On Haiti UN Bemoans Lack of Accountability After Guterres Paid Nothing for Bring Cholera

By Matthew Russell Lee, Video here, Vine here

UN GATE, Jan 19 -- In Haiti where the UN brought cholera killing more than 10,000 people without paying a penny, ghoulishly on Oct 20 Antonio Guterres' invisible Moonie rep issued a statement as Guterres had the Press roughed up and banned now for 931 days and counting.

Now on January 18, shameless, the UN has bragged about it "a report by the Human Rights Service of the UN Integrated Office in Haiti and the UN Human Rights Office, which was released a few hours ago. The report shows a pattern of human rights violations and abuses followed by near lack of accountability" -- lack of accountability? After the UN under Guterres has paid not a penny for killing people in Haiti with the cholera that UN Peacekeeping brought? There should be no second term for Guterres.

On December 30, while Guterres had flown to Portugal for vacation thumbing his nose at New York health rules and guidance on COVID-19, the UN announces, in French only, that Sheeran is quitting, with no one paid any recompense. Translated: "On December 31, 2020, the mandate of Special Envoy for Haiti, Josette Sheeran, will end. The Secretary General is grateful...  Cholera will be officially declared eradicated in Haiti after three consecutive years without a confirmed case, in accordance with international standards of the World Health Organization." While Guterres violates WHO guidance and WHO won't answer.

   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.
