LITERARY UN GATE, April 30 -- After sucking up to Putin and bringing missiles on Kyev, where next? Why, to Nigeria, of course. Another dictator, Buhari, killing his own people and that of a neighboring country.
In this case it was Cameroon. As Anglophones tried to flee the assault of Paul Biya's trained killers, burning their houses as the UN Peacekeepers were doing in DR Congo, Buhari sent them back.
His real representative in the UN, Amina J. Mohammed, backed up Biya and held down Ambazonia like Biafra. These were Big Tony Guterres' people.
The first stop would be Senegal, a Ramadan ho-down with Macky Sall. Who cared if his mission had ripped off an architect in New York? Who cared about killings in Casamance?
Long time UN propagandist Stephane Dujarric, with the help of Guterres personal censor Melissa Fleming, crafted a statement about Big Tony's long history of Ramadan trip.
Tony had a bone to throw in every direction, to keep himself living in the mansion. And if the Press asked a question? Rough it up Buhari style. Tony's loved a man in a uniform.
There would also be Niger, where a UN official named Robert Fowler had been grabbed some time ago. Tony would have love to go to Chad, but because he'd colluded in coups he wanted to avoid the optics.
Three days in West Africa then back to the mansion to bask in the bribes. Who cared if anyone ever got out of Mariupol?
Meanwhile Kurt Wheelock kept digging... For now, book "Identity Thieves"- follow up coming.
