| As
Vaccinated Guterres Leaves UN Staff
UNprotected An UNnecesary Death at UNESCO
By Matthew

Exclusive
UN GATE, March 2
–The UN
is corrupt and
proofs are
falling every
day like the
snow in New York,
where Antonio
Guterres is
trying to
steal a second
term. Guterres
has gotten
vaccinated
against COVID,
without any word
whether other
UN staff can do
so. ILO,
anyone?
M
Meanwhile,
On 9 February,
Inner City
Press wrote
about the
criminal
incompetence
of the DG of
UNESCO, Audrey
Azoulay and
her senior
management
team (here).
Now the
tragedy we
warned about
did occur. Mr
Faraj, a
UNESCO staff,
father of two,
passed away
yesterday,
infected by
the
coronavirus at
his workplace,
following an
insane
instruction
from his
supervisor to
work over a
weekend in
open-space
conditions.
The
maneuverings
of Azoulay and
ADG/Admin
Nicholas
Jeffreys on
how best to
escape from
accountability
in that
extremely
harmful for
their
reputation
case, started
soon after the
news about his
death.
The
risk taken by
both of them
not to care
about staff in
general,
resulted in
the loss of a
human life and
became one of
the most
insuperable
problems that
Audrey Azoulay
will have to
face in her
most probably
unique term in
office. It
will remain on
her conscience
if she has
any.
Today,
the Staff
Union sent the
following
message to all
employees:
“From: STU
Secretariat
Sent: Tuesday,
March 2, 2021
3:37:19 PM To:
Liste.UNESCO-HQ
Liste.UNESCO-FIELD
Subject:
Tribute to
Hadi
STU/69th
Council/21/008
2 March
2021
Dear
Colleagues,
It is with
immense
sadness that
we have
learned of the
demise that
took place
yesterday of
our colleague
Hadi
Faraj.
Many among us
have shared
unforgettable
moments with
him, among
others during
the
Inter-Agency
Games. We will
keep a fond
memory of him,
of his
generosity, of
his integrity,
of his
dedication to
work, of his
sense of
responsibility,
of his
kindness and
his luminous
smile. Our
thoughts go to
his family, in
particular to
his wife, our
colleague
Amina, and
their two
children. We
will bring to
them any
assistance
“that they may
need.
Cordially, The
STU
Council.”
The
message has
been sent in
the afternoon.
At the same
moment, in a
sadistic
perversion, DG
Azoulay
requested the
ADG/Admin
Nicholas
Jeffreys to
pay, during a
virtual
meeting, an
official
tribute to the
deceased
UNESCO staff
member. In
short, the
same ADG
Nicholas
Jeffreys who
took the
pernicious
decision to
expose KMI
staff to the
risks of
COVID-19
infection,
that led to
the decease of
Mr Hadi Faraj,
was designated
to speak
publicly and
pay homage to
him.
This is
another reason
that Guterres -
and Azoulay -
must go.
Our
sincere
condolences to
the family of
Mr Faraj. We
will have more
on that. Watch
this site.
