SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 23 – 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 23
from US Ambassador to the UN
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who
has yet to do anything about
Guterres banning Inner City
Press and its questions, this:
"Statement by Ambassador Linda
Thomas-Greenfield on Today’s
Presidential Delegation to
Haiti
Members of the Presidential
Delegation to the funeral of
President Moïse have arrived
safely back in the United
States. Before departing, our
bipartisan delegation –
including Chairman Meeks and
Representative Fortenberry –
met with Prime Minister Henry,
Foreign Minister Joseph, SRSG
La Lime and other officials,
and underscored the commitment
of the United States to
support an inclusive and
peaceful dialogue in Haiti.
Special Envoy Daniel Foote and
U.S. Ambassador to Haiti
Michele Sison will continue to
engage with Haiti’s political
and civil society
leaders.
The people of Haiti deserve
peace, security, and a better
future." They and the world
deserve a better (or no) UN.
The "US
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.
