UN GATE,
March 16 – How corrupt is
today's UN under Antonio
Guterres? Today's follow up is
yet once 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 then
AG:
Dear Mr. Matthew
Russell Lee:
Mounting concerns
over security breaches,
extremist ties, and criminal
activities within the United
Nations Mission in South Sudan
(UNMISS) have surfaced
following the hiring of Khoder
Georges Issa, a former
Lebanese military member with
alleged ties to Hezbollah.
Despite lacking IT experience,
Issa was appointed to a Field
Technology Services (FTS) role
in UNMISS through CTG, a
contractor owned by EU advisor
Claus Haugaard Sorensen, who
receives millions dollar from
UN. Sources claim
that Nicole Gerges, a former
Help Desk supervisor now based
in Central Africa, facilitated
Issa’s recruitment due to
family connections.
Additionally,
Borna and Setareh Saedi,
Iranian nationals with
reported anti-Israel biases,
are alleged to have assisted
Issa in gaining unauthorized
access to sensitive UN data.
Setareh Saedi’s advisory role
to the South African Special
Representative of the
Secretary-General (SRSG) in
UNMISS has raised questions,
with some suggesting her
anti-Israel stance may have
influenced her
appointment. Issa
was reportedly detained by
Lebanese immigration
authorities, further fueling
suspicions. Facing passport
issues, he sought to
obtain a new or forged
document.
Reports also
indicate that Issa, along with
Rana Gulnikal Genc, a Turkish
national, Borna and
Saedis Iranian nationals,
regularly met with external
individuals in a private room
at the International Committee
of the Red Cross (ICRC)
compound on weekends, for
undisclosed activities.
Issa and
Genc, a Human Rights Officer
planning to marry this year,
are accused of distributing
drugs and smoking marijuana
within the UN compound every
Friday night, violating host
country agreements. Despite
these allegations, UNMISS
reportedly rewarded Issa by
recommending Genc for a P-3
position in another
peacekeeping
mission.
Furthermore, Issa
and Genc are alleged to supply
marijuana to Gordon Wardley,
UNMISS staff member and Code
of Conduct Chief, as well as
senior officials from the
Office of Internal Oversight
Services (OIOS). The marijuana
is reportedly sourced from
Lebanese businessmen during
weekend gatherings. Due
to conflicts of interest
at the senior management
level, Issa is said to have
been shielded from
investigation
Guterres,
they say, should resign or
lose immunity - and end
censorship. His spokespeople
have refused to any all of
these questions. Watch this
