UNSG Guterres Covered For Sex Abuse Onana Now To Promote Him While Still Banning Press

By Matthew Russell Lee

UN GATE, May 12 –  Before one of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres' trips to the Central African Republic, where he covers up UN sexual abuse, Inner City Press asked him about that abuse, and about the UN's inaction on mass killings in neighboring Cameroon. Guterres purported to answer on the former, and "didn't hear" the 15-second question on Cameroon. (Then Guterres' Department of Global Communications  two days later threatened Inner City Press' accreditation, see below.)

  On October 24, 2017 once Guterres was in CAR, Inner City Press asked deputy spokesman Farhan Haq if Guterres in CAR would meet with Mr. Renner Onana, named as a bad actor in the independent panel of experts' report on its sexual abuse in CAR. Video here. On November 3, Inner City Press asked Guterres' Victims' Rights Advocate Jane Connors about the report and Onana. She never answered on Onana, and emphasized that the panel's report was not a UN report. She said her work is forward looking, apparently with nothing in it for the many victims ignored and covered up in the wake of the UN scandal involving fired whistleblower Anders Kompass and promoted coverer-up Renner Onana.

So on October 25, 2017 - still not yet thrown out of the by by Antonio "Cover Up" Guterres, Inner City Press asked Haq again, noting it had found online a photo of Renner Onana, with a promotion, greeting Fabrizio Hochschild, a main adviser to Guterres. Haq said he was still checking - this just after he'd said Guterres is working on freedom of information - and that Onana might still be employed by the UN but on leave. How hard was it to find out? Either the UN for some reason can't find out, or doesn't want to say. Because when Inner City Press asked again on October 26, still no answer. Video here. From the October 26 transcript; UN's October 27 transcript

  Now in May 2024, Onana - still getting paid taxpayers' money by Antonio Guterres, is the subject of a formal staff complaint for abuse, and Onana is reportedly about to receive yet another promotion as COS (D2) MINUSCA - in the Central African Republic where Antonio Guterres ever more effectively covers up child rapes, banning the Press that asks.
