UN GATE, Nov 3 –
Antonio Guterres, the UN
Secretary General who rarely
takes questions and even had
the Press which asked him
about the mass killings in
Cameroon thrown out of the UN,
rolled up in three large SUV
vehicles to the
publicly-funded mansion he
usually lives alone in, just
before the COVID-19 pandemic
spread in March Video
here,
&
YouTube
and Facebook.
In
October,
among with
questions on
Guterres'
cover up of
his links to
UN bribery
firm CEFC
China Energy,
Inner City
Press asked
him and Amina
J. Mohammed
and Melissa Fleming,
"On
Ethiopia, as
Inner City
Press asked
Oct 1 withou
answer, what
are the
comments or
actions if any
of SG Guterres
on that
Authorities in
Ethiopia’s
most populous
state Oromia
say they have
arrested more
than 500
people who
they alleged
were working
to cause
disturbances
during the
annual
Irreecha
thanksgiving
festival,
observed by
the Oromo, the
country’s
largest ethnic
group.
Oromia police
commissioner
Ararsa Merdasa
said on
Thursday that
in addition to
the
individuals, a
number of
firearms,
pistols and
hand grenades
were
seized.
The arrests
come amid
growing
concerns about
political
violence in
the
country.
Since your
non-answer,
now what are
SG Guterres'
comments and
actions if any
on that The
Ethiopian
authorities
have charged
the four
people accused
of killing
popular
musician
Hachalu
Hundeasa with
terrorism, the
Reuters news
agency
reports,
quoting a
spokesman for
the attorney
general.
Hachalu’s
death in late
June led to a
wave of
protests
during which
more than 150
people
died.
Thousands have
been arrested
in relation to
the trouble,
including
politician and
former media
mogul Jawar
Mohammed, who
himself has
been charged
with
terrorism. The
Ethiopian
Broadcasting
Corporation
says that the
suspects who
are accused of
killing
Hachalu are
believed to
have been
colluding with
others to kill
several
prominent
people." Weeks
and days
later, no answer.
Now
on November
3, through
maskless
spokeesman
Stephane
Dujarric,
this: "The
Secretary-General
expresses his
grave concern
over reports
of recent
inter-communal
violence and
attacks
targeting
civilians in
Ethiopia.
These attacks
have
reportedly
killed many
civilians and
injured
several
others.
He expresses
his deep
condolences to
the families
of the victims
and wishes
speedy
recovery to
the
injured.
The
Secretary-General
calls for the
perpetrators
to be brought
to
justice.
He appeals to
all
stakeholders
to take urgent
steps to calm
tensions in
the country
and to resolve
challenges
through an
inclusive and
peaceful
dialogue.
The
Secretary-General
reiterates the
commitment of
the United
Nations to
supporting the
Government in
its efforts
towards
ensuring a
stable and
prosperous
Ethiopia,
which will
contribute to
further
strengthening
peace and
sustainable
development in
the Horn of
Africa.
Stéphane
Dujarric,
Spokesman for
the
Secretary-General
New York, 3
November 2020."
Empty
statement,
totally
corrupt.
Guterres'
own guards
rough up and
ban the Press,
here.
On September
12,
still-banned
Inner City
Press went to
check out the
UN and Belarus
protest across
from it on
43rd Street,
where it
covered the UN
after Guterres
had it roughed
up. Sept 12
Periscope
here. Guterres
sides with
dictators -
and his
Melissa
Fleming has
not acted on
Inner City
Press'
application a
full week
previous for
access to
briefing to
cover UNGA
Week 2020.
We'll have
more on this.
As
Inner City
Press reported
on August 4 when
Haq and
Melissa
Fleming had it
removed before
it could ask a
question on
Guterres' lame
"policy
brief" on
COVID-19 and
education,
Guterres'
embargoed
video was filmed
July 23. This
shows
guilty
knowledge.
In March
at public expense his wife
Catarina Vaz Pinto was with
him, just as she was in
September 2019 in expensive
seats at the US Open tennis
tournament as Guterres - and
she? - censored the Press.
Catarina Vaz Pinto is no
longer only Lisbon's Minister
of Culture - she is now,
somewhat absurdly, the
"Minister of International
Relations" of the city. In
that role she was in Madrid,
at an event making light of
the spread of Coronavirus
which Guterres is helping
spread, while UN Spokesperson
Stephan Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming refuse all Inner City
Press questions.
