UNITED
NATIONS, March
28 -- When if
ever will the
UN act on the
126 rapes
from November
20 to 22 in
Minova by the
Congolese
Army, its
partners?
On
March 27 at
the UN's noon
briefing Inner
City Press
asked
Secretary
General Ban
Ki-moon's
spokesman
Martin Nesirky
just that.
Nesirky
said he would
get the answer
from the
Department of
Peacekeeping
Operations,
which is run
by Herve
Ladsous.
After
that, without
any response
to Inner City
Press, the
answer was
given
-- not for
attirbution of
course -- to
Ladsous'
favorite
lapdog,
Agence France
Presse.
Previously
Inner
City Press
noted that
Ladsous made
a mockery of
Ban's supposed
Human Rights
Due Diligence
Policy by
adopted for
mass rape a
“three
strikes and
you're out”
policy.
Now
it is
conclusively
worse: Ladsous
had given
ANOTHER
threat, as on
February 4 and
February 18,
to the
Congolese
foreign
minister
Raymond
Tshibanda at
least pretend
to take action
or, God
forbid, the UN
might suspend
some
assistance to
two
unidentified
rapist units
of the
army.
It
and Ladsous --
and the
scribes who
channel him
without
analysis --
are a joke.
Yes, lapdogs.
Ladsous,
it
will be
recalled,
refused to
answer about
these 126
rapes when
asked at the
Security
Council
stakeout on November 27, December
7 and
December
18
(mic seizing
video here,
any UN public
action not
shown.)
Inner
City Press asked Ban
Ki-moon
himself at the
stakeout on
March 5.
The
result was
Ladsous' DPKO
giving a
misleading
half answer on
March
7
-- but only to
friendly
scribes from
his favorite,
Agence France
Presse, as
well as
Reuters
and other
wires (NOT the
wire service
of
Russia, which
has had the
Security
Council
presidency in
March and
whose pilots
were killed
for DPKO in
South Sudan in
December).
Inner
City Press
objected, in
writing, and
while
answering a
question to
another
journalist on
March 8 Tim
Witcher of AFP
hissed, “lies
and
distortion.”
Inner City
Press replied,
“Lapdog.”
Witcher
of
AFP and Michelle
Nichols of
Reuters, whose
repertoire
consists
almost
entirely of
craven
re-typing of
UN hand-outs
or things seen
on
UN Television,
filed
complaints
against Inner
City Press
with UN
Security,
entirely based
on speech and
publication.
The
UN repeatedly
demanded a
written
response
charges it
never showed
or
even
summarized to
Inner City
Press.
Citing
Franz Kafka,
Inner City
Press refused
until it was
shown a copy,
and
told what the
rules are.
Inner City
Press
complained in
writing to
the head of
the Department
of Public
Information on
March 15.
On
March 18, DPI
conducted a
raid of Inner
City Press'
office without
notice or
consent, went
through
papers, and
took
photographs.
Also
taking
photographs
was Pamela
Falk of CBS
News, the
president of
the
UN
Correspondents
Association on
whose
Executive
Committee sit
Tim
Witcher of AFP
and Nichols
boss, Louis
Charbonneau of
Reuters.
The
photos,
including of
Inner City
Press' papers
and
bookshelves -
what
is has been
reading - were
given to and
published by
BuzzFeed on
March 22.
Despite
specific
requests at
the UN noon
briefings of
March 25 and
March 26
that DPI
disclose who
it let into
the office,
who took
pictures and
who they gave
them to, DPI
has refused.
Now
Ladsous has
struck again,
handing the
“news” of his
four strikes
and you're out
policy to AFP
et al. Inner
City Press
says again:
Lapdogs. Will
there be new
bogus
complaints?
Another raid?
Something
more?

Ladsous? Watch
