UN GATE, Jan 18 –
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, 2020 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
months
later, no answer. Now
on January 18
from Guterres
now openly lusting
after an
UNmerited
second term,
this on G-77:
"I
congratulate
the Republic
of Guinea as
it assumes the
Chairmanship
of the Group
of 77 and
China for
2021.
I assure you
of continued
support of the
United Nations
Secretariat.
I commend
Guyana for its
expert
guidance of
the group
throughout
2020, an
unprecedented
year in the
history of our
Organization.
Our meeting in
Kunming,
China, this
year is a
vital step in
establishing a
post-2020
global
framework for
biodiversity
and stopping
the extinction
crisis." Just
Mad-Libs
canned
statements
that could
apply to any
country. Today's
UN is a
corrupt
sinkhole of
public funds.
#NoSecondTerm
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
Periscope
here. Guterres
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.
