UNITED NATIONS GATE, February 5-- The UN of Secretary General Antonio Guterres has refused to answer Press questions about the murder of two South Sudan civilians by a UN peacekeeper from Rwanda, and a new case of UN sexual exploitation by an international staff member from Nigeria -- nationality undisclosed by Guterres' UN - in South Sudan Now Inner City Press which asked knows more, see below. But Guterres' South Sudan rep David Shearer, in a briefing Guterres banned Inner City Press from for the 216th day, lied by omission. He was asked about the deaths of civilians, who was responsible - and said NOTHING about his peacekeepers killing two civilians. This is a new low for the UN, as was the briefing, with multiple softball questions by Agence France Presse -- "you're hogging the limelight," Shearer said -- after a first and last question given by Dujarric to his censorship partner James Bays of Al Jazeera. The only news was negative, or telling. Just like Guterres skipped the urgent UNSC meeting on Venezuela on January 26 to stay in his $15 million mansion, now Guterres will skip South Sudan on his next junket. But will he stop in Lisbon? Covered up by Dujarric and his partners: Guterres has been petitioned by the impacted community about the murder of Morris Kenyi Loburi and Legge Moses Kwatli, which he has so far covered up. Inner City Press has been obtained the petition by whistleblowers and now publishes it here, 3-page version here. Their story is heartbreaking - rather than flee to Uganda, they stayed and took work with the UN, and were killed in cold blood, after the UN also committed sexual abuse and exploitation in Wau and elsewhere. The staff member most recently accused of sexual exploitation is from Nigeria, the country of Guterres' Deputy Secretary General Amina J. Mohammed, where in another undisclosed trip she is doing political work for President Buhari right now. Their deputy spokesman Farhan Haq has refused to even acknowledge the written questions of Inner City Press, banned by Guterres and Mohammed for 205 days and counting, see below. On January 25 Inner City Press asked Guterres' deputy spokesman Farhan Haq questions including: "January 25-2: On South Sudan and the questions you have refused to answer, immediately confirm or deny that (1) the nationality of the "international" charged with sexual exploitation is Nigerian; separately (2) that the individual's name is Mr. Olayinka Adeyemi, (3) that he work(ed) for the  "Code of Conduct" Unit. Please respond to UNMISS sources saying the nationality was withheld, unlike in other cases, because he and the DSG are from Nigeria.  January 25-3: On the killing of two civilians by the UN in South Sudan, on which you have refused to answer Inner City Press' question despite Spox Dujarric on camera statement that questions would be answered, please immediately confirm that it took place at Durupi camp as they were doing UN contracted work on the fence, and state what accountability there has been, and the nationality - and separately name(s) - of the shooter(s).  January 25-4: On UN corruption and South Sudan, please immediate respond to what whistleblowers have told Inner City Press, that bringing everything in this country. Whiskey and Cigarette under SOFA agreement,” the Customs Service revealed. UNMISS General Ayii said has a sub-contractor called "Tri-Star" Company, an Indian company which has been dealing in these goods. However, he said the government would soon review the tax exemption policy regarding UN agencies in South Sudan. This comes after the institution found out that it has been losing billions of pounds to some goods imported by the UN agencies and humanitarian groups.  “I have been in Nimule as chief customs officer for 8 years, so I know any secret of any NGO in this country,” he said. He questioned the purpose for which these items are brought given the frequency of their importation into the country “How come the UNMISS brings 200 JET A1 in every month, or even Solar panels and fuel, 200 and 300 every month.”   UNMISS gave for some companies to bring items in the name of UN and nobody knows the whereabout of the items. There are stores giving the service in the UNMISS but did not go proper bidding . They are importing tax free items for the stuff but they are selling expensive more than the outside stores." No answers - Guterres and now Haq are covering up sexual exploitation, and the killing of civilians. Inner City Press has this, exclusively, from its sources in South Sudan: Mr. Olayinka Adeyemi, an international UN staff member working ironically for the "Code of Conduct" Unit has been accused of  Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and sent home to Nigeria, where DSG Amina Mohammed is righ now, until the investigation or cover up is completed. The case was being tried to be covered up since the chief of staff is from Nigeria, UNMISS staff tell Inner City Press. This unit was  established to follow up all conduct issues but surprisely, or not under thehypocritical administration of Guterres, its own staff stands accused. The Unit was working to terrorize and intimidate genuine staff member and strongly protecting managers who were found guilty. Also, the top official at the Customs Service has accused the UN mission in South Sudan  of abusing the status of forces agreement or SOFA. The SOFA was signed a month later after the independence in 2011, between the government and the UNMISS. “Since 2007, these guys are bringing everything in this country. Whiskey and Cigarette under SOFA agreement,” the Customs Service revealed. UNMISS General Ayii said has a sub-contractor called "Tri-Star" Company, an Indian company which has been dealing in these goods. However, he said the government would soon review the tax exemption policy regarding UN agencies in South Sudan. This comes after the institution found out that it has been losing billions of pounds to some goods imported by the UN agencies and humanitarian groups.  “I have been in Nimule as chief customs officer for 8 years, so I know any secret of any NGO in this country,” he said. He questioned the purpose for which these items are brought given the frequency of their importation into the country “How come the UNMISS brings 200 JET A1 in every month, or even Solar panels and fuel, 200 and 300 every month.”   