UN GATE, Oct 28 –
How corrupt has the UN system
become under Antonio Guterres?
Well, below is a sample
retaliation complaint about
his UN in Sudan, which has
been provided to Inner City
Press, which Guterres has had
banned for 1314 days without
providing answers.
Inner City
Press asked Guterres and
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming, and Amina
J. Mohammed, about Sudan in
writing on the morning of
October 25, along with a new
UN child rape by a
"peacekeeper" from Morocco. No
answers - totally corrupt.
At the UN's
lame noon briefing, Guterres'
SRSG Volker Perthes said he
could not speak to the impact
in Darfur.
And the UN
Security Council under Kenya,
which followed Guterres in
censorship, has done nothing,
issuing happy-talk from Mali
and Niger. It said it *might*
speak Tuesday.
On Tuesday
October 26 at 3 pm, on the way
into a typically closed
meeting of the Security
Council, UK Ambassador Barbara
Woodward who refused all Inner
City Press questions on
Cameroon and Nigeria and
everything else as UNSC
president, told
handpicked scribes what a
great job on Sudan the UN has
been doing. Really?
On October 28,
this: "Security Council Press
Statement on
Sudan The
members of the Security
Council expressed serious
concern about the military
takeover in Sudan on 25
October, the suspension of
some transitional
institutions, the declaration
of a state of emergency, and
the detention of Prime
Minister Abdalla Hamdok, as
well as other civilian members
of the transitional
government.
The members of the Security
Council called for the
immediate release of all those
who have been detained by the
military authorities, and in
this regard, took note of the
reported return of Prime
Minister Hamdok to his
residence. They also called
upon all parties to exercise
the utmost restraint, refrain
from the use of violence and
emphasised the importance of
full respect for human rights,
including the right to
peaceful assembly and freedom
of expression."
Yeah, freedom of
expression - while the UN
"removes" Inner City Press
from a UNICEF briefing on
Afghanistan it was invited to.
Total corruption.
From the UN in
Sudan, Inner City Press
published this: "Please
provide the name and position
of the person(s) who has
committed the alleged act(s)
of
retaliation: Mr.
Mateen Shaheen; Deputy
Representative UNFPA CO,
Sudan; email:
shaheen@unfpa.org Mr.
Massimo Diana; Representative
UNFPA CO, Sudan; email:
diana@unfpa.org
II. Protected
Activity: Did you
report misconduct? To whom and
when (date) did you make your
report of misconduct?
Yes, to the Executive Director
on May 24th. 2021
What misconduct
did you report?
3. Discrimination
and nepotism; specifically,
un-unified methods of
recruitment, including 12
new positions were not
opened internally following
procedure’ referring to ‘fast
track recruitments’ in order
to not extend contracts
of national staff in the Sudan
CO in favour of bringing in
staff who have served
with senior management
in former duty stations. As
evidence, in the last six
months, six new positions
have been recruited and
filled by staff from Syria,
the former duty station of the
Representative. Further,
positions have also been
filled through personal
relations such as bringing on
board the wife of the
1 Representative’s
friends in Khartoum into the
Youth Program without
transparency or clarity on
roles and
responsibility.
V.
History: Who else
besides the Ethics Office have
you contacted for
assistance? No
other parties and/or bodies
have been contacted for
assistance."

Press, along with additional
confidential information.
