UN GATE,
March 2 – How corrupt is
today's UN under Antonio
Guterres? Today's follow up is
yet again on his mission in
South Sudan, UNMISS, about
which his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming refuse all Press
questions. Inner City Press
has asked them, and others,
about the newest sex abuse
case against the UN there. Now
this, from a UN whistleblower
sent to Inner City Press:
Dear Mr. Matthew
Russell Lee:
The recent
statement by the Government of
South Sudan calling for UNMISS
to evacuate its compound near
Juba Airport is deeply
concerning - it is said the UN
lied and kept Radio Mireya
after independence, and now
acts as a ugly guest.
This
incident highlights a
significant oversight by the
Chief of Staff, Leda Limann,
in managing relations with the
host government. Instead of
prioritizing essential
diplomatic efforts, Ms. Limann
appears more focused on
advancing her own career from
D-2 to DSRSG, thereby
jeopardizing the mission’s
objectives and welfare of the
staff. Furthermore, Ms. Limann
has been known to undermine
capable staff supporting the
SRSG through intimidation and
attacks, reflecting her lack
of diplomatic background and
necessary job experience. Her
preference for spreading
baseless rumors about Benjamin
Bol Mei, who is married to the
president's daughter, is
particularly concerning. These
rumors, which falsely accuse
Mr. Mei of threatening to shut
down UNMISS and confiscate its
land, could seriously damage
relations with South Sudan.
It is alleged
that Ms. Limann has even
suggested that donors impose
sanctions against Mr. Mei,
portraying him as a threat to
the UN and various NGOs.
This behavior is risky, and
the Government of South Sudan
could declare persona non
grata (PNG) status against
her, similar to actions
previously taken by the Somali
government against the current
SRSG in UNMISS. It seems
possible UNMISS may close
without achieving its mandate
like Mali and Congo
Guterres,
they say, should resign or
lose immunity - and end
censorship. Watch this site.