UNMISS gave for some companies to bring items in the name of UN and nobody knows the whereabout of the items. There are stores giving the service in the UNMISS but did not go proper bidding . They are importing tax free items for the stuff but they are selling expensive more than the outside stores.    In another case Guterres, Mohammed, Haq and lead spokesman Stephane Dujarric have refused to answer on, sources tell Inner City PRess that the two South Sudanese nationals   were killed wrongly  while performing their duties in Durupi camp as contractors. The two gentlemen were contracted to maintain the fences and were shot and killed by UN peacekeeping - with no accountability, or even answer from Guterres and his spokesmen, who together have had Inner City Press banned from the noon briefing for 204 days while they get no questions about anything in Africa, totally corrupt. They have refused to confirm or comment on this email to DSS Peter Drennan, who Alison Smale says is responsible for Inner City Press' no due process ban for having been roughed up by Drennan's Lt Ronald E. Dobbins: "Yesterday, a circular was sent to all UNMISS security officers in South Sudan  not to communicate to UNDSS in New York. During the open meeting called by UNDSS Officials from New York   or Secretary General  on VTC, Security staff members are discouraged and blacklisted for airing their views. Is this organization  exemplary for   democracy or transparency? Security officers are not copying their messages to  their managers or supervisors   because they are dictators and abusers and incompetent to answer the questions properly.  'Dear Colleagues, It has been noted that security officers continue to  communicate directly with DSS HQ on policies and other official issues in spite of the fact that you have been advised not to do so. Worst  of all, these correspondences are done without  copying the PSA  or security management in Juba.  This is against best practices and should  be stopped.  Once again please be reminded to direct all your concerns regarding security policies and other official issues to  security management in Juba. Where it is deemed that UNDSS HQ’s input is required,  management in Juba will do so.  Kind regards     Thomas Acheampong.'" We've asked: On South Sudan and DSS, immediately confirm USG Drennan's receipt of, and response to, the complain from UNMISS staff they have been silenced and told to not speak up about their complaints, sent to Inner City Press, Drennan and Bill Miller and Wind-Andersen, Andriamampianina, Mitrokhin and Payumo at UN in the past 24 hours." Nothing at all - except another ban and camera grab by UN security on January 23. No answers at all from Drennan. We'll have more on this.  Guterres says he has a "zero tolerance" policy for sexual abuse, exploitation and harassment, and for retaliation. But when Inner City Press asked Guterres' deputy spokesman and now cover-up man Farhan Haq on 15 March 2018 about Michel Sidibé's reported threats of retaliatory investigations against those making and offering support to sexual harassment complaints at UNAIDS, Haq said this is entire a matter for UNAIDS. Earlier Inner City Press story here; exclusive publication of whistleblowers' international condemnation of retaliation and favoritism in Sidibe's UNAIDS, below. Now Haq, left in charge while Guterres and his lead spokesman Stephane Dujarric are pontificating in Davos, is refusing to provide basic, historically disclosed information about UN sexual exploitation and abuse cases - this despite Haq's road to his gatekeeper position running either through the defunct newspaper the City Sun, or being the son of UNDP economist Mahbub ul Haq. In either case, this is a new low, withholding information about a UN "international" engaging in sexual exploitation in so often mistreated South Sudan - all the more so give Haq's online connections to women's studies in the Garden State: Ethel Brooks is a professor in Rutger's Department of Women's and Gender Studies - what about covering up rapes in South Sudan? - with an interest in "Visual cultures, Artistic practice, Representation, Productivity, Camps and Encampment, Digital media and Belonging; Critical Political Economy, Transnational Networks, Social Movements, Feminist Theory, Comparative and Historical Methods, Economic Sociology, Political Sociology; Romani Studies, Central American Studies, South Asian studies, Nationalism, Post-colonialism and Critical race theory." And yet covering up rapes in South Sudan? Here's how low: on January 22, Haq promoted for-profit Amazon Prime, video here: "just to flag that tonight the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Amazon Studios will be hosting a film screening of Beautiful Boy.  That will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 23 January, in other words, tomorrow night, in the Trusteeship Council Chamber.  Actor Timothée Chalamet, author David Sheff, and producers Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner will take part in a Q&A following the screening of the film.  Beautiful Boy is based on the best‑selling memoirs from David and Nic Sheff and chronicles the experience of survival, relapse and recovery in a family coping with addiction over many years.  The film is available on Amazon Prime Video." That was inappropriate promotion of a for profit service. But it's worse: when Inner City Press which was invited by Amazon went, it was barred and its camera grabbed, here. Haq is a hack.  On 21 January 2019, the 201st day Guterres had banned Inner City Press, the UN put on its website another allegation about UN sexual exploitation, this time in South Sudan by an International with no nationality disclosed, photo here. Inner City Press asked Guterres' deputy spokesman Farhan Haq spokesman on January 22: "January 22-2: On UN Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, please immediately provide the additional if-asked information about the new case(s) in South Sudan, including stating why the nationality of the alleged perpetrator was withheld - and the long requested information about the Cameroonian peacekeepers' alleged rapes in CAR and explain why this has not been provided for eight weeks. Please now provide on the new South Sudan and 2-month old Cameroon rape cases all further if-asked information about these abuses, as for example you did when asked in person by those not banned from the previous briefing about the Nigerian peacekeeper(s)."  More than four hours later no answer at all despite lead spokesman Stephane Dujarric's on camera promise.
