COURT, Jan 21 – When Antonio
Guterres wanted to get the
position of UN Secretary
General in 2006, he needed
money and political support.
He found it in long time
Angola dictator and kleptocrat
Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
Now Guterres refuses to answer
Press questions about the
Luanda Leaks scandal, and
about his close Angolan
staffer Aguinaldo Baptista's
online support for Isabel
dos Santos. Guterres had
roughed up and has banned
for 567 days and counting
Inner City Press which asks
the questions.
Guterres'
spokesman Stephane Dujarric,
who played and plays his role
in the banning, said on camera
he would answer Inner City
Press' questions, video here.
But so
far, now answer to this one:
"January 20-1: On corruption
and Angola, what are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres on the Luanda
Leaks exposure of Isabel dos
Santos of Angola, and as Inner
City Press has repeatedly
asked, what are his comments
and action on the repeated
retweeting of Isabel dos
Santos' denials by his close
staffer Aguinaldo Baptista?
After, for example, exposure
of the corrupt urban
development project near
Luanda for which some 3,000
families were driven from
their homes to make way for
the development?"
On January
21 it is added
from Mauritius that the
"spoils of the Dos Santos
clan", is according to the
ICIJ survey distributed among
400 companies in 41 countries
around the world . Almost 100
of these companies are in
controversial jurisdictions
such as Mauritius, Malta, Hong
Kong, the Netherlands,
the British
Virgin Islands
and Dubai"
- which also hosted Amr Abdul
Aziz's money laundering for OneCoin,
on which Dujarric has also
refused to answer. We'll have
more on this.
On March
17, 2016 Angolan state media reported
that "José Eduardo dos Santos
Thursday in Luanda was
informed on the process of
candidacy of António Manuel de
Oliveira Guterres to the post
of the UNSG. Antonio Guterres,
who served as Portuguese prime
minister, said he presented a
program of his candidacy for
the world body’s top
position. 'It is very
important for me to have
Angola at the very beginning
of this candidacy, as I am an
old friend and
admirer."
Dos
Santos, flush with oil money,
controlled more embassies and
strings throughout Africa than
did Guterres' Portugal.
Guterres' son Pedro Guimarães
e Melo De Oliveira Guterres'
untold business
links in Lusophone
countries include Angola.
Guterres' oil connections were
not limited to Angola: he was
getting paid by Lisbon based
Gulbenkian Foundation which in
terms was turned by oil
company Partex, with business
in Angola, that UN
briber CEFC China Energy
in turn tried to
buy.
Inner City Press asked about
this, and was roughed
up by Guterres' UN
Security and banned from
entering the UN. Guterres'
designated censor Melissa
Fleming has continued this
ban, with no appeals process.
His spokesman Stephane
Dujarric said
he would answer written
question from banned Inner
City Press.
No answers
at all, and those whom
Guterres, Melissa Fleming and
Dujarric allowed into their
noon press briefing on January
20 did not ask about
#LuandaLeaks, or anything in
Africa. It's Guterres' big
scam. And it must be ended.
