SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 11 – In Haiti, hold-over
president Jovenel Moises was
assassinated. The Dominican
Republic ordered its border
with the country closed, and
mercenaries have been
arrested.
In the
United Nations, which ran a
large "peacekeeping" mission
in Haiti which beyond failing
brought in cholera and killed
10,000 Haitians, while
refusing to compensate any of
the impoverished families who
lost their bread-winners,
there have been belated
statements of
concern.
Now it is
reported that the
post-assassination government
"sent a letter to the UN
requesting assistance, UN
Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq
said Saturday." Hours later it
is clear where Haq, filling in
for the vacationing lead
spokesman Stephane Dujarric,
said this - it was not emailed
out to all press, and no
mention of UN's previous
"assistance" of cholera and
rape. We'll have more on this.
There has
been a "private" meeting of
the UN Security Council, whose
trip to Haiti Inner City Press
covered, here,
and here,
before being
banned from the UN and
its briefings by Secretary
General Antonio Guterres.
And late on July
7 from the UNSC, this: "The
members of the Security
Council expressed their
continued solidarity with the
people of Haiti." Continued
solidarity? When the UNSC did
nothing for the 10,000 killed
by the cholera the UN brought?
Most
recently, Guterres'
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Farhan Haq have refused to
answer Inner City Press'
written questions about new
cases of UN sexual abuse in
Haiti, here.
Talk is cheap.
