UN
Envoy Tells
ICP Truck in
Kagame Death
Rumor
Celebration
"UNacceptable"
By

UNITED
NATIONS,
January 10 --
After rumors
of the death
of Rwanda's
Paul Kagame
were shot down,
across the
border in the
Eastern Congo,
a time-stamped
photograph
was tweeted
of a UN truck
full of people
on the back,
captioned
"MONUSCO in
Goma
celebrating
the death of
Pres Paul
Kagame."
It seemed
worth asking
the UN mission
and its
chief, Martin
Kobler, to
comment on or
explain the
photograph,
and Inner City
Press sent
this, to
Kobler and
three MONUSCO
spokespeople:
"Please
comment
on / explain
this
time-stamped
photo, which
is being
described as a
UN truck
participating
in
"celebrations"
of
the rumor of
the Rwandan
president's
death. Do
you
dispute that
the photo was
taken on
January 10? To
whom is the UN
giving a ride
in this truck
/ photo? In
what context?"
After
a time, UN
envoy Kobler
replied:
"@innercitypress
Ceci apparait
de toute
évidence comme
une
utilisation
frauduleuse
d'un véhicule
de la
#Monusco.
C'est
inacceptable"
Translated:
"This appears
clearly as a
fraudulent use
of a vehicle
of the
#Monusco. This
is
unacceptable."
(Translation
not by Google,
not only
because of NSA
spying issues
but also acquiescence
in Digital
Millennium
Copyright Act
abuse by
Reuters UN bureau,

that.)
The question
is, now what
does Kobler,
or those above
him in New
York,
do?
