In Senegal Corruption Construction Visit by UN Guterres Like Fode Seck Case in NY Diamniadio

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC-Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN NY Mag

SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 2 –  It was a huge construction project, too large - perfect for stealing money from.

Antonio Guterres stood in a hardhat surveying it. Just has the architect of the Senegal Mission to the UN in New York was having to sue Fode Seck for millions stolen from that project, imagine how much could be stolen from this "UNO House." Big Tony didn't have to imagine.  

 Kurt Wheelock had covered the Senegal corruption case in New York, and been denounced on Senxibar for it. Guterres still had him banned from any entry to the UN, trying to keep that money flowing. But here at Diamniadio it was all on display. 

And the UN Department of Global Communication under Melissa Fleming, who kept Kurt banned and refused even to answer a letter from a pro bono law firm about it, shamelessly pumped out video of Big Tony in his hard hat.

 It was like footage from the corruption construction of Las Vegas. But who would play Bugsie Siegel?

 And how in Nigeria, which Guterres had called a uniformily Muslim country, would he avoid the issue of the Anglophones and IPOB? By censorship, of course. And the lack of energy and even curiousity of the press corpse which covered the UN. Kurt did what he could, doubling down while covering the courts.
