UNITED

according to
the scheduled
Inner City
Press
and the Free
UN Coalition

today
putting online
here,
then things
get more
interesting.
The
head of state
of Morocco,

that
same first
morning, along

of Bolivia,
which has just
declared
Israel a
terrorist
state.
Thursday,
September
25 has the
head of state
of Iran,
presumbly
Hassan
Rouhani,
and then back
to back Petro
Poroshenko of
Ukraine and
President Sisi
of Egypt. That
afternoon has
for example
Robert Mugabe
of Zimbabwe
and Mahinda
Rajapaksa of
Sri Lanka, as
well as Joseph
Kabila of the
DRC and
Erdogan of
Turkey.
On
Friday,
September 26,
the head of
state of the
State of
Palestine,
Mahmood Abbas,
is on the
schedule; in
the afternoon
there's Haiti,
Venezuela,
Serbia and
Nepal.
Saturday,
deep
into the
General
Debate, Russia
and China go
back to back
represented by
ministers, as
is Security
Council member
Australia.
The afternoon
has Salva Kiir
of South Sudan
but from
Burundi, the
Vice
President.
Monday,
September
29 has the
Deputy Prime
Minister of
Syria and
ministers
from Thailand
and Bahrain.
The afternoon
has Malaysia.
The
final day,
September 30,
has the Head
of Government
of Israel and
a
minister from
Sudan in the
morning; in
the afternoon
a minister of
North Korea or
the Democratic
People
Republic of
Korea as well
as
Myanmar. And
then it's
over, or
should be.
