UN GATE, April 26
–
UN Secretary General Antonio
Guterres first threw the
investigative Press out of the
UN, then even to the pliant
state media he left in,
canceled his scheduled press
conference on January 28.
Instead he held a closed door
meeting - which banned Inner
City Press live-streamed (I,
II, III)
and now posts portions of on
YouTube, here.
Now in
April 2021, banned Inner City
Press has repeatedly asked
Guterres and his spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming about Somalia (and
Kenya, and Somalialand), while
Guterres tries to steal a
second term, this: "The
Secretary-General is deeply
concerned about the recent
armed clashes in Mogadishu. He
reiterates his call for all
Somali stakeholders to refrain
from further violence and
resolve their differences
through dialogue and
compromise.
The Secretary-General urges
all Somali stakeholders to
resume negotiations
immediately and forge an
agreement based on the 17
September Electoral Model and
Baidoa
proposals.
Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman
for the
Secretary-General New
York, 26 April 2021." Both are
on a junket.
Guterres is
a liar, and censor.
Back on January
31, UN system staff who have
gotten no response from
Guterres and his spokespeople
have written to Inner City
Press: "Dear Mr. Lee,
Below is a brief email to
senior leadership team on the
subject matter in Mogadisgu.
We have written and written
kindly you are surely our
saviour. Many thanks:
To UN officials and
spokespeople including kaneko

Subject: Witch craft in
office
Dear Senior Leadership
Team, It would be nice
to protect our lives in
Mogadishu.Whereas we are under
tense operation in the field
our field leadership team in
particular program Director -
Ms. Qurat - Ul-Ain Sadozai is
busy practicing witch craft in
office. We are a mixed
community here and its very
unfortunate that this issue
has been brought to senior
leadership team but with no
solution. Please we kindly
request quick attention over
this woman we can no longer
stand this in a public
office. Witch craft is
an out dated method of keeping
jobs we need help

from Somalia Field
Office." We'll have more
on this
