UNITED
NATIONS,
November 8, more
here --
While the UN
Security
Council
celebrated
itself on the
20th
anniversary of
starting the
International
Criminal
Tribunal on
Rwanda, the
FDLR has yet
to be
neutralized --
also after 20
years.
The head of UN
Peacekeeping
Herve Ladsous
had his own
role in 1994,
arguing for
the escape of
the Hutu genocidaires
into Eastern
Congo. Now,
the MONUSCO
mission's
Force Intervention
Brigade is far
from certain
to target the
FDLR on or
after January
2, 2015,
whatever the
claims.
Back in 2011
when Ladsous
was France's
last-minute
replacement
for Jerome
Bonnafont as
head of UN
Peacekeeping
and Inner City
Press reported
it, Agence
France Presse
got UN
Correspondents
Association
president
Giampaolo
Pioli to draft
a statement
against the
the Press for
it, to
ban any
dissent to the
statement,
then try
to get
Inner City
Press thrown
out of the UN.
Now Pioli
seeks to
return atop
UNCA, become
the UN's
Censorship
Alliance. Click
here for that.
Amid reports
on June 27
that the UN
flew a
sanctioned
militia leader
of the FDLR
militia on a
UN aircraft in
the Democratic
Republic of
the Congo,
Inner City
Press asked
UN spokesman
Stephane
Dujurric about
it at the UN
noon briefing
on June 27:
Inner
City
Press: why did
MONUSCO
[United
Nations
Organization
Stabilization
Mission in the
Democratic
Republic of
the Congo] fly
him to Goma to
Kisangani and
then to
Kinshasa when,
in fact, I
think there’s
an arrest
warrant for
him?
Spokesman
Dujarric:
I’m not aware
of any other
services
provided to
him by
MONUSCO.
But
it turns out
that UN
Peacekeeping
under Herve
Ladsous flew
the sanctioned
FDLR leader
from Eastern
Congo to
Kinshasa.
Rwanda
complained
about this, in
writing, on
June 26.
On July 16,
Inner City
Press asked
Rwanda's
Deputy
Permanent
Representative
what has been
Ladsous'
Department of
Peacekeeping
Operations'
response.
There has BEEN
no response -
in more than
three weeks. Video here, and embedded below.
Little more
than an hour
later, Ladsous
floated into
the Security
Council to
talk about
Central
African
Republic --
without having
answered a
written
complaint from
a Security
Council member
in more than
three weeks.
We call this:
unaccountable.
Dujarric
on June 27,
and in the
subsequent
times Inner
City Press
asked,
insisted that
not only Mary
Robinson (who
today left her
post as the
UN's Great
Lakes envoy)
but also US
envoy Russ
Feingold
requested the
waiver, and
that the FDLR
leader Gaston
Iyamuremye a/k/a
Rumuli had not
traveled to
Rome, arguing
that only that
was important.
Inner City
Press
disagrees --
why would UN
Peacekeeping
under Herve
Ladsous given his
history on
Rwanda,
representing
France in the
Security
Council in
1994
arguing for
the escape of
the
genocidaires
into Eastern
Congo, fly a
sanctioned
FDLR figure
linked to the
genocide
around?
On July
15, Haq
said
Rumuli
was escorted
from Kinshasa
back to the
east. Video
here.
Inner City
Press asked
about MONUSCO
escorting
Rumuli.
Haq said what
he had read
did not say
MONUSCO did
the escorting.
So who did?
And if not the
UN, how does
the UN know
where Rumuli
went? Watch
this site.
