UN GATE, Sept 1 –
Albania took over the UN
Security Council presidency on
September 1, 2023 - while
Inner City Press is still
banned from the UN, despite
its June 19 application.
On
September 1 Albanian
Ambassador Ferit Hoxha took
questions largely from state
media, hardly any mentions of
the coups in Niger and Gabon,
and the killing of anti-UN
protesters in the DRC. Video
here.
Hoxha said the UN
"needs Master Card and
Google." Cha-ching.
Inner City
Press had and has put
questions to Hoxha's Albanian
Mission about each of these,
about the failure of UN
Peacekeeping in Mali and
Antonio Guterres banning Inner
City Press.
Inner City
Press back on June 19 applied
to enter to cover the UNGA
"High Level" week that Hoxha
gushed about. We will not rest
- and even while banned, will
cover this month.
And beyond
acquiescence in censorship,
Hoxha and the Albanian Mission
are silent on UN corruption
(Guterres omitting
SDNY convicted CEFC China
Energy's link to his finance,
through Gulbenkian), and UN
rapes by peacekeepers.
Inner City
Press on June 19 applied
to the UN for access, as it
gives 100s, to cover the UNGA
week. Inner City Press has a
NYC Press Pass and writes
about the UN. From Albania and
Hoxha, nothing.
