UN GATE, Nov 20 -- Stephane Dujarric, the lead spokesman of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, and now Guterres' Global Communicator Melissa Fleming have joined their boss in personally covering up child rapes and sexual abuse by UN personnel, including recently a child rape by a UN "peacekeeper" from Paul Biya's Cameroon in DR Congo.

  Even while they and OIOS Ben Swanson purport to care - and even answer questions - on the UN's cover up for Burundian and Gabon rapes in CAR in 2017, they have adopted corrupt Guterres' solution going forward: cover up the cases in advance. Rough up and ban the Press which asks, leave inside only insiders who ask why they can't use the UN escalator instead of walking one or two flights of stairs, and refuse to answer written questions. Their UN is dying - and taking young victims with it.

Past 4 pm on November 20 - after not responding on November 11 cases which remains the case as of this publication - the UN data dumped yet three more cases of alleged sexual exploitation by Cameroon UN "peacekeepers" in CAR. Inner City Press before 5 pm in writing asked for the if-asked information:

"On UN sexual exploitation and abuse - alleged - this is a request that you immediately provide the "if asked" information about the three November 20, after 4 pm cases of sexual exploitation in CAR by Cameroon troops, on top of the November 11 case of rape in Liberia, and by a Cameroon "military observer" in Mali, UNanswered with Inner City Press blocked from noon briefing and only 2 questions inside, the cases of sexual exploitation and rape cursorily data dumped on November 11 at 10:30 am including rapes in Liberia, sexual exploitation in Sept 2019 in CAR (all nationalities undisclosed - why?), by Cameroon in Mali and those on November 4 and on October 31 at 1:30 pm as well as previously requested without response about the child rape and sexual exploitation by UN "peacekeepers" from Cameroon and South Africa the UN cursorily disclosed on the afternoon of October 28 - about which Inner City Press did not this time immediately ask, given that each of you have refused for one week and counting to answer in any way with if-asked information about the child rape and sexual exploitation cases involving Indonesia, Mauritania and again Cameroon, in DRC and Central African Republic cursorily data dumped onto the UN website after 3 pm on October 21. Requesting again that you immediately provide the "granular" information that was promised at the noon briefing to correspondents who barely ask or publish about this topic. What is being done for the victims? Also, again, what is Guterres' answer, which you refused to provide after banned Inner City Press asked you and others in writing on the morning of August 19 that you "immediately provide all if-asked and additional information about the new allegation of SEA announced of child rape by a Cameroonian "peacekeeper" in DR Congo, and why this has been left so long UNanswered - and also why previously published charges are no longer in the data to which UN Peacekeeping Conduct and Discipline points, including what if being done for these victims and any steps taken to avoid this constant repetition of abuse despite the SG's ostensible commitments. Again, are new allegations being buried elsewhere on the data page? Inner City Press is asking in writing because banned from the noon briefings and any follow up questions, now for more than a year. On August 24 Inner City Press re-applied for admission to cover the UNGA high level week; on August 30 it was summarily rejected, with no or only Kafka-esque reasoning. This week, as before none of Inner City Press' written questions, including on Honduras and Cameroon, have been answered. This is a request that you immediately confirm receipt of these questions and requests. -Matthew Russell Lee, InnerCityPress.com." 

  Previously answers, never about Guterres' favorite Cameroon for which he is willing to have Press roughed up and banned, we have immediately published - deputy spokesman Farhan Haq responded on two, while leaving the previous dozen cases UNresponded to:

Subject: RE: Press request that you immediately provide the if-asked information about today's cases of UN rape in South Sudan and sexual exploitation in Colombia, on top of the November 11 case of rape in Liberia, and by a Cameroon "military observer" in Mali...
To: Matthew Russell Lee [at] innercitypress

  On South Sudan The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has received an allegation of sexual abuse and exploitation involving a civilian national staff.  The allegation refers to the sexual abuse of a minor that allegedly took place on unspecified date in 2019, and an exploitative relationship with a victim whose age is unknown that allegedly took place in 2018 - both victims became pregnant as a result.  The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) is investigating the allegation.The Mission offered appropriate assistance to the victims in line with the UN’s victim assistance protocols.

On Colombia  The United Nations Mission Verification Mission in Colombia (UNVMC) has received one allegation of sexual exploitation involving two civilian international staff. The allegation refers to transactional sex with an unidentified number of women on unspecified dates. The Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) is investigating the allegation.Once identified, each victim will be referred for appropriate assistance as per the UN’s victim assistance protocols." We'll have more on this.

