UN GATE, Oct 19 –
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.
On
October 16,
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,
Stephane
Dujarric and
Melissa Fleming,
"On Guinea, in
advance of the
election what
are the
comments and
actions if any
of SG Guterres
on that
Tension is
rising in
Guinea,
following the
killing of
senior army
officer Col
Mamady
Condé.
It comes just
two days
before a
presidential
election in
which
President
Alpha Condé is
running for a
controversial
third
term.
Armed men shot
Col Condé dead
in the early
hours of
Friday at a
military camp
in Kindia,
130km (80
miles)
north-east of
the capital,
Conakry.
Residents of
the nearby
neighbourhood
heard gunshots
at 02:00 local
time and heavy
shooting
continued for
five
hours.
There were
reports of an
attempted
mutiny and
that soldiers
had seized
weapons to
free some of
their
colleagues who
had been
detained.
The minister
of defence
issued a
statement
saying that
Col Condé had
been killed.
Separately,
does the SG
join the call
for the
Internet to
NOT be cut off
or slowed,
noting wo
disruptions of
the internet
and social
media in
Guinea this
year, on March
21 and 22,
during a
constitutional
referendum
that granted
President
Alpha Condé
the ability to
run for a
third term."
Three
days later, no
answer. Just
a Mad-Libs
canned
statement that
could apply to
any country. Today's
UN is a
corrupt
sinkhole of
public funds.

Meanwhile, from
Guinea: even
the Ministry
of Security
and Civil
Protection
noted the
attack on a
vehicle of the
Special Unit
of securing
elections in Matoto.... gunfire
heard in the
morning in the
Hamdallaye
district, in
Ratoma, one of
the five
communes of
Conakry... representatives
of the parties
of the running
candidates had
not been
admitted to
several
polling
stations in
the cities.
from
Koundoura,
Siguiriou
again
Nzérékoré.
Voters have
also
complained in
places of not
having
obtained their
cards on time.
This was the
case for
Makalé Camara,
one of the two
women
candidates for
this
presidential
election, who
could not
vote: the
president of
the Front for
the National
Alliance (FAN)
indeed
appeared in
her polling
station. with
an old
card. “I
called the
president of
the Ceni to
explain to him
that I was
prevented from
voting, not
having my new
voter card. He
told me that I
was one of the
people deleted
from the
electoral
register,
”explains
Makalé Camara.
“I told him
that they did
not strike the
right person,
since there
are minors and
people without
documents who
are in this
file. "
Guinean
electoral law
then provides
for the
results to be
announced
within 72
hours of the
last official
report
received.
On Sunday
evening,
during a press
briefing at
the prime
minister's
office, Prime
Minister
Ibrahima
Kassory
Fofana, who is
also the
campaign
manager of
Alpha Condé,
called on the
candidates and
the party
staffs to
comply with
this rule .
“To proclaim
the results
before the
Ceni is to
create the
conditions for
a situation
that cannot be
controlled,”
he
warned.

as in
Cameroon, from
Antonio
Guterres.
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

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.
