UN GATE, June 30
– In the United Nations from
which SG Antonio Guterres has
banned Inner City Press 1094
days for asking about his
complicity in the killing of
civilians in Cameroon and
their mass imprisonment by
China in Xinjiang, on January
18, Inner City Press asked
Guterres and his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming questions including
"On CAR, what are SG Guterres'
comments and actions if any on
that after rejecting all
petitions filed by several
opposition candidates calling
for the cancellation of the 27
December presidential
election, the Central Africa
Republic's Constitutional
Court has declared Faustin
Archange Touadéra the winner.
But the election results have
huge legitimacy problems, with
just about 35% turnout. Most
of the 16 opposition
candidates in last month's
polls rejected the elections,
citing what they called
large-scale fraud and
insecurity.One of them, former
Prime Minister Martin Ziguélé,
said that opposition leaders
will meet on Tuesday to decide
on the next steps to take."
No answer, still
now, despite an on camera promise
to answer. Now on June 30,
from US Ambassador Linda
Thomas-Greenfield, this: "The
UN has provided evidence,
including eyewitness accounts,
detailing violence and abuses
carried out in the Central
African Republic by
mercenaries working as an arm
of Russia’s Ministry of
Defense. This includes
accounts of Russian
mercenaries killing civilians,
looting the properties of
humanitarian organizations,
and other horrific
acts.
Russia must immediately stop
the violence, hold those
responsible accountable, and
remove mercenaries endangering
UN peacekeepers and
undermining their crucial work
in support of peace and
security in the CAR.

Panel of Experts here.]
Guterres,
grabbing an UNmerited second
term, refuses to answer
questions about the Morrocan
and Gabonese peacekeepers in
CAR.
