| Amid
Slaughter In Yemen UN Guterres Tells
Sweden But Not Public The Job's
Grundberg's

UN GATE, July 16
– UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres on 27
March 2018
lavished
praise on
Saudi Crown
Prince
Mohammed bin
Salman now accused
with respect to
Jamal Khashoggi,
accepting
a $930 million
check from the
Saudis and UAE,
with not a
word of the
Saudi led
bombing
campaign that
has killed
civilians and
caused cholera
in Yemen.
While his team
still has MOU(s) with
MBS, Guterres
conceals
others
of his
financial
links.
Now alongside COVID-19
cases and more
slaughter in
Yemen, Guterres while
refusing to answer
the Press or
tell the
public has
obviously told
Swedish
insiders he's
dole out the
Yemen envoy
post to Hans
Grundberg.
Former DSG Jan
Eliasson has tweeted - on
July 15 no
less - that "A
success for
Sweden's
mediation
traditions
that the
diplomat Hans
Grundberg has
just been
appointed
Special Envoy
for the UN in
Yemen.
Congratulations
to all
concerned!"
And
former UN Envoy
on Sexual Violence
and Conflict
Margot
Wallstrom, who
used to answer
Inner City
Press'
questions but
did and said
nothing when Inner
City Press was
roughed up and
banned by
Guterres, has tweeted,
"Congratulations
to Swedish
diplomat Hans
Grundberg who
has been
appointed UN
special envoy
for Yemen! And
Thank you
Martin
Griffiths for
your dedicated
hard work for
the Yemeni
people."
Yet Guterres'
spokespeople
Dujarric,
Farhan Haq and
Melissa
Fleming who
refuses to
answer her
mail, even
from law
firms, did not
answer any of
Inner City
Press'
questions or
confirm this.
The UN is
dying - ever
more corrupt.
Past 4 pm on
Friday, August
30 the UN
issued a
denial of
accreditation
with no
reasoning
other than
that
accreditation
had previously
been revoked:
"From:
malu at un dot
org
Date: Fri, Aug
30, 2019 at
4:23 PM
Subject: U.N.
eAccreditation
request for
Matthew Lee
Ref # M5413398
has been
declined
To: Inner City
Press:
Greetings
Matthew Lee
from Inner
City
Press,
Your media
accreditation
request, with
reference no:
M5413398, has
been declined
for the
following
reason: Media
accreditation
was withdrawn
on 17 August
2018."
This is
Kafka-esque,
and corrupt.
We will have
more, much
more, on this.
