As SG Guterres Covers Up UN Child Rapes in DRC Now Arrest of Journalist Kambidi, UN Bans Inner City Press

By Matthew Russell Lee, Video here, Vine here

UN GATE, Sept 24 -- Stephane Dujarric, the lead spokesman of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, and now Guterres' Global Communicator Melissa Fleming have joined their boss in personally covering up child rapes and sexual abuse by UN personnel, including recently a child rape by a UN "peacekeeper" from Paul Biya's Cameroon in DR Congo.

On September in the midst of  Guterres' no-vax "honor system" UNGA week from which he bans the Press, the arrest in DRC of Pierre Sosthène Kambidi. On September 20, plainclothes military officers arrested Kambidi, a correspondent for news website Actualite.cd, at the Sultani Hotel in the capital, Kinshasa. He was taken into custody and initially questioned as a witness in the case of the 2017 killing of U.N. experts Michael Sharp and Zaida Catalan in the country’s Kasai Central region, and was subsequently accused of the alleged crimes of terrorism, criminal association, and insurrection, according to the reports by Actualite and RFI. Kambidi has not been formally charged and is being held at the office of the auditor-general, an authority responsible for military justice in the country. Kambidi’s arrest was connected with the prosecutor’s desire to know how Kambidi came to possess footage of the killings of Sharp and Catalan, as well as how he knew details surrounding their deaths.

  But when Guterres issued a read-out of his meeting with DRC's president, there was no mention of this issue of the UN's sex abuse there, much less any apology: "The Secretary-General met with H.E. Mr. Félix Tshisekedi Tshilombo, President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Secretary-General congratulated President Tshisekedi for his leadership as Chairperson of the African Union and commended his efforts to advance the peace, security and development agenda in the continent. The Secretary-General and the President discussed efforts undertaken to bring about stability and prosperity in the DRC, including to address violence in the eastern provinces with the support of the United Nations, in particular MONUSCO." MON-USELESS.

  This while he and Dujarric withhold  if-asked information about the abuses that even Ban Ki-moon used to release. Under Guterres, the UN is turning into a sex trafficking conspiracy, counting on the impunity it exhibits with its no-vax UNGA super spreader event in New York. And still no answer to the polite Press access letter from the Quinn Emanuel law firm, video here.

  Even while they and OIOS Ben Swanson purport to care - and even answer questions - on the UN's cover up for Burundian and Gabon rapes in CAR in 2017, they have adopted corrupt Guterres' solution going forward: cover up the cases in advance. Rough up and ban the Press which asks, leave inside only insiders who ask why they can't use the UN escalator instead of walking one or two flights of stairs, and refuse to answer written questions. Their UN is dying - and taking young victims with it. See Tel Aviv UNTSO video first published by Inner City Press on June 23, here, and Swanson here.

  In September 2021, Guterres' UN has acknowledge receipt of Inner City Press' application for access, even simply by WebEx, to ask about the UN rapes - but has yet to rule on it. In 2019 Guterres' UN sent this out:

"From: malu malu [at] un.org
Date: Fri, Aug 30, 2019 at 4:23 PM
Subject: U.N. eAccreditation request for Matthew Lee Ref # M5413398 has been declined
To: Inner City Press:

Greetings Matthew Lee from Inner City Press,  Your media accreditation request, with reference no: M5413398, has been declined for the following reason: Media accreditation was withdrawn on 17 August 2018."

  This is Kafka-esque, and corrupt. We will have more, much more, on this.
