UN GATE, Oct 26 –
In the United Nations from
which SG Antonio Guterres has
banned Inner City Press 846
days for asking about his
complicity in the killing of
civilians in Cameroon and
their mass imprisonment by
China in Xinjiang, on
September 1 Inner City Press
wrote to the Niger Mission, as
incoming UN Security Council
president, with questions
about Cameroon, Somalia and
UNsexploitation.
The email
address on the Niger Mission's
UN web page did not work; it
bounced back. A Direct Message
on Twitter to @Niger_ONU was
not answered.
And now as
the UN closes down for COVID
spread multiple sources say it
is the Niger Mission.
The
United Nations
in New York
will be closed
on October 27
as at least
five members
on a member
state's
mission have
tested
positive for
COVID-19,
letter first
tweeted by
Inner City
Press here:
"Following
information from the
Secretariat regarding five
COVID infections at a Mission
of a Member State, the advice
of the Medical Unit is to
cancel in-person meetings at
UNHQ tomorrow, Tuesday 27
October, pending contact
tracing. Accordingly, after
consulting the Main Committee
Chairs, and in light of the
need to safeguard public
health, all in-person meetings
of the Main Committees of the
General Assembly tomorrow are
cancelled."
This is
the UN whose Secretary General
Antonio Guterres, a week ago
bragged about evading
quarantine, video here.
This while his spokesman
Stephane Dujarric briefing
maskless in a windowless room,
five feet from equally
maskless correspondents from
Al Jazeera and other state
media, here.
Their UN should leave New
York.
This as Sani I.
Mahamadou, Deputy Chief of
Staff to Niger's president,
bragged online of a "Very big
day for Niger, who begins his
month of presidency of the
United Nations Security
Council." They're off to a
terrible start.
Apparently
Niger PR Abdou Abarry could
only handle questions from
pre-screened in-house
correspondents, one of whose
media has no
story by her since
2017, another with
no stories at all, at
least one - actually, more --
a repeated #MeToo violator.
Periscope here.
Niger has
not said a word about the
slaughter in Cameroon, nor
about the UN Peacekeeping
sexploitation exposed by Inner
City Press.
The
Program belatedly went up -
with countries on which Niger
ignored and censored
questions: Myanmar, Somalia,
where UNMAS sent local staff
to be killed, and Colombia and
South Sudan. There will be
Francophonie on September 8.
We have now written directly
to the Mission's 404 spokesman
- and will have more on this.
When Guterres'
spokes- / hatchetman Stephane
Dujarric holds his noon
briefings this month while
refusing all questions from
Inner City Press despite an on
camera promise.
And Indonesia? We'll report.
