UN GATE / SDNY
COURT, Jan 4 – UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres, who
tries to make up for his
financial waste, diplomatic
failure and hypocrisy after
taking the UNSG position from
the women running by handing
other jobs to women, has
tapped Zainab Bangura to head
the UNON office in Kenya.
It's
a country, beyond the
Cambridge Analytica files, of
UN holdovers: Ban Ki-moon's
son in law Sid Chatterjee as
Resident Coordinator, and now
a former UN official as head
of UNON. With all due respect,
here's from the Inner City
Press archives
name checking Zainab Bangura:
"April 11: at the
day's noon briefing, Inner
City Press asked why
Ladsous waived his
supposed April 1 deadline
to act on the rapes. Transcript

So
Inner City
Press contact
the office of
Zainab
Bangura, Ban's
expert on
sexual
violence and
conflict.
Mattias
Sundholm of
that Office,
copying Jerome
Bernard,
responded that
“I understand
that DPKO has
promised to
come back to
you regarding
Minova, so I
will refer you
to them.”
Inner
City Press
replied that
Ladsous and
his DPKO
refuse to
answer Press
question,
preferring to
dole the
answers out to
friendlier
media.
Sundholm
answered, “I
am fairly
certain that
you will hear
back from DPKO
by tomorrow.”
Inner
City Press
wrote a story,
predicting
half in jest
it thought
that Ladsous
might hand the
answer to Tim
Witcher of
Agence France
Presse, who on
March 8 filed
a UN Security
complaint
leading with
the
mis-statement
that on that
day outside
the Security
Council Inner
City Press
started
shouting and
“abusing”
Ladsous, and
that Ladsous
did not
respond.
That
was a lie.
Inner City
Press asked
which
battalions
Ladsous had
given his
ultimatum to,
and Ladsous
responded that
he was going
to the Council
to talk about
Syria.
In
any event, it
is disgusting
that AFP has
sunk so low as
to file a
complaint with
UN Security
leading off
with how
another more
investigative
media asked a
question about
these rapes of
Herve Ladsous,
the fourth
Frenchman in a
row to head UN
Peacekeeping.
But first
out of the box --
but surely not
the only once
-- is Alpha
Lapdog Louis
Charbonneau,
who as noted
went so far as
to threaten
that if the UN
did not throw
Inner City
Press out, for
articles
particularly
media critique
that it
published, he
would have no
choice but to
ask about
transferring
out of the UN
to another
beat at
Reuters.

This
threat
obviously
implicates
Reuters and
the role it
has come to
play for the
UN, like UN
Peacekeeping,
and some
Permanent
Missions like
those of the
UK and France.
But
did
Charbonneau
tell his boss
about the
threat and do
they stand
behind it?
They have been urged to
inquire into
their UN
bureau's
anti-Press
moves, in
their own
names and as
anonymous
trolls.
(This has
continued.)
Those
asked include,
so far,
Stephen J.
Adler, Editor
in Chief, Paul
Ingrassia,
Deputy Editor
in Chief,
Walden Siew,
Top News
Editor, Greg
McCune,
“Ethics,” and
one other. But
despite the
issues raised, twice now,
this mega
corporation
will not
respond or
more
importantly
reform.
The
problem, we
say and have
every right to
say, with
“articles”
like
Charbonneau's
is they let
the UN off the
hook -- for
doing nothing
during the
rapes, for
stonewalling
for months
afterward.
They ensure
that this will
happen again
and again.
They are...
part of the
problem. Watch
this site.
And still now,
from the UN
Gate, in 2020.
Guterres
must go - the
most corrupt
UNSG ever.
