UN GATE, Jan 31 –
Guyana gets the UN Security
Council presidency on February
1, 2024 - while Inner City
Press is still banned from the
UN, despite its June 19 application.
On the morning of
January 31, Inner City Press
wrote to the Guyana Mission:
This is a timely request that
you allow Inner City Press to
enter and cover, and/or
provide the WebEx pass
code(s) to access Guyana's
UNSC Presidency press briefing
by your Ambassador Carolyn
Rodrigues-Birketton February
1, 2024.
I have questions
to ask on what you will do
this month about Gaza, UNRWA
and the coups in Gabon and
Niger, Guyana's situation with
Venezuela and the conflicts in
Sudan, Ukraine, Ethiopia,
Cameroon, Yemen and Libya, and
the revelations of El Pollo
now in SDNY - and on ongoing
cases of sexual abuse and
exploitation by UN
peacekeepers on many of which
Inner City Press first
reported
Please note that
Inner City Press and I
participate in the WebEx
briefings of, for example, the
IMF: March
31, 2022 and since with
new IMF spokesperson Sept
28, 2023: MS.
KOZACK: Matthew Lee,
let's start with you. Sure.
QUESTIONER: Thanks a lot.
Matthew Lee, Inner Press.
Thanks for taking the
question. I have two coups and
crypto, but I'll go in
different order... I saw the
program with Burkina Faso, and
so I'm just wondering what's
the status of the IMF's
discussions with and programs
with other coup governments
like in Niger, Mali and now
Gabon.
By day's end, no
answer from the Guyana
mission. Watch this site.
Inner City
Press on June 19 applied
to the UN for access, as it
gives 100s, to cover the UNGA
week. Inner City Press has a
NYC Press Pass and writes
about the UN. From Ecuador and
its UN Mission, nothing.
