In
Mali UN Says Peacekeeper
Killed by IED As In NY
Guterres Has Roughed Up &
Bans Critics

UN GATE, Oct
2 – The UN
Security
Council under
China's presidency
did not hold a
single publicly-viewable
briefing or
issuance of
Press Elements,
on Mali or any
other site of
a UN Peacekeeping
mission.
Then as demonstrators
calling for
President
Keita to resign were
teargassed and at
least two
killed, there
was not a word from
the Security
Council or
even for
usually
robo-tweeting
UNSG
Antonio
Guterres, Big
Tony G. Maybe
Guterres'
silence is
because he is
cheering on
the arrest of
journalists, including
Liberté TV
journalist
Hawa Kamissoko, after
he and Stephane
Dujarric has
Inner City
Press roughed
up and
banned since,

Guterres' UN
is corrupt.
Now on
October 2,
2021
the UN mission
says "A
MINUSMA
peacekeeper
died today
after his
convoy hit an
improvised
explosive
device in
Tessalit,
Kidal region,
early this
afternoon,
with four
others
seriously
injured.
The Special
Representative
of the
Secretary-General
and Head of
(MINUSMA), Mr.
El-Ghassim
WANE, strongly
condemned
these attacks:
"this incident
is a sad
reminder of
the permanent
danger that
hangs over our
peacekeepers
and of the
sacrifices
made for peace
in Mali", he
stressed.
Mr. WANE paid
tribute to the
soldier who
died in the
performance of
his mission.
He also wished
a speedy and
full recovery
to the
injured, who
have been
evacuated and
are receiving
the necessary
care. He
offered his
deepest
condolences to
the Government
of the
deceased, to
his family and
comrades-in-arms.
Mr. WANE
reaffirmed
that today's
cowardly
attack only
strengthened
MINUSMA
determination
to support
Mali and its
people in
their quest
for peace and
stability."
But at
the UN in New
York,
corrupt
Guterres
rather than
listen to
critics has them
roughed up and
banned. And where
is the court
for the UN,
when it kills
10,000 in
Haiti with
cholera, or,
right in
New York
City, roughs
up and bans
the Press, with no
hearing at
all? Guterres is
killing the
UN.
This as
Inner City
Press, which
reports on Mali
and South
Sudan for example
is excluded
by the UN
Secretariat
from getting promised
answers - for
example to
this question
it posed:
"what is the
UN's response
to the
massacre" - UN
failure.
