Covid Reaches Yemen On South UN Guterres
Whispers While Covers Up Lax Policy in
South Sudan

UN GATE, April 27
– 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.
Now alongside
the first
COVID-19
case confirmed
in Yemen, Guterres
is refusing to
answer about
lax social
distancing
practices at
his mission in
South Sudan,
and now a
petition,
and even use by
UN Security
of its gym,
three people
at a time, contrary
to New
York law,

scoops here.
His UN
Secretariat is
corrupt;
here's from
the
increasingly
roguelike
(and red)
Spokesman on
April
27: "on Yemen,
the Spokesman
had the
following to
say:
“The
Secretary-General
is following
with concern
the
developments
on the ground
in southern
Yemen. He
urges all
relevant
stakeholders
to exercise
maximum
restraint and
refrain from
any actions
that would
further
escalate the
situation.
“The
Secretary-General
calls on all
to engage in
an inclusive
dialogue to
resolve their
differences
and address
the legitimate
concerns of
all Yemenis,
including
those of
southern
groups. He
further calls
on them to
implement the
Riyadh
Agreement as
well as
concentrate
efforts on
countering the
spread of
COVID-19 and
responding to
the flooding
that has
affected tens
of thousands
of
Yemenis.
“The
Secretary-General
reaffirms the
need to
preserve the
integrity of
Yemeni
institutions
and emphasizes
that the
conflict in
Yemen can only
be resolved
through a
negotiated
political
settlement.”
Stephane
Dujarric,
Spokesman for
the
Secretary-General
New York, 27
April 2020."
Corrupt. What
about the UN
Secretariat's
outrageous
lack of social
distancing in
South Sudan (UNMISS)
and hypocritical
keeping open
of gym in New
York, and banning of
and refusal to
answer the
Press? What is
the Security
Council, and
each of its 15
members, doing
about that?
Watch this
site.
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.
