UN GATE, April
20, Exclusive – The UN
Security Council is failing,
and not only on Ukraine.
Even the
plumbing is corrupt, and UN
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres and his spokespeople,
rather than answering Press
questions about it, have
chosen to rough up and ban
Inner City Press.
In connection with the ouster
we published: "Dear Matthew,
There is credible information
that Kyoko Shiotani, the
ousted chief of staff of
Department of Political
Affairs head Rosemary di
Carlo, is now being
investigated by OIOS [the UN
Office of Internal Oversight
Services, which has yet to
respond to detailed complained
of abuse by UN Security and
the UNSG]. "Spared
so far is the head of DPA
Security Council Affairs
Division, Hasmik Egian, who is
Shiotani’s best friend in the
UN and owes her D2 job to her,
as well as being Shiotani’s
husband’s employer. The
one who gave the job to him on
Shiotani’s urging.
"Why has there
been no action taken against
Egian? She is as much to
blame for this as Kyoko.
So far DiCarlo has taken no
disciplinary action against
her. Meanwhile Kyoko is
telling everyone that she is
on medical leave.
Wrong. She was pushed
out by DiCarlo to control the
damage to DPA’s reputation
caused by five years of
Shiotani’s favoring of
friends, and bullying of
people she didn’t like. Keep
up the (good) work, A
concerned staff
member." There was
also the corrupt outsourcing /
sale of UNSC website, here
Now in
April 2022, Hasmik Egian is
leaving, Inner City Press

Staff say
it is related to the ongoing
corruption, which will not be
fully addressed even by these.
These people are complicit in
censorship; Inner City Press
continues to apply to be
reenter like the state media
and retirees they have in
there, to ask these questions
in person.
For now, not only
Spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Melissa Fleming, but UNSC
Presidents like the UK's
Barbara Woodward, refuse to
answer factual questions.
We'll have more on this.
