UN GATE
/ Juba, Oct 24 – 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 24 this,
from a UN whistleblower sent
to Inner City Press:
Dear Matthew
Russell Lee,
After the
ring group of Aggrey,
Victoria, and Leda controlled
the staff selection process,
they were finally
compelled—following exposure
by Inner City Press—to
establish the attached Staff
Management Group (SMG) as a
committee.
Although some
members of the SMG remain weak
and easily influenced by these
rogue managers (Aggrey Kedodo,
Leda Limann, and Victoria
Browning), staff members are
nonetheless pleased to see the
formal establishment of this
group and express their
gratitude to Inner City Press
for being their voice.

While management
continues to speak of budget
cuts, it is surprising that
USG Lacroix is travelling from
New York to South Sudan when
such engagements could easily
be conducted virtually.
Meeting with the
host government does not
necessarily require the
presence of the USG
himself—other senior officials
based closer to the region
could handle the briefing to
minimize unnecessary expenses.
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 October 7 no
answer at all from Melissa
Fleming or Stephane Dujarric.
Totally corrupt. Watch this
site.
