Unanswered As Mulls DRC Junket

UN GATE, March 1
– With Mozambique taking over
presidency of the UN Security
Council on March 1, 2023, on
February 28 Inner City Press
wrote to the Mozambique
Mission to the UN to request
in advance access to its March
1 press conference by
Ambassador Pedro
Comissário Afonso.
To submit
the request, Inner City Press
wrote to the Mozambique
Mission at its UN Blue Book
address and at the UN email
addresses listed by its
purported partner - that is,
mozambique at un dot int and
mozambique dote unmission at
gmail dot com
From the
Mozambique Mission, nothing at
all. The Mission is not on
Twitter or other social media.
The Ambassador dodges a
question about a trip or
junket to DRC, and said the
UNSC's failure does not impact
its credibility. Because it's
already shot? Video here.
Inner City
Press asked the Mozambique
Mission, and the UN, about the
MONUSCO scandal - sex for UN
Volunteer jobs paid with
taxpayers' funds - in the DRC
Congo. Inner City Press
exclusive here.
Also: "On December 2, 2022 I
was told to file an appeal
with DSS and I did on December
5 - you should ensure response
(there has been none) and
granting. See here."
This while
Inner City Press is banned
from entry, which it had for
years until it exposed UN
corruption. No response to this
July 2021 appeal.
Impunity.
Inner City
Press will be covering the
Mozambique presidency, quite
actively, this month.
Our
requests and questions remain;
we will publish any responses,
and also on non-responses.
