As UNSC Prez Viet Nam Bans Africa Qs Including Cameroon & Honduras For Guterres

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

UN GATE, April 1 – In the United Nations from which Secretary General Antonio Guterres has banned Inner City Press 1003 days for asking about his complicity in the killing of civilians in Cameroon, poisoning them in Haiti with cholera and COVID in South Sudan, and their mass imprisonment by China in Xinjiang, on April 1 Inner City Press wrote to the Mission of Viet Nam, as incoming UN Security Council president, with questions including about Cameroon, Honduras, Yemen, Western Sahara, Haiti and Libya.

 Inner City Press specifically asked Ambassador Dang Dinh Quy to be provided the WebEx codes to be able to ask its questions:

This is a timely request that you sent Inner City Press the pass code(s) to access your UNSC Presidency press briefing on April 1. I have questions to ask on what you will do this month about the conflicts in Myanmar, Honduras, Western Sahara Cameroon, Yemen and Libya - and on the sexual harassment charges against Fabrizio Hochschild on which Inner City Press first reported in April 2019, for example - Inner City Press is asking to be provided with access / the passwords to your Viet Nam mission's stakeouts and press conferences this month as UNSC President.  Please note that Inner City Press and I participate in the WebEx briefings of, for example, the IMF, here

 Separately, given that I have submitted to the PGA a letter and CV in connection with SG election process, to cause a debate on UN press freedom and accountability, this is a formal request that you circulate my and other candidates' letter and CVs to member states, or immediately inform me why not, given that no written rule required a member state's endorsement to run.   Please immediately confirm receipt, and provide the passcode or state why not."

No answer.

   Nothing. Not even a confirmation of receipt. Then Dang Dinh Quy held an April 1 press conference with not a single question on anything in Africa, much less Cameroon.

 In fact, among those allowed in was a lengthy pro North Korea question, and a bunch of repetitive questions. Inner City Press video here, Instagram here.

  And because we'll be covering them, apparently despite the censorship by Viet Nam Mission, the April Program of Work (put online late) includes April 6 Mali / Syria, 7 Great Lakes, 13 Kosovo, 15 Libya and Yemen, 21 Western Sahara (censored), 22 Middle East and some debates.
We'll have more on this.
