UNITED NATIONS, March 21 -- As the UN Security Council convened Monday afternoon about tensions in Sudan, Pagan Amum of Southern Sudan complained to Inner City Press about the UN Mission in Sudan not doing enough to counter destabilization by Omar al Bashir's National Congress Party, and even flying into Abyei on a UN helicopter NCP member Ahmed Haroun, indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Darfur.
Inner City Press has asked Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's spokesman Martin Nesirky for the UN's response to evidence made public by the SPLM, without response.
Likewise, Press questions about the specifics of and decision making behind UN flying ICC indicted war criminal Ahmed Haroun have yet to be answered.
While Amum was delivering this request for help and critique of UNMIS at the Security Council stakeout, Ban's spokesperson's office broken in on the public address system with a belated answer to a question asked over the weekend and at the noon briefing, effectively drowning out what Amum was saying.
And that... says it all. Watch this site.
