UN GATE, Dec 15 –
Inner City Press on 5 July
2018 was banned from entering
the UN, two day after it was
physically removed from
conducting interviews outside
meeting about the UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres' $6.7
billion budget.
Then
Guterres' Department of Global
Communication, run by Melissa
Fleming, issued a letter
banning Inner City Press from
the UN - for life. With no due
process, no right of
appeal. Guterres has put
the UN in the US Press Freedom
Tracker, here. Guterres'
Spokesman Stephane Dujarric
falsely promised on camera
that he would be answering
banned Inner City Press'
questions - but see below.
On Dec 14 after Guterres again
refused to answer but
the IMF did answer, here
(3 Dec 2020), like here,
before an amateur UN noon
briefing by quarantine
violator Stephane "French
Whine" Dujarric,
previously the face of UN lies
on cholera in Haiti, Inner
City Press submitted to deputy
Farhan Haq and tther yet
more questions (blocked by
Dujarric's screener Florencia
Soto Nino on +1
917 226 7816
and Dujarric
himself on +1
917 622 7652;
he directed
some favored
scribes to Eri
Kaneko on +1
917 208 8910,
who now blocks
Inner City
Press on
WhatsApp as
well)
including on the basis on
which it continues to be
lawlessly banned from entering
to ask questions in person.
Now also on the basis for
withholding publicly funded UN
video from the Press. There
was no answer from Farhan Haq
on +1 917 592 4591, not even a
confirmation of receipt, and
now UN official like Hua
Jiang, Eri Kaneko, now on
screen Jennifer Confilio, Adam
Smook, Marisela Rivera and
others to be named taking
public money for a UN briefing
blocking email questions about
the UN's spread of Covid 19 - May 21

Inner City Press asked:
Dec 15-1:
Immediately respond to (as you
have to date refused to) and
explain this leaked audio,
exclusively published by Inner
City Press, of OIOS' Ben
Swanson here
How can it
be that, given the impending
lockdown for COVID in NY, and
the situation in Germany, that
SG Guterres is flying there,
instead of speaking by Zoom?
When is SG Guterres scheduled
to return to NY? Will he be
going to Lisbon? Is that, as
some surmise, the goal of the
ill-considered / bad example
trip?
On Kenya and
Somaliland (and Somalia) what
are the comment and actions if
any of SG Guterres on that
Kenya will open a consulate in
the breakaway state of
Somaliland by the end of March
while Somaliland will upgrade
the status of its liaison
office in Kenya to that of a
consulate.
AGAIN, does USG
Fleming openly support and is
"relieved" by the police
shooting on Dec 13 of a
"deranged" man from The Bronx
in her neighborhoods around
112th Street and Amsterdam
Avenue? See here
Also, explain why Fleming, as
head of DCG and MALU, has not
responded or explained the ban
on entry of Inner City Press,
even by WebEx which IMF takes
its questions over? What
are the comments and actions
if any of SG Guterres on
that the Saudi
authorities are holding
hundreds of mostly Ethiopian
migrant workers in appalling
conditions
On Ethiopia and
Namibia, what are the comments
and actions if any of SG
Guterres on the statement from
the country's deputy prime
minister saying "the spouse of
a diplomat" stationed in
Ethiopia "is reported to have
murdered her two young
children and attempted to kill
the third child".
On UNIFIL, has
the UN gotten its equipment
back? What equipment was it?
What are SG Guterres' comments
and actions if any on the
report that "A mob seized
equipment from a UNIFIL convoy
in south Lebanon after
blocking its route, the UN
peacekeeping force said
Saturday... The convoy
was able to leave the village
after the army intervened,
“although the equipment was
not returned to the
peacekeepers,” the statement
added."
What are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres on that police in
Uganda have arrested Nigerian
musician Stanley Omah Didia,
popularly known as Omah Lay,
for holding an unauthorised
concert on Saturday night in
the capital, Kampala.
They also say they have
arrested a second Nigerian
musician, Temilade Openiyi,
better known as Tems... All
seven are to remain in custody
until Wednesday, News of the
arrest and charging in Uganda
of two Nigerian singers - Omah
Lay and Tems - is being shared
widely on social media with
the hashtags #FreeTems and
#FreeOmahLay.
