Volatile As Partners With Saudi MBS and
Censors Press

UN GATE, Nov 8 –
UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres on 27
March 2018
lavished
praise on
Saudi Crown
Prince
Mohammed bin
Salman now accused
with respect to
Jamal Khashoggi,
accepting
a $930 million
check from the
Saudis and UAE,
with not a
word of the
Saudi led
bombing
campaign that
has killed
civilians and
caused cholera
in Yemen.
While his team
still has MOU(s) with
MBS, Guterres
conceals
others
of his
financial
links. Then
he
disappeared
for three
weeks in
August, his
public
schedules entirely blank,
following by
denying Inner
City Press access
to UNGA,
below.
And now
from Guterres'
corrupt UN,
this: "The
recent
establishment
of five
Observation
Posts along
the Hudaydah
city
frontlines has
led to a
significant
reduction in
violence on
the ground.
The Head of
UNMHA and
Chair of the
Redeployment
Coordination
Committee, Lt.
Gen. (Ret.)
Abhijit Guha,
commends the
commitment of
the parties to
the work of
the Ceasefire
Enhancement
and
De-escalation
Mechanism,
which was
established in
September
onboard the
UNMHA
vessel.
However, the
past days have
witnessed
reports of
incidents
involving the
construction
of new
fortifications,
movement of
forces, and
use of drones
– all of which
are in
contravention
of ceasefire
agreements
between the
two
parties.
As the
situation in
Hudaydah
remains
volatile." Yeah,
volatile -
while Guterres takes
money not
only from El
Chapo but El
Chopper, MBS.
Disgusting.
On
September
12,
from the UN of
Antonio "Back
Door"
Guterres who
fled into a
side door to
his public
mansion to
avoid questions after
a luxury boat
cruise
on September
7,
this: "The
Secretary-General
today
announced the
appointment of
Lieutenant
General
(retired)
Abhijit Guha
of India as
the Chair of
the
Redeployment
Coordination
Committee
(RCC) and Head
of the United
Nations
Mission in
support of the
Hudaydah
Agreement
(UNMHA)
pursuant to
Security
Council
resolutions
2452 (2019)
and 2481
(2019).
Lieutenant
General
(retired) Guha
succeeds
Lieutenant
General
Michael
Lollesgaard,
who served as
RCC Chair and
Head of UNMHA
from 31
January to 31
July 2019."
On
September 1, with
Guterres still
silent and
partnering with MBS through
his Youth
Envoy and
craven UN
Correspondents
Association, here,
more
than 100
people have
reportedly
been killed in
an air strike
by the
Saudi-led
military
coalition on a
detention center
in Yemen, the
International
Committee of
the Red Cross
said Sunday.
The ICRC
rushed to the
scene in the
city of Dhamar
with medical
teams and
hundreds of
body bags.
"The location
that was hit
has been
visited by
ICRC before,"
Rauchenstein
said. We'll
have more on
this - and
this:
Past 4 pm on
Friday, August
30 the UN
issued a
denial of
accreditation
with no
reasoning
other than
that
accreditation
had previously
been revoked:
"From:
malu
<malu@un.org>
Date: Fri, Aug
30, 2019 at
4:23 PM
Subject: U.N.
eAccreditation
request for
Matthew Lee
Ref # M5413398
has been
declined
To: Inner City
Press:
Greetings
Matthew Lee
from Inner
City
Press,
Your media
accreditation
request, with
reference no:
M5413398, has
been declined
for the
following
reason: Media
accreditation
was withdrawn
on 17 August
2018."
This is
Kafka-esque,
and corrupt.
We will have
more, much
more, on this.
