COURT, Oct 15 – A fight is
brewing in the corrupt UN of
Antonio Guterres, and current
UN Security Council President
Russia.
It involved Ivory
Coast or Cote d'Ivoire, where
octogenarian ruler Ouattara
seeks another
term.
Former Cote
d'Ivoire ambassador Bamba
called Inner City Press on
October 3 and expressed
frustration at the UN Security
Council. France will support
whoever wins and gives it
money. Tunisia is in chaos.
Inner City
Press informed the seasoned
diplomatic who colonial
Guterres was willing to
support another octogenarian
FrancAfrique asset Paul Biya
in Cameroon. "Keep up the
fight," he said.
Inner City
Press has in writing asked
Guterres, his spokesman
Stephane Dujarric and Deputy
Amina J. Mohammed, chief of
staff Maria Luisa Viotti and
chief censor Melissa Fleming:
"On Cote d'Ivoire, what are
the comments and actions if
any of SG Guterres on events
and upcoming election in the
country - has the Secretariat
heard from former Ambassador
Bamba, now in NYC? and this: A
delegation of African and UN
envoys on Wednesday expressed
"deep concern" ahead of Ivory
Coast's tense presidential
election this month as it
wrapped up a visit to the
capital Abidjan. Envoys from
the West African regional bloc
ECOWAS, the African Union and
the United Nations met with
government officials, the
opposition and civil society
as calls grow for a
postponement of the West
African country's October 31
vote."
As of this
writing on October 15, no
answer. On October 15
Inner City Press, invited to
the press conference, asked
Ambassador Bamba and Herman J.
Cohen about the response of
the UN. Ambassador Bamba said
Cote d'Ivoire has been a
failure of the UN, failure to
monitor. No follow through the
DDR, nor SSR. Cohen suggested
the AU could be trusted more.
Inner City Press
says Guterres has gutted the
UN, siding with octogenarian
dictators like Paul Biya in
Cameroon. Inner City Press
asked a follow up question
about France, whose
interference in Cote d'Ivoire
Inner City Press has long
reported on.
