UN GATE,
September 1 – With France
taking over presidency of the
UN Security Council on
September 1, 2022, on August
31 Inner City Press wrote to
the French Mission to the UN
to request in advance access
to its September 1 press
conference by Ambassador
Nicolas de Riviere.
Inner City
Press asked the French
Mission, and the UN, about the
MONUSCO scandal - sex for UN
Volunteer jobs paid with
taxpayers' funds - in the DRC
Congo. Inner City Press
exclusive here.
Its email to the listed
Mission spokesman Alexis
MOJAISKY came back thusly:
"I am no longer
in office in the French
Mission to the UN. Please
contact Marjolaine Brée
(marjolaine.bree@diplomatie.gouv.fr
or my successor, Alexandre
Neymann
(alexandre.neymann@diplomatie.gouv.fr),
who is taking over on Monday
29 August."
But Mr.
Neymann did not answer. And,
surprisely perhaps for a
spokesperson in 2022, he does
not appear to be on
Twitter.
Instead, a
scam press conference by
Nicolas de Riviere, with
softball questions in French
(video here)
and a final incoherence
question from a long retired
correspondent who, only this
week, literally fell asleep in
the briefing room.
This while
Inner City Press is banned
from entry, which it had for
years until it exposed UN
corruption. No response to this
appeal. Impunity.
Inner City
Press will be covering the
French presidency, quite
actively, this month. It
publish France's empty Program
of Work, here:
Yemen on September 8, South
Suden on the 15, then a long
emptiness until the 27th.
A meeting
on Ukraine September 22, no
outcome is even to be
attempted, de Riviere said. He
said that genocide in Xinjiang
is not in the "purview" of the
Security Council - but
Ethiopia / Tigray "clearly
is."
He claimed Macron
is all about Responsibility to
Protect.
Well, no press
freedom. Our requests and
questions remain; we will
publish any responses, and
also on non-responses. Watch
this site.
