UN GATE,
Dec 7 – How corrupt is today's
UN under Antonio Guterres?
Consider Benin, where the UN
"Country Team" has said
nothing about the abortive
coup. Antonio Guterres'
Resident Coordinator is silent
(in South Sudan, his SRSG has
not even been in the country
for months, as UN officials
move their money out to Swiss
bank accounts, UN
whistleblowers tell Inner City
Press, see below).
Amid the
coup bid, even on December 7,
the most recently post on UN
Benin's X page is about...
cyberbullying. Their webpage,
as even Guterres lays off
lower level staff worldwide
while keeping in his cronies,
still dangles paid jobs. In
exchange for what?
In South Sudan,
where UN personnel stand
accused of child rape on which
UN spokespeople Stephane
Dujarric and Melissa Fleming
have refused all Press
questions. On October 24 this,
from a UN whistleblower sent
to Inner City Press:
Dear Matthew
Russell Lee,
After the
ring group of Aggrey,
Victoria, and Leda controlled
the staff selection process,
they were finally
compelled—following exposure
by Inner City Press—to
establish the attached Staff
Management Group (SMG) as a
committee.
There are
also credible reports that
several managers currently or
previously assigned to UNMISS
have opened personal bank
accounts in South Africa and
Switzerland. Why was this
necessary? Could it be an
attempt to evade tax scrutiny
or conceal potential financial
irregularities from their
countries?
Despite numerous
reports of misconduct and
corruption, the Office of
Internal Oversight Services
(OIOS) has failed to
investigate these matters
thoroughly appearing instead
to act as an “apple polisher”
for management, remaining in
its comfort zone rather than
confronting corruption and
illegal practices within
UNMISS.
Guterres,
they say, should end
censorship. Application was
made on June 19, 2025, here.
Still as of October 7 no
answer at all from Melissa
Fleming or Stephane Dujarric.
Totally corrupt. Watch this
site.
