UN GATE, Oct 22–
When the UN belatedly
expressed concern that
Tigrayan troops in the UN
Peacekeeping Mission in South
Sudan were suddenly
"repatriated" -- the same
thing the UN does for troops
from Cameroon when they are
charged with rape in the
Central African Republic --
its Secretary General Antonio
Guterres who refuses Press
questions now on October 22
babbled with Blinken while his
UN Appeals Tribunal concealed
collusion.
on August 24,
Inner City Press - without any
recording of which it was
baselessly accused after UN
sex abuse evidence was leaked
to it by UN staff disgusted
with Guterres' cover ups -
live tweeted another UNDT
proceeding from Nairobi, about
collusion with the Ethiopian
government, here:
now a case in UN
kangaroo court in Nairobi.
UNDP Country Director Samuel
Bwalya is charged with
conspiring with minister of
Ethiopia goverment.
Bwalya's "lawyer"
Edwin had his cross
examination cut off by UNDP
representative Esther Shamash.
Then he was cut off
altogether.
Bwalya's
"lawyer" is back. UN "judge"
Rachel Sikwese immediately
rules to exclude evidence, and
questioning, in this case
about UN colluding with
Ethiopia government /
Minister. Now on next
question, UNDP's Shamash
objects. And the document is
out.
The witness, who
is being protected by UNDP's
rep and it seems the judge,
seems to be named Helina
Tadisse. But that camera is
not on. Unclear how any finder
of fact would make a judgment
about credibility.
Balwya's
lawyer: So the Minister was
very happy with the UN's work?
Witness: He was satisfied,
yes. Balwya's lawyer: In
processing the procurement
contract- Witness: I don't
recall. I don't remember.
Balwya's lawyer: You don't
remember. UNDP: Asked and
answered!
Balwya's
lawyer: If we can go into the
report, I will conclude.
Judge: We are waiting. UNDP
"counsel" - These matters are
not before the tribunal.
[Inner City Press: Like UN
claims its giving of Uighur
names to China is not in case
of Emma Reilly
Bwalya's
lawyer: Did you provide that
to the ATA? Witness: I may
have, I don't remember.
Bwalya's lawyer: That doesn't
help me much. UNDP's "counsel"
- I'm being blindsided.
[Reference to a bundle that is
apparently not public.]
Now Judge lets
UNDP "lawyer," who reps
UNSG @AntonioGuterres ,
run the table. Guterres has
had Inner City Press banned
from UN briefing for 1249 days
- and
@UN_Spokesperson doesn't
answer it questions, or Quinn
Emanuel letter, video here.
But here's
Blinken: "Blinken spoke with
UN Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres today to discuss
topics of global importance,
including Afghanistan.
They also discussed their
shared concern over the
worsening conflict in northern
Ethiopia, including the
escalating violence and its
impact on humanitarian
operations. Secretary
Blinken expressed U.S.
appreciation for the
Secretary-General’s efforts to
address the humanitarian
crisis and commended the
efforts of the UN Country Team
in Ethiopia, which continues
to work under challenging
conditions. The
Secretary and
Secretary-General Guterres
discussed opportunities to
strengthen international
collaboration to stop the
current hostilities, promote
negotiations toward a
sustainable ceasefire." Like
in Cameroon?
UN Spokesman
Stephane Dujarric has refused
all Press questions about
Ethiopia, and Cameroon, and
Guterres' son Pedro Guimarães
e Melo De Oliveira Guterres
doing business in Africa while
his father is UNSG.
Today's UN is
corrupt and has not
credibility.
