| US Kelly Craft Presser Has
No Q on Africa As UNSG Guterres Bans Inner
City Press 522 Days

UN GATE, Dec 6 –
With the United States holding
the presidency of the UN
Security Council for December,
Ambassador Kelly Craft held a
press conference on December
6. There were ten questions.
Not a single one was on
anything in Africa, which is
60% of the Security Council's
agenda.
This comes
after UNSG Antonio Guterres
had Inner City Press roughed
up and banned, now 522, for
asking about his failure on
Cameroon, including his UN
Budget Committee deal with
Paul Biya and his Ambassador
Tommo Monthe who chaired the
committee: silence on the
slaughter of Anglophones in
exchange for favors in the UN
Budget Committee.
Guterres
wastes taxpayers' money on
repeated flights to his real
home in Lisbon, and refuses to
disclose them or his links to
UN briber CEFC China Energy.
In the
press conference Inner City
Press was banned from, the US
Mission spokesman follow a
corrupt UN "tradition" and
automatically gave the first
question to a group which has
Chinese state media on its
board, and used its questions
to pressure Craft to help them
raise money.
Then came a
series of repetitive and lame
questions about North Korea,
an issue on which the UN will
never do anything,
particularly with Guterres in
the pocket of China and CEFC
China Energy. Nor will
Guterres do anything, or even
answer questions on, Honduras
another state exposed in the
SDNY court Inner City Press
now covers and about it would
have asked Craft. She at least
mentioned Colombia. None of
the ten UNCA questions concerned
Latin America.
A
self-described representative
of Saudi newspaper
jumped in, followed by Al
Jazeera. There was not a
single question about anything
in Africa. At least Kelly
Craft made a few mentions in
her opening statement, on
which we hope to have more. It
appears the hold-overs may
have taking Inner City Press
off the US Mission's
distribution list, while doing
nothing to date about UN
censorship of Press. We'll
have more, much more, on this.
This
happened ten hours before
another scam - the UN
Correspondents Association
with Chinese state media and
others on the board selling
access to Guterres on December
6
For now:
Dec 3 Iraq; Syria Dec 4, 11
and 19 (and Cameroon, much
less Honduras, zero). UNOCA
Dec 6; UNAMA (Afghanistan) Dec
11; Yemen Dec 12. South Sudan
December 17....
