UN GATE
/ Juba, Dec 21 – 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 December 21
this, from a UN whistleblower
sent to Inner City Press:
Dear Matthew
Russell Lee,
On 16 December
2025, a UNMISS locally
recruited staff member was
killed along the banks of the
Jur River, in the presence of
UN military peacekeepers.
Regrettably, the peacekeepers
were unable to protect the
staff member from the
attacker. At the time of
this tragic incident, the
Mission was operating without
the SRSG, the Chief of Staff,
and several key administrative
officials, all of whom were
reportedly away from the
Mission area.
As a result,
UNMISS peacekeeping operations
were effectively left without
senior leadership. It
has also been observed that
the Chief of Staff and certain
administrative officers have
shown reluctance or
apprehension in engaging with
South Sudanese government
officials. This points to a
serious deficit in diplomatic
competence and leadership
capacity in managing relations
with the Host
Government.
Furthermore, UN
officials in New York appear
either unaware of, or hesitant
to address, these critical
gaps in leadership,
coordination, and
accountability, thereby
allowing the situation to
persist uncorrected ....
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 December 21 no
answer at all from Melissa
Fleming or Stephane Dujarric.
Totally corrupt. Watch this
site.