AGAIN: On UN
sexual exploitation and abuse
- alleged - this is a request
that you immediately provide
the "if asked" information
about the caseso f child
rape and sexual exploitation
by UN "peacekeepers" from
Uruguay, Ethiopia, Senegal and
Benin and again Cameroon, in
DRC and Central African
Republic just cursorily data
dumped onto the UN website on
December 10 (Human Rights Day
and that you immediately
provide the "granular"
information that was promised
today at noon to
correspondents who barely ask
or publish about this topic.
What is being done for the
victims? On August 24 Inner
City Press re-applied for
admission to cover the UNGA
high level week; on August 30
it was summarily rejected,
with no or only Kafka-esque
reasoning. Today, as before
none of Inner City Press'
written questions, including
on Cameroon, have been
answered. This is a request
that you immediately confirm
receipt of these questions and
requests.
AGAIN on SG
Guterres' climate and UN
claims, what are his comments
and actions if any on the
GEF-funded UNDP project in
Uzbekistan which was warned
that financial information
provided by the UNDP was not
reliable and “must be
questioned”.
On Honduras, and
on deadline, what are the UN's
comments on and explanation of
a narco-plane downed in Barro
de Patuca with the sign "UN
Environment" on it? Again,
what was the read out of
Guterres' 4-person panel sent
to Honduras to back up
narco-President JOH?
On UN corruption,
what was ever done about how
UN staffer Kyoko Shiotani's
husband John van Rosendaal was
given the contract for the UN
Security Council's website?
On SG son Pedro
Guimarães e Melo De Oliveira
Guterres, explain how the
business of Explorer
Investments has been reviewed
for conflicts of interest.
Explain immediately how Pedro
Guterres doing business with
Rwanda while Antonio Guterres
was UNSG was and is not a
conflict, and what was
disclosed and to whom.
On Western Sahara
and Morocco what are the
comments and actions of any of
SG Guterres and separately the
UN Mission and non existent
Personl Envoy on that "On
Monday, November 16,
12-year-old Hayat, born
10/8/2008, was arrested while
attending classes at the
Al-Nahda school in occupied El
Aaiun and taken to the
Moroccan security
headquarters, where she was
subjected to torture
On deadline what
is the SG's (and separately
OIOS') position on the
impending promotion of Lily
Neyestani-Hailu in
UNESCO?
What are the
comments and actions of SG
Guterres on that Mr. Karkara
at UN Women sent porn from his
UN computer and harassed
interns? Again, that happened
in the UNDT processing Nov 3
of Padula, and why was Inner
City Press blocked from
covering it? What is Guterres'
comment on UN staffer
Elkorany, with a proceeding
today in SDNY? Why is Guterres
covering up, and why is Inner
City Press still banned, even
by WebEx on which the IMF
allows it to ask questions?
Immediately
state why USG Lacroix did not go see or act
on the national staff strike during his
visit to UNAMID (Inner City Press has
published the staff's complaint) and whether
Lacroix will or will not quarantine for 2
weeks now, or is being allowed to live
outside of the NY duty station unlike other
UN staff.
State whether SG Guterres, as he told FOSS,
went to Massachusetts and if so whether he
will stay there are least three days for
testing (and be tested if and when back),
under new NY rules
On Cote d'Ivoire what are the comments
and actions if any of SG Guterres on that
the authorities in Ivory Coast have accused
the opposition of plotting against the state
after it announced it was setting up a
transitional government following a disputed
presidential poll.
Immediately explain, given the Amir Dossal
was on board of Epstein's procurer Ghislaine
Maxwell's Terramar Project and Inner City
Press has repeatedly asked you each about in
writing, how Spokesman Dujarric's Oct 30 on
camera statement is not aware of any other
UN connection to Epstein, beyond IPI, was
and is not a lie and cover up.
Again, why did Guterres not list
Gulbenkian, linked to CEFC China Energy, in
his disclosure covering 2016? What are
Guterres' comments on IPI and Epstein, why
would he not say why he left the board? Why
has he not quit Club of Madrid? Why was Amir
Dossal on Board of Terramar of Ghislaine
Maxwell?
Immediately state
what the follow up has been on
this and other cases below
left murky in the OIOS
report "An investigation
revealed that a staff member
at the Office of the 69th
President of the General
Assembly had been involved in
a range of activities that
included diversion of funds,
misuse of assets and
self-dealing in the discharge
of duties. The staff member
had used their position to
advance their personal
interests and those of third
parties, received undeclared
gifts, solicited funds that
were diverted to unofficial
accounts and engaged in
unauthorized outside
activities. OIOS transmitted
its findings to the Office of
Human Resources for
appropriate action and to the
Office of Legal Affairs for
possible referral to national
authorities." Inner City
Press reported on this, and
it's now in the Uganda press,
the Monitor etc
On Cameroon,
please immediately provide SG
Guterres' comments and actions
if any on that Maurice Kamto
has been held under house
arrest for three weeks
now. Given your
failure to answer that, now on
deadline comment on the
retriation / refoulement to
Cameroon (airport shut for
this) of asylum seekers and
refugees and what the UN is
doing to ensure no torture or
worse.
