UN GATE / SDNY,
June 3 – The UN
under Antonio Guterres cares
so little about its staff that
when one of them is kidnapped,
as Inner City Press is
informed by UN staff has
happened in Haiti, nothing is
done about it.
This
follows Guterres retaliating
against staff who complain
about his weakness on human
rights, his censorship of
critical Press, and his waste
of public money.
Guterres
has had Inner City Press
thrown out of the UN; his
Melissa Fleming won't answer
the Quinn Emanuel law firm's
pro bono letter for a dialogue
for reaccreditation, his
spokesman Stephane Dujarric
answers none of Inner City
Press' written
questions.
From within
the MINUSTAH Mission in Haiti,
this: "Hi Matthew, hope
everything is well with you.
Thank you for being the light
of the truth for us, UN
staffers in the field! We are
truly appalled that nobody is
talking about the kidnapping
of a UN staff member,
international, Security
Officer in Haiti - Oliver
Mfukululu Kwakele. He has been
kidnapped along with a UN car
on 23 May 2022 (held for
ransom), and this fact is
being well hidden. The
kidnappers are asking for
[voluntarily redacted] and the
negotiator flew in from
Colombia, although it took him
3 days. SRSG first said she
would negotiate, then they
asked for a professional
negotiator. Oliver is still
being held. I don't know why
nobody is talking about
it."
Well, we are.
