UN GATE, Oct 27 –
On October 27 Inner City Press
received an invite from
UNICEF to sign into
WebEx online briefing to ask
questions to Yasmine Sherif,
Education Cannot Wait
director.
But when it did,
with questions about
Afghanistan and UNICEF
including its use of the
public's funds, and about UN
staff abandoned by Guterres ,
it was "removed by the host."
Video here.
By contrast, only
on October 26 Inner City Press
was interviewed by NBC TV in
Buffalo here.
Inner City Press
has asked for now three at UNICEF
/ ECW for an explanation, on
deadline. We'll have more on
this. For now, podcast here.
Meanwhile
Guterres pmitted his personal
financial links to UN briber
CEFC China Energy, convicted
in the SDNY court, including
by banning Inner City Press
which reported on that case
and asked UN Spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming about it.
(Neither has
answered a polite letter from
the Quinn Emanuel law firm
seeking Inner City Press'
re-accreditation and an end to
UN censorship).
This is today's
UN - and, it seems, UNICEF.
