SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 22 – 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.
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 on July 22
from the US, this: "The
Department of State is pleased
to announce that Ambassador
Daniel Foote, a career member
of the Senior Foreign Service,
will serve as its Special
Envoy for Haiti.
Special Envoy Foote brings
extensive diplomatic
experience to this role –
including as Deputy Chief of
Mission in Haiti and as the
U.S. Ambassador to Zambia. The
Special Envoy
will engage
with Haitian
and
international
partners."
Partners
like the UN which killed
10,000 Haitian with cholera
and then cited legal impunity,
as it does to ban the Press
asking questions?
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.
