UN GATE, Jan 2 -
The UN Security Council
presidency for January has
been taken over by Somalia's
Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman
- while Inner City Press
remains banned from the UN,
despite its June 19, 2025 application.
On
December 31 Inner City Press
wrote to the Somalia mission
seeking access to the January
2 "press" conference of
Ambassador Osman
in order to
ask questions
about his role
in Progressive
Health Care
Services and
about
Somaliland and
other UNSC
agenda
items,
notingg
"I have
also reported
on UNSOS
(recent, and
see here)
and a recent
Al Shabaab
sentencing
(Cholo Abdi
Abdullah) in
SDNY court.
And most
recently South
Sudan and
UNECA, and the
verdict
against BNP
Paribas on
Sudan."
No answer - and
question
not asked by
UN
Corrrespondents
Association

"press"
conference here
This
while UN's Media
Accreditation
and Liaison
Unit still has
not responded
to when Inner City
Press six months ago on June
19 applied
to the UN for access, as it
gives 2500 - according to the
new UN Betrayals book here,
to cover the UNGA week. Inner
City Press has a NYC Press
Pass and writes about the UN.
From Somalia and its UN
Mission, nothing.