Here's INovember 11 video of his two-question briefing by Haq that Inner City Press was banned from by Antonio Guterres.

  At 10:30 am on November 11, the UN data dumped yet more case of sexual exploitation its peacekeepers and military observers, without listing nationalities, but in CAR and by Cameroon in Mali, photo here. There's a case as recent as September 2019, and two rapes. Inner City Press has asked Guterres - most recently wasting public money, quantity undisclosed, in a tuxedo in Lisbon, and his spokesmen - for the if asked information, and for access to the noon briefing to ask. More on this to follow. These people are criminals.

 At 4:30 pm on the afternoon of November 4 the UN data dumped yet another case of sexual exploitation by a Cameroon "peacekeeper" / military observer in CAR, and by a Uruguayan peacekeeper in Haiti, while still refusing to answer questions of a child rape from October 21, and yet more cases from October 28 and October 31. Guterres' UN has become a racketeering conspiracy to cover up - and in fact facilities - child sex trafficking, sexual abuse and child rape.  On November 4 less than an hour after the cursory data dump Inner City Press sent this question to the individuals named below: "On UN sexual exploitation and abuse - alleged - this is a request that you immediately provide the "if asked" information about the case of sexual exploitation against a Cameroon UN "military observer" in CAR and a Uruguayan UN "peacekeeper" in Haiti cursorily data dumped on November 4 at 4:30 pm and those on October 31 at 1:30 pm as well as previously requested without response about the child rape and sexual exploitation by UN "peacekeepers" from Cameroon and South Africa the UN cursorily disclosed on the afternoon of October 28 - about which Inner City Press did not this time immediately ask, given that each of you have refused for one week and counting to answer in any way with if-asked information about the child rape and sexual exploitation cases involving Indonesia, Mauritania and again Cameroon, in DRC and Central African Republic cursorily data dumped onto the UN website after 3 pm on October 21. Requesting again that you immediately provide the "granular" information that was promised at the noon briefing to correspondents who barely ask or publish about this topic. What is being done for the victims? Also, again, what is Guterres' answer, which you refused to provide after banned Inner City Press asked you and others in writing on the morning of August 19 that you "immediately provide all if-asked and additional information about the new allegation of SEA announced of child rape by a Cameroonian "peacekeeper" in DR Congo, and why this has been left so long UNanswered - and also why previously published charges are no longer in the data to which UN Peacekeeping Conduct and Discipline points, including what if being done for these victims and any steps taken to avoid this constant repetition of abuse despite the SG's ostensible commitments.

This week, as before none of Inner City Press' written questions, including on Honduras and Cameroon, have been answered. This is a request that you immediately confirm receipt of these questions and requests. -Matthew Russell Lee, InnerCityPress.com"

 A similar request was sent, without response yet but their knowledge confirmed as a matter of law, on more than 10 previous cases - enough to make out a criminal conspiracy pattern to among others: ag [at] un.org, dujarric [at] un.org, haqf [at] un.org,  David Kaye, amina.mohammed [at] un.org, marialuiza.viotti [at] un.org, jiang1 [at] un.org, melissa.fleming [at] un.org, gilles.michaud [at] un.org, pozenel [at] un.org, zoe.paxton [at] un.org, peter.reid [at] un.org - the communicator brought in from McKinsey with public money while Guterres said he had no money (this was prior to taking $50,000 in presumpively El Chapo's money from Honduras government of Juan Orlando Hernandez, UNanswered.)

 No answers, despite Dujarric's previous on camera commitment / lie about answering Inner City Press' questions. Video here.

 Worse, Dujarric repeated and expanding on the lies on September 19, video here, claiming that Inner City Press is in touch with UN Media Accreditation - while Melissa Fleming has not answered a single letter and has banned the active Press - 83,000 Twitter followers and counting, covering the courts and #6ix9ine and Halkbank and OneCoin and Doe v. ICE and the Honduras narco regime Guterres also covers up for - from entering to cover the UNGA week.

   Guterres' UN sent this out:

"From: malu malu [at] un.org
Date: Fri, Aug 30, 2019 at 4:23 PM
Subject: U.N. eAccreditation request for Matthew Lee Ref # M5413398 has been declined
