UN GATE, Jan 16 –
Iran has lost its vote in the
UN General Assembly by being
$16 million behind on its UN
dues. UN Security Council
member Niger has also lost its
vote, along with Central
African Republic, Republic of
Congo, Libya, South Sudan and
Zimbabwe. Photo here.
There are
the amounts due:
Central African
Republic 29 395
Congo 90 844
Iran (Islamic Republic of) 16
251 298
Libya 705 391
Niger 6 733
South Sudan 22 804
Zimbabwe 81 770
Will
another step up and pay for
them? In the UN of late there
have been two Chinese briber
scandals, with corrupt UN
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres liked to the second
briber, CEFC China Energy, and
banning Inner City Press for
asking him about it.
In the United
Nations from which Guterres
has banned Inner City Press
928 days for asking about his
complicity in the killing of
civilians in Cameroon and
their mass imprisonment by
China in Xinjiang, as well as
CEFC, on September 1, 2019
Inner City Press wrote to the
Niger Mission, as incoming UN
Security Council president,
with questions about Cameroon,
Somalia and UNsexploitation.
The email
address on the Niger Mission's
UN web page did not work; it
bounced back. A Direct Message
on Twitter to @Niger_ONU was
not answered.
This as Sani I.
Mahamadou, Deputy Chief of
Staff to Niger's president,
bragged online of a "Very big
day for Niger, who begins his
month of presidency of the
United Nations Security
Council." They're off to a
terrible start.
Apparently
Niger PR Abdou Abarry could
only handle questions from
pre-screened in-house
correspondents, one of whose
media has no
story by her since
2017, another with
no stories at all, at
least one - actually, more --
a repeated #MeToo violator.
Periscope here.
Niger has
not said a word about the
slaughter in Cameroon, nor
about the UN Peacekeeping
sexploitation exposed by Inner
City Press.
The
Program belatedly went up -
with countries on which Niger
ignored and censored
questions: Myanmar, Somalia,
where UNMAS sent local staff
to be killed, and Colombia and
South Sudan. There will be
Francophonie on September 8.
We have now written directly
to the Mission's 404 spokesman
- and will have more on this.
When Guterres'
spokes- / hatchetman Stephane
Dujarric holds his noon
briefings this month while
refusing all questions from
Inner City Press despite an on
camera promise.
And Indonesia? We'll report.