On SG Guterres'
Oct 12 request / demand for $3
billion amid global cutbacks,
explain this line: $1.9
million to deliver a new
global communications strategy
for the United Nations." How
much is being contributed by
IDEA and Pierre Omidyar, as
you have refused to answer so
far? How would this money be
spend and how does it relate
to USG Fleming's ongoing ban
on Inner City Press?
On Spokesman
Dujarric's Oct 9 statement
that SG Guterres left New York
TWO times during the pandemic,
other than the belatedly
disclosed one resulting in two
weeks faux quanantine with
maskless men and Secretary
Pompeo visit, when was the
other one? Was it too follow
by two weeks in the
"Residence"? Where was it
disclosed?
Given that not
only Cunillera but Michael
Antoine are being paid by
UNTSO after the
#UNsexploitation exclusively
exposed by Inner City Press,
why have you not only refused
all of Inner City Press'
questions but also failure to
update your now inaccurate
statements about leave WITHOUT
pay?
What is the UN's response to Inner
City Press' Sept 5 application for access to
briefings to ask these and other questions (as
it was allowed to do with the IMF on September
10), receipt of which was confirmed by MALU?
How can retirees who publish nothing be
allowed in, and Inner City Press which asks
(without answer) and publishes be excluded,
and it not be censorship? Now at noon on
September 15, having been told by Brenden
Varma to "ask MALU" for access codes to ask
question of new PGA Zolkan Bozkir, given the
history of SDNY-proved corruption by John Ashe
and Sam Kutesa, among others, this is a
request to teh spokesperson's office and all
recipients for those codes, before 4:30 pm.
Cc-ing Brenden Varma.
On UN staffer
Karim Elkorany, indicted in
SDNY for lying to FBI about
drugging and raping women
while working for UN in Iraq,
immediately state what the
outcome of the victim
complaining to the UN was -
and why Elkorany was back at
liberty in New Jersey.
AGAIN -
immediately explain UN Amir
Dossal being 1 of 5 on board
of Ghislaine Maxwell's
Terramar Project, and what has
been done about it.
Immediately
provide the if-asked
information on the new SEA
charged data dumped this
morning about allegations
against South Africa
"peacekeeper" in DRC and Gabon
"peacekeeper" in CAR, and --
As Inner City Press asked each
of you on August 17 without
answer, re new 2020 UN child
rape in South Sudan case data
dumped on the afternoon of
August 17 - immediately
provide all if-asked info of
the type previously provided
under Ban Ki-moon before SG
Guterres tried to cover
everything up, and
August 5, 9 am by Italy in
Lebanon, South Africa in DRC
and an UNSPECIFIED UN civilian
CHILD RAPE in DR Congo of July
28 of Gabon in CAR and Guinea
in DRC, on top of those of
July 23, 6 pm that you
immediately provide all
if-asked / further information
about the new UN sexual
exploitation allegations in
CAR against UN "peacekeeper"
from Gabon, and in DRC by
South Africa, on top of
unanswered UNTSO driver
question and those data dumped
on June 4 after 2:30 pm - the
twelfth batch this summer so
far, no answers, UNSG
complicit
On Honduras and
COVID corruption by the Juan
Orlando Hernandez
administration, what are the
comment and actions if any of
SG Guterres on the corruption
allegations here?
And again, what is the read
out of Guterres' panel sent to
Honduras?
Immediate comments on the leaked
audio of OSSC Chediek Inner City Press
published Aug 5 on SoundCloud here
(1 of 6)
On Ghislaine Maxwell and UNEP's
Lisa Svensson, who has been exposed in SDNY
has saying the UN doesn't care about sex
trafficking, what is SG Guterres' response?
as well as on the
June 22 admission by Sri Lanka
former PR Kohona that his
country led a campaign to get
Inner City Press ousted and
banned from the UN after it
reported on mass killings in
Sri Lanka, as Inner City Press
was also doing as to Cameroon
when your UN banned it now for
834+ days. What is the appeals
process? On
deadline."
