), then AP and
SABC, then an ex-Reuters
reporter who called the US the
"elephant in the region." For
this, Dujarric canceled the
UN's noon briefing on all
other topics, while refusing
to answer the majority of
questions which Inner City
Press submits to him and his
deputy by email. Guterres
cited as a precedent the World
Bank loans to Jordan and
Lebanon. Inner City Press
previously asked him
about these, before he became
responsible for UN censorship
of the Press and cover ups in
Cameroon and elsewhere.
