SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 14 – In Haiti, an
earthquake hit and long after,
nothing from the UN whose
Sec-Gen Guterres was away on
an undisclosed vacation.
Now, after
Guterres presumptively
junketed to Lisbon on his way
to raise funds for the Taliban
(UN staff tell Inner City
Press), this from Haiti:
Haitian prosecutor Bed-Ford
Claude has asked
Judge Garry
Orélien
to charge Prime Minister Ariel
Henry for the July
assassination of President
Jovenel Moïse, according to a
letter written by prosecutor.
Claude wrote that there were
enough elements to order the
immediate indictment of Mr.
Henry. He also requested that
immigration authorities keep
Mr. Henry from leaving the
country.
“There are
sufficient compromising
elements…to prosecute Mr.
Henry and to demand his
outright indictment,” Mr.
Claude wrote. Mr. Claude
said the prime minister had
held two phone calls with a
key suspect in the killing,
former justice ministry
official Joseph Felix Badio,
in the hours after the
assassination. He said Mr.
Badio, who is a fugitive and
whose whereabouts is unknown,
placed the calls in the
vicinity of the assassination.
We'll have more
on this - Inner City Press'
written question on Haiti have
yet to be answer by the Irish
Mission to the UN, president
of the UNSC for September,
following Guterres and his
Melissa Fleming refusing to
answer the Quinn Emanuel law
firm's polite letter seeking
access to UNGA for Inner City
Press, as many state media and
retirees will have.
Previously,
Guterres asserted immunity for
cholera, and impunity for
roughing up and banning the
Press that asks.
The quake
occurred at about 8:30 a.m.
Saturday morning and several
aftershocks have followed.
Cities in the southern region
— including Les Cayes,
Jeremie, Saint Louis du Sud,
Aquin, Petit Trou de Nippes,
Anse-a-Veau and
Cavaillon — felt the
strongest vibrations,
according to eyewitnesses and
the United States Geological
Survey.
Now Immaculate
Conception Hospital in Les
Cayes issued a call for help
on Haitian radio station
Magik9, asking for assistance
from more doctors and nurses
to treat the injured. It is
reliably estimated that (well)
more than 700 people have been
killed. And still, at 10 am in
New York on August 15, nothing
for Guterres. Corrupt censor -
and lazy.
After hold-over
president Jovenel Moises was
assassinated, in the United
Nations, which ran a large
"peacekeeping" mission in
Haiti which beyond failing
brought in cholera and killed
10,000 Haitians, while
refusing to compensate any of
the impoverished families who
lost their bread-winners,
there have been belated
statements of
concern.
Now it is
reported that the
post-assassination government
"sent a letter to the UN
requesting assistance, UN
Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq
said Saturday." Hours later it
is clear where Haq, filling in
for the vacationing lead
spokesman Stephane Dujarric,
said this - it was not emailed
out to all press, and no
mention of UN's previous
"assistance" of cholera and
rape. We'll have more on this.
There has
been a "private" meeting of
the UN Security Council, whose
trip to Haiti Inner City Press
covered, here,
and here,
before being
banned from the UN and
its briefings by Secretary
General Antonio Guterres.
And late on July
7 from the UNSC, this: "The
members of the Security
Council expressed their
continued solidarity with the
people of Haiti." Continued
solidarity? When the UNSC did
nothing for the 10,000 killed
by the cholera the UN brought?
Most
recently, Guterres'
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Farhan Haq have refused to
answer Inner City Press'
written questions about new
cases of UN sexual abuse in
Haiti, here.
Talk is cheap.
