UN GATE / SDNY COURT, Nov 11 – The United States, or at least Secretary of State Antony Blinken, is reaching out to Africa, or at least three nations.
But at the United Nations, one of them (Kenya) refuses to answer US-based Inner City Press written questions about Kenyatta's appearance in the Pandora Papers.
Nigeria while slaughtering used UN Deputy SG Amina J. Mohammed to keep the press excluded. Senegal is being sued for corruption right in NYC, as covered by Inner City Press.
The announcement: Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will visit Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal from November 15-20, underscoring the depth and breadth of our relationships with African partners.
Secretary Blinken will begin his trip in Nairobi, where he will meet with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs Ambassador Raychelle Omamo.
Secretary Blinken will then travel to Abuja, where he will meet with President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and Foreign Minister Geoffrey Onyeama and discuss furthering cooperation on global health security.
The Secretary will conclude his trip in Dakar, where he will meet with President Macky Sall and Foreign Minister Aïssata Tall Sall to reaffirm the close partnership between our two countries. Given President Sall’s upcoming African Union chairmanship, Secretary Blinken looks forward to discussing regional issues and shared values."
Inner City Press, whose exclusion from the UN by Antonio Guterres has not been addressed by USUN or Linda Thomas-Greenfield, will be covering the trip. Watch this site
