UN GATE
/ Juba, Oct 14 – How corrupt
is today's UN under Antonio
Guterres? Consider 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 14 this,
from a UN whistleblower sent
to Inner City Press:
Dear Matthew
Russell Lee,
Reference
the decision made by UNMISS
management (led by the Chief
of Staff, Paster Leda) on
which offices to close and
which posts to cut, the
process needs to be credible
and should not leave the
mission, Top-heavy. By making
all these cuts and exempting
the high ranks have a tendency
to be scandalous.
Already, the
optics are that the decision
makers have been keen to save
their jobs and that of their
close associates as in the
case of the Chief of Staff,
Ms. Leda Limann, a list
circulating around from her
office and offices she
oversees, confirms that all
her close associates including
her God son Mr. Kwame Akoto
Danso (a married man) and his
Lover Ms. Sintija Steinite
posts will be saved. The
rumors are that, Staff without
God mothers and God fathers,
just like Orphans, are left at
the mercies of unfair
treatments.
Mr. Jean-Pierre
Lacroix,
Under-Secretary-General for
Peace Operations, is scheduled
to visit South Sudan and Abyei
from 15 to 17 October 2025. A
town hall meeting with staff
is planned for 15 October
2025.
However, many
staff members have expressed
growing frustration with such
high-level visits, describing
them as symbolic exercises
that offer little real impact.
Across the UN
system, there is a clear
sentiment of fatigue among
personnel who feel they are
working under managers who
lack competence, vision, or
even the medical and
psychological fitness to lead
effectively. See, Nicholas
Haysom
Note:
Lacroix is implicated in the
banning of the Press and
refusal to answer its
questions - worse that
Ladsous, by this time. France
must lose UN Peacekeeping, on
censorship ground alone.
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.
