UN South Sudan Mission Sex Scandals Now Have Names Amid Guterres UNMISS Cover Up

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

UN GATE, Oct 28 – How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Today's example in 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. A week ago, Inner City Press published this from a UN whistleblower:

"Dear Mr. Matthew Russell Lee:

 ...The Principal Coordination Officer, Director of SRSG of UNMISS has recently been ousted due to a sexual misconduct case."

Inner City Press has in writing asked some 60 people in Guterres' UN to confirm or deny the names - no answer at all. So we have receive this

"The individual who was sent home due to a sexual scandal is Boitshoko Mokgathe. The woman who accused him is Catherine Shin, a senior Political Affairs Officer. [No denial or comment from UN] Catherine Shin  filed a case against Boithshoko Mokgathe, highlighting the severe shortcomings in the mission’s management structure. This incident underscores how weak leadership has led to the mission's dysfunction, with many individuals being appointed to key roles without relevant experience, often influenced by retired brokers. and  New York connections."

There are numerous corruption cases that remain unaddressed, as UN New York  seems to prefer remaining silent. The advisors to SRSG are weak, and SRSG - Nicholas Haysom, an at time jovial man who did nothing when Inner City Press to whom he has spoken about the UN's failure in Sri Lanka was banned -- :being of advanced age, struggles to manage the office effectively."

In anticipation of the arrival from New York of Catherine Pollard [who laughed or cheered as UN Security roughed up Inner City Press throwing it out of the UN while it covered a craven Guterres speech] several officials are taking leave to avoid being questioned. 

We will have more on this.
