UN GATE, Dec 30 – As inside the increasingly marginal United Nations a process begins to select a successor to Antonio Guterres who banned Inner City Press from the UN as it reported on his links with briber CEFC China Energy and to sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, it is time to review the history. Part 13:
Amid the slaughter of Anglophones in Cameroon, Antonio Guterres stopped over in the country’s capital on October 27, 2017, meeting with longtime president Paul Biya and purporting to “assess” the Anglophone areas with out leaving the airport.
Inner City Press, which had asked Guterres about Biya cutting over the Internet to the area - Guterres claimed that he hadn’t heard the question - now asked UN spokesman Farhan Haq about the stop over, and comments by Guterres’ rep Francois Fall that anyone suggesting autonomy or independence was an “extremist.”
Inner City Press asked where Guterres was going after this Yaounde - Paris leg - Haq wouldn’t say. Inner City Press asked, Lisbon? If so, who’s paying to take UN Security there? Haq didn’t answer, saying that Guterres travels with a small party. Inner City Press asked how many people, like the UN Photographer sent before Guterres to CAR, travel separately, to make the party look smaller, or because Guterres is anti-social? No answer. No answer on disciplining Renner Onana, criticized in the UN’s own report on sexual abuse in CAR. This despite claims of accountability, transparency, zero tolerance.
Increasingly under Guterres, the UN had zero credibility.
After learning Guterres took a golden statute from Biya during the airport meeting, Inner City Press questioned Dujarric:
I noticed that the Secretary-General met with Ambassador Delattre and some others about this protection of journalists. So, I wanted to ask, I’ll use Cameroon as an example. There are any number of journalists sitting in jail for reporting on the very conflict that he discussed with President Biya. Was any issue of press freedom raised?
Spokesman: I will stick to the readout I gave you in the meeting with President Biya. Inner City Press: No, no, I’m saying…Spokesman: Thank you.”
The referenced French Ambassador Francois Delattre did a fundraising with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, along with a longtime member of UNCA, the UN Censorship Alliance.
