SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 7 – In Haiti, hold-over
president Jovenel Moises has
been assassinated. The
Dominican Republic has ordered
its border with the country
closed.
In the
United Nations, which ran a
large "peacekeeping" mission
in Haiti which beyond failing
brought in cholera and killed
10,000 Haitians, while
refusing to compensate any of
the impoverished families who
lost their bread-winners,
there are sure to be more
belated statements of concern
- see below.
There may
be an emergency meeting of the
UN Security Council, whose
trip to Haiti Inner City Press
covered, here,
and here,
before being
banned from the UN and
its briefings by Secretary
General Antonio Guterres.
Most
recently, Guterres'
spokespeople Stephane Dujarric
and Farhan Haq have refused to
answer Inner City Press'
written questions about new
cases of UN sexual abuse in
Haiti, here.
Many hours later,
this from Guterres' spokesman
and functional censor
Dujarric: "The
Secretary-General condemns in
the strongest terms the
assassination of President
Jovenel Moïse of the Republic
of Haiti. The perpetrators of
this crime must be brought to
justice. The Secretary-General
extends his deepest
condolences to the people and
Government of Haiti." No
condolences or reparations for
those the UN has killed with
cholera.
Talk is cheap.
