UN GATE, Jan 2 –
Algeria took over the UN
Security Council presidency on
January 1, 2025 - while Inner
City Press is still banned
from the UN, despite its June
19 application.
On December 30,
Inner City Press wrote to the
Algeria Mission: "This is a
timely request that you allow
Inner City Press to enter the
UN and cover, and/or provide
the WebEx pass code(s)
to access Algeria's UNSC
Presidency press briefing by
Algeria's Ambassador Amar
Bendjama on January 2, 2025 at
1 pm. I have questions to ask
on what you will do this month
about Gaza, UNRWA and Western
Sahara / MINURSO," etc
The
Algeria Mission did not
answer, even to its address
listed in the UN Blue Book.
At the lame
presser, Bendjama gave the
first question to Agence
France Presse, three online
questions to his own media
(none on Western Sahara) - it
was Spain media that asked,
and Bendjama says he's not
raising the issue this month.
But "Ahmed Attaf said Monday
that Algeria is devoting its
mandate at the UN Security
Council (UNSC) to champion
just causes, particularly the
Palestinian cause and the
issue of Western Sahara."
Hmm...

Inner City
Press on June 19, 2024 again applied
to the UN for access, as it
gives 100s, to cover the UNGA
week. Inner City Press has a
NYC Press Pass and writes
about the UN. From Algeria and
its UN Mission, nothing.
