UNSOS Corruption

UN GATE,
March 2 – How corrupt is
today's UN under Antonio
Guterres? The follow up below
is 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:
Dear Mr. Matthew
Russell Lee:
The United
Nations Mission in South Sudan
(UNMISS) has been implicated
in the frequent and inhumane
killing of cats and dogs
within its compound, as
depicted in distressing
images...
Now this:
Dear Mr.
Lee:
Referring to your post on
animals in South Sudan.
Almost all field missions and
offices have an animal control
problem of some nature and
each pretty well has a
solution, although the
solutions are widely
different. Perhaps the
opposite to UNMIS is
UNSOS. UNSOS has in
place a humane solution for
the caring of feral
animals. The mission has
established feeding points,
there is a trap, neuter and
release program in place, all
backed up by veterinary
care. Many lower level
staff adopt feral cats as pets
and bring them into their
accommodations. Hats off.
While no
one could accuse UNSOS of
being unkind to animals, they
can be considered unkind to
member states money.
Over time the programs that
UNSOS has put in place have
costed the member states far
too many millions. Not
because this is the value of
the needed service, but
because this is another
contract payoff to local
business interest, and
something which under Director
Q is common place.
When the SG
announced funding cuts, its
largely due to the payoffs and
mismanagement across the
system that has gotten the UN
in this position. Staff who
are affected by spending
reductions need to look no
further than their leadership
to understand why.
It can be expected that these
leaders will jump ship before
things catch up to them
Guterres,
they say, should resign or
lose immunity - and end
censorship. Watch this site.
