UN Crocodile Tears on Central African Republic From SG Guterres Who Covers Up Rapes and Bans Press

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Periscope
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE, July 13 – In the United Nations from which SG Antonio Guterres has banned Inner City Press 741 days for asking about his complicity in the killing of civilians in Cameroon and their mass imprisonment by China in Xinjiang, on June 1 French Ambassador Nicolas de Riviere (and July's president German Ambassador Christoph Heusgen, telling all to wear mask which his new Deputy does not) held a censored online press conference about the coming month(s) in the Security Council.

  Now on July 13, with Guterres and France still silent on its ally Cameroon killing journalist Sam Wazizi (French UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric de la Riviere won't even take the questions, including about his role in working with Sri Lanka war criminal Palitha Kohona and UNCA to oust Inner City Press, story here, Kohona here), this was put out by Dujarric on Central African Republic: "The Secretary-General strongly condemns today’s attack by alleged Return, Reclamation and Rehabilitation (3R) armed elements on a United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) convoy in Gedze, Nana-Mambere prefecture in the northwest of the country.  A peacekeeper from Rwanda was killed and two others were wounded.      The Secretary-General expresses his deepest condolences to the family of the victim as well as to the people and Government of Rwanda. He wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.     The Secretary-General recalls that attacks against United Nations peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law. He calls on the Central African Republic authorities to spare no effort in identifying the perpetrators of this attack so that they can be brought to justice swiftly.     The Secretary-General reaffirms that the United Nations will continue to support national efforts to advance peace and stability in the Central African Republic, working closely with the country’s international partners.     Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General  New York, 13 July 2020."

France left CAR without roads and with an extremely low literacy rate, while selling "Emperor" Bokassa millions of dollars of fur capes and Faberge eggs. Nothing on UN peacekeepers' rapes in CAR, including of children, just like on June 19 not a word about the cholera the UN brought, killing 10,000 Haitians.  We'll have more on this. Here was Inner City Press' video when it covered the Security Council's mid 2017 trip to Haiti, before it was roughed up by corrupt Guterres' UN Security and banned now 741 days.

  On June 1 they took questions only from pre-screened in-house correspondents, ignoring or even pretending not to see a question about Cameroon by Inner City Press. Twitter here, Periscope here.

 Neither said a word about the slaughter in Cameroon; they did not answer Inner City Press on-line question about new cases of UN sex abuse, including a child rape in South Sudan by UNMISS data dumped by the UN on June 1.

  The Program belatedly went up - with countries on which the two ambassadors ignored and censored questions: DRC, Mali, South Sudan. We'll have more on this.

  Back on February 3, before Coronavirus hit New York (but after the first cases covered up in Wuhan in December 2019) Belgian Ambassador Marc Pecsteen de Buytswerve held an in person but also friends-only press conference about his upcoming month as Security Council president, with few questions on Africa. Program of Work tweeted by Inner City Press here.

  Belgium, of course, oversaw the colonialism and killing in the Congo. Its mission to the UN,in 2018 and since, did not respond to Inner City Press' formal communications about Guterres having it roughed up and banned. Still the Mission and Ambassador pontificate about press freedom and even the safety of journalists.

  The next, such as it was, is that Jared Kushner will brief the Security Council behind closed doors on February 6 at noon, when Guterres' spokes- / hatchetman Stephane Dujarric holds his noon briefing will refusing all questions from Inner City Press despite an on camera promise.
