UN Hides Central African Republic Sex Abuse As Lacroix to Whisper to UNSC After Jet Flight

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Periscope
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE, Jan 12 – In the United Nations from which SG Antonio Guterres has banned Inner City Press 924 days for asking about his complicity in the killing of civilians in Cameroon and their mass imprisonment by China in Xinjiang, on June 1 French Ambassador Nicolas de Riviere (and now UNSC outgoing and Guterres super spreader trip host German Ambassador Christoph Heusgen, telling all to wear mask which his new Deputy does not) held a censored online press conference about the Security Council.

  Now on January 13 the UN Security Council at the request of colonial France, which recently flew a military jet over the country, will be briefed by Lacroix, the sixth Frenchman in a row to run UN Peacekeeping, about CAR. The UN and UNSC have become instruments to continue neo colonialism - note that the Council does not meet about the French (and Guterres) supported slaughter in Cameroon.

Nor about the rapes including of children in CAR by Lacroix' UN Peacekeepers, on which Guterres and his French spokesman Stephane Dujarric conceal evidence. Serval, servile. No second term.

 This after a French military jet fly over which colonial Guterres' representative praised: "Q: Recently, Paris ordered the overflight of the Central African capital, by two Mirages just after an interview between Emmanuel MACRON and the outgoing Central African President, Faustin-Archange TOUADÉRA. Can this assertion of power be a deterrent in the current context?
A:
The head of MINUSCA Mankeur Ndiaye: 'At the request of President TOUADÉRA, and in agreement with MINUSCA, the French President, Mr. Emmanuel MACRON ordered a mission to fly over the Central African territory by fighter planes. This mission took place on Wednesday 23 December itself and this action marks France's condemnation of the attempts to destabilize the country. This "show of force" had a significant psychological impact.'"

So Guterres' Mission "agreed" to the fly-over of a country by military attack planes of its (former?) colonial master?

  After refusing to confirm reports of troops moving to CAR, Dujarric belatedly confirmed. And what will happen where they took them from, South Sudan where UNMISS spread COVID with a bus for national staff without any social distancing, flying infected international staff in and out like Guterres, violating the rules?

And from Guterres, violating quarantine in Lisbon, these December 26 robo-platitudes: "As Central Africans prepare to take part in the general elections on 27 December, the Secretary-General calls on all stakeholders to ensure that the polls are conducted in a peaceful, inclusive and credible manner. To that end, he invites all actors to refrain from any action, including violence, hate speech and incitement to violence, that could threaten human lives and undermine the electoral process and national stability.     The Secretary-General strongly condemns attacks against civilians, humanitarians, state authority and peacekeepers, as well as candidates. He calls on national authorities to ensure accountability for election-related violence. He urges signatory parties to the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic to strictly comply with their commitments and address their concerns through peaceful means.     The Secretary-General also calls on all political stakeholders and their supporters to resolve their differences peacefully, including through dialogue and appropriate institutional mechanisms, in accordance with national laws.     The Secretary-General reiterates to the people of the Central African Republic the continued support and solidarity of the United Nations.  Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General   New York, 26 December 2020." Support like covered up child rapes with impunity? These people are criminal censors.

  And on December 24 he and Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refuses to answer this from Inner City Press: "What has the UN done and what is it doing to try to prevent violence and fraud in the elections in Central Africa Republic (and what has SG Guterres done about UN sex exploitation and abuse there)."  Still no answer - Guterres is a corrupt censor.

And now from his dubious spokesmant Dujarric, another empty statement, with Guterres stuffing his face in Lisbon: "The Secretary-General strongly condemns today’s attacks by unidentified armed combatants on Central African national defense and security forces, and the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) in Dékoa, Kémo Prefecture, and Bakouma, Mbomou Prefecture. Three peacekeepers from Burundi were killed and two others were wounded in Dékoa.     The Secretary-General expresses his deepest condolences to the families of the deceased peacekeepers, as well as to the people and Government of Burundi. He wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.    The Secretary-General recalls that attacks against United Nations peacekeepers may constitute a war crime. He calls on the Central African Republic authorities to investigate these heinous attacks and swiftly bring perpetrators to justice.    The Secretary-General reaffirms the continued commitment of the United Nations, working closely with national, regional and international partners, to support efforts to advance peace and stability in the Central African Republic.  Stephane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General." Corrupt.

The UN's actual lawless impact on CAR has yet to be addressed, as we wish people there the best despite the UN's colonial hypocrisy and failure. Watch this site. 

France left CAR without roads and with an extremely low literacy rate, while selling "Emperor" Bokassa millions of dollars of fur capes and Faberge eggs. Nothing on UN peacekeepers' rapes in CAR, including of children, just like on June 19 not a word about the cholera the UN brought, killing 10,000 Haitians.  We'll have more on this. Here was Inner City Press' video when it covered the Security Council's mid 2017 trip to Haiti, before it was roughed up by corrupt Guterres' UN Security and banned now 741 days.

  On June 1 they took questions only from pre-screened in-house correspondents, ignoring or even pretending not to see a question about Cameroon by Inner City Press. Twitter here, Periscope here.

 Neither said a word about the slaughter in Cameroon; they did not answer Inner City Press on-line question about new cases of UN sex abuse, including a child rape in South Sudan by UNMISS data dumped by the UN on June 1.

  The Program belatedly went up - with countries on which the two ambassadors ignored and censored questions: DRC, Mali, South Sudan. We'll have more on this.

  Back on February 3, before Coronavirus hit New York (but after the first cases covered up in Wuhan in December 2019) Belgian Ambassador Marc Pecsteen de Buytswerve held an in person but also friends-only press conference about his upcoming month as Security Council president, with few questions on Africa. Program of Work tweeted by Inner City Press here.

  Belgium, of course, oversaw the colonialism and killing in the Congo. Its mission to the UN,in 2018 and since, did not respond to Inner City Press' formal communications about Guterres having it roughed up and banned. Still the Mission and Ambassador pontificate about press freedom and even the safety of journalists.

  The next, such as it was, is that Jared Kushner will brief the Security Council behind closed doors on February 6 at noon, when Guterres' spokes- / hatchetman Stephane Dujarric holds his noon briefing will refusing all questions from Inner City Press despite an on camera promise.
