UN GATE, Nov 19 –
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 on October 22
babbled with Blinken while his
UN Appeals Tribunal concealed
collusion, below.
The IMF answered
Inner City Press on Ethiopia
here, but Guterres' UN
Spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Farhan Haq refuse to, as
does November's UNSC
President, the Mexico mission.
On November 19
another failure: a bland
statement that would have
called for release of UN staff
and expressed concern at
detentions based on ethnicity
was shot down, by Guterres'
friend (and pay-master, it
seems) China, and withdrawn by
the Irish Mission which
likewise refuses Press
questions.
Late on November
19, Guterres who continues to
ban Press and not answer its
questions whispered this: "The
Secretary General, in
coordination with African
Union mediator former
President Olusegun Obasanjo
and with President Uhuru
Kenyatta, spoke separately
with Ethiopian Prime Minister
Abiy Ahmed and with Debretsion
Gebremicheal, Chairman of the
Tigray People's Liberation
Front (TPLF), to appeal for an
end to the fighting and for
the start of a comprehensive
negotiation to solve the
ongoing crisis." Failure. This
is today's UN.
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 government.
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 1320 days
- and
@UN_Spokesperson doesn't
answer it questions, or Quinn
Emanuel letter, video here.
Today's UN is
corrupt and has not
credibility.
