Haiti UN Guterres Lies About
Resolving Sex Abuse While
Covering Up Faux Regret for
Cholera

UN
GATE, Jan 17 -- In
Haiti where
the UN brought
cholera
killing more
than 10,000
people without
paying a
penny, the
government in
June shot
at protesters
near Champs
Mars in the
capital and a
journalist, Radio
Signal FM
journalist Kény
/ Reynald
Petit Frère and
the UN said...
nothing. This
is a trend.
Inside the UN
UNSG Antonio
Guterres had
the Press
roughed up and
banned
since, now for
563 days and
counting.
Now
on January 17
inside the UN
from which he
bans the Press
Guterres made
this
misleading
statement at a
Haiti
memorial:
"Among the
many
challenges,
the United
Nations deeply
regrets the
loss of life
and suffering
caused by the
cholera
epidemic. I
welcome the
significant
progress that
has been made
towards
eliminating
the disease.
We are also
committed to
resolving
pending cases
of sexual
exploitation
and abuse."
Guterres uses
the word
regret
reflexively;
it is not a
coming clean,
much less one
with any
integrity. He
says he is
"resolving"
sex abuse
cases while he
and Stephane
Dujarric and
Melissa
Fleming cover
up all
if-asked
information
about the
accelerating
UN rapes under
his
"leadership."
Guterres is a
fraud, a
censoring
fraud. We'll
have more on
this.
On December 18
banned Inner
City Press in
writing asked
Guterres and
his
spokespeople
Stephane
Dujarric and
Melissa
Fleming, "on
UN sexual
exploitation,
what are the
belated
comments and
actions if any
of SG Guterres
on the study
that
interviewed
approximately
2,500 Haitians
about the
experiences of
local women
and girls
living in
communities
that host
peace support
operations. Of
those, 265
told stories
that featured
children
fathered by UN
personnel.
That 10% of
those
interviewed
mentioned such
children
highlights
just how
common such
stories really
are. The
narratives
reveal how
girls as young
as 11 were
sexually
abused and
impregnated by
peacekeepers
and then, as
one man put
it, “left in
misery” to
raise their
children
alone, often
because the
fathers are
repatriated
once the
pregnancy
becomes known.
Mothers such
as Marie are
then left to
raise the
children in
settings of
extreme
poverty and
disadvantage,
with most
receiving no
assistance."
Guterres,
Fleming,
Dujarric and
now Farhan Haq
are refusing
to answer
questions
about current
UN sexual
abuse cases.
They are
covering up,
and they are
complicit.
