In
Mali UN Says It Repels Rebels
In Kidal As in NY Guterres Has
Roughed Up & Banned
Critics

UN GATE, June 1 –
The UN
Security
Council in the
second half of
March 2020
under China's
presidency
did not hold a
single publicly-viewable
briefing or
issuance of
Press Elements,
on Mali or any
other site of
a UN Peacekeeping
mission.
Then as demonstrators
calling for
President
Keita to resign were
teargassed and at
least two
killed, there
was not a word from
the Security
Council or
even for
usually
robo-tweeting
UNSG
Antonio
Guterres, Big
Tony G. Maybe
Guterres'
silence is
because he is
cheering on
the arrest of
journalists, including
Liberté TV
journalist
Hawa Kamissoko, after
he and Stephane
Dujarric has
Inner City
Press roughed
up and
banned since,

Guterres' UN
is corrupt.
Meanwhile
on June 1,
the UN mission
says "
MINUSMA
peacekeepers
repelled
successfully
an attack this
morning on the
UN camp in
Kidal region.
The response
of the
peacekeepers
forced the
unidentified
attackers to
flee the camp
located in
Aguelhok.
The Special
Representative
of the UN
Secretary-General
in Mali,
El-Ghassim
Wane,
condemned in
the strongest
terms the
attack, the
last of a
series of
offensives
against
peacekeepers
in the region
recently.
El-Ghassim
Wane
reaffirmed
“the
determination
of MINUSMA to
carry out its
mandate to
support the
securing and
stabilization
of
Mali.”
The Special
Representative
of the UN
Secretary-General
urged "the
people of
Aguelhok not
to give in to
the
manipulations
of those who
seek to
undermine
peace and
reconciliation
efforts.”
MINUSMA, he
reiterated,
“will continue
the
constructive
dialogue with
the people of
Aguelhok to
find solutions
to their
concerns.”
Good. But at
the UN in New
York,
corrupt
Guterres
rather than
listen to
critics has them
roughed up and
banned. And where
is the court
for the UN,
when it kills
10,000 in
Haiti with
cholera, or,
right in
New York
City, roughs
up and bans
the Press, with no
hearing at
all? Guterres is
killing the
UN.
This as
Inner City
Press, which
reports on Mali
and South
Sudan for example
is excluded
by the UN
Secretariat
from getting promised
answers - for
example to
this question
it posed:
"what is the
UN's response
to the
massacre" - UN
failure.
