UN GATE, July 19
-- On
Western
Sahara, Inner
City Press has
repeatedly
asked UN
Secretary General
Antonio
Guterres, his
spokesmen and
now
Communications
chief Melissa
Fleming
about sexual
harassment
charges
against his representative
Colin Stewart,
which it has
exclusively
reported as
credited here
and even here.
Guterres has
repeatedly
refused to
answer, and denied
Inner City
Press access
to the UN he
lets dozens of
Moroccan
state media
into as he and
Fleming
continue
the ban on
Inner City
Press
supported by a
frivolous
complaint filed
against Inner
City Press'
coverage from
the UN
Security
Council
stakeout. So,
after the
December 2020
developments,
on
SoundCloud
this song,
here.
Now in July
2021,
Morocco has
been outed for
using NSO's
Pegasus to
hack the
iPhone of Claude
Mangin, the
French wife of
Naama Asfari,
a Saharawi
activist
working for
self-determination
in Western
Sahara who has
spent 10 years
jailed as a
political
prisoner in
Morocco.
And from
Guterres?
Silence, and
censorship.
Shameful.
On
December 26,
amid report of
abuse below,
Morocco
trolls comically
called out not
only Inner
City Press, banned
for questioning
Guterres not
only on his
support for
colonialism not
only in
Western Sahara
but also
Cameroon, CAR
and elsewhere,
but also a UN
insider, "The
Plant," Abdel Hamid
Siyam, here.
This
guy is let
into every
UN briefing, usually
only asking
about one
issue, entirely
silent on UN
ban of Press.
But the trolls
don't like his
questions
either, though
when asked
what
secret (or "closet")
meeting it
covered, they
reply
"We don't need
to remember
the facts..
Everyone knows
the story."
Yeah -
sounds
like Melissa
Fleming.
Guterres'
role in
orchestrating
colonial
lies, from
Western Sahara to Cameroon,
and censoring
and banning independent
Press and
refusing its
questions, is
decisive. Here
are just some
of the Morocco
state media
Guterres and
Melissa
Fleming let
in, and Steph
Dujarric
answers, from
the UN Censorship

exist" (also
a UN staff
member -
incredible)
There
are more, and
there will be
more. Guterres
should be
fired.
