UN GATE, June 9 –
UN peacekeepers' rapes of
those they are supposed to
protect have escalated under
current Secretary General
Antonio Guterres.
His spokesman
Stephane Dujarric refuses to
answer Press questions about
it, for example on June 8:
"June 8-1:
Immediately provide all
if-asked information on the
new UN sex abused cases
cynically data dumped June 7
at 12:02 pm, involving UN
"peacekeepers" from South
Africa, Malawi and Guatemala
including child rape, what if
anything has been done for the
victims - and why while Ban
Ki-moon provided Press with
such info, each of you has
refused, UN rape after UN
rape."
While leaving that unanswered,
on June 9 Dujarric among other
self-congratulatory press
releases said "an update from
our Peacekeeping Mission in
the Central African Republic
(MINUSCA) based in Bangui,
which announced the decision
by the Secretariat to
repatriate a unit of 60
Tanzanian military personnel,
who were deployed at a
temporary operating base in
the western part of the
country. This follows serious
allegations of sexual
exploitation and abuse against
these peacekeepers."
But what about
the many other charges, on
which Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming refuse to answer?
Those present at
the June 9 UN noon briefing
did not ask a single question
about the UN rapes. Later one
of Dujarric's state media
cronies wrote up a puff piece
to make the UN look good.
But these
are crimes, a systematic
trafficking of sex offenders
to failed states where they
continue their abuse - and
Guterres is at the top of the
pyramid, complicit.
