In NY Guinea UN Rep Dies of COVID As SG Guterres Evades Quarantine and Spox Maskless

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

UN GATE, Nov 30 – In the United Nations from which SG Antonio Guterres has banned Inner City Press 881 days for asking about his complicity in the killing of civilians in Cameroon, Guinea and Sudan,  there are blatantly double or triple standards between national staff, "regular" international staff and then, at the top, corrupt Tony and his cronies.

 Now on November 30, after Guterres evaded quarantine and his spokesman Stephane Dujarric continuing maskless briefings to scribes in a room he banned Inner City Press from, a UN Ambassador in New York is DEAD from COVID: Keletigui Fama Touré, head of Guinea's mission to the UN, has died. The Mission said it will be under quarantine. Why is the UN still in New York? Why are super-spreader Guterres and his maskless spokesman still in jobs? Censorship must end.

   Below Inner City Press publishes a complaint sent to it on October 31 by UN national staff in Sudan, screwed as the UN and AU close down the failed but cash cow UNAMID mission.

  The complaint was triggered by the total contempt shown to them by Tony's head of peacekeeping, the sixth Frenchman in a row to hold the post, Jean-Pierre Lacroix. He is traveling around, which would in New York require a two week quarantine upon return.

(Guterres complained of this in a Zoom call with diplomats that Inner City Press published, with Guterres bragged he's doing to Boston to meet a plane from Portugal, evading the rules amid the UN Covid outbreak).

  So can it be that Guterres lets his highest cronies live wherever in the world they want, on the public dime, while "regular" international staff were all told they had to return to their duty stations like New York, or not get paid? Who else has this secret and sleazy deal? Guterres' spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refuse to answer any of Inner City Press' written questions, so we'll find out in other ways - watch this site.

 The Sudan national staff says they have been in a sit-in strike in front of the mission since August. But gallivanting Lacroix didn't even stop to see them. We'll have more on this, too.

  Back on September 1 Inner City Press wrote to the Niger Mission, as incoming UN Security Council president, with questions about Cameroon, Somalia and UNsexploitation.

 The email address on the Niger Mission's UN web page did not work; it bounced back. A Direct Message on Twitter to @Niger_ONU was not answered.

  And now as the UN closes down for COVID spread multiple sources told Inner City Press it is the Niger Mission. Inner City Press was the first to report this. And also, Guterres' sleazy plan to evade quarantine, even now, and spread it to Boston.

   The United Nations General Assembly in New York will be closed on October 27 as at least five members on a member state's mission have tested positive for COVID-19, letter first tweeted by Inner City Press here
and below.

 But many hours later, at 8:30 am on October 27, still nothing from Guterres or his Media Acceditation and Liaison Unit. And still none. They are corrupt.
