UN GATE, April 15 – As the military and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces shoot it out in Khartoum and its airport, the United Nations (which has taken and wasted billions from the public under Antonio Guterres, in Sudan as elsewhere) is invisible.
Inner City Press, which before Guterres' reign of censorship was in the UN, and accompanied and covered a UN Security Council mission to Khartoum and Juba, recently asked Guterres' spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming:
"On Sudan, what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that Sudanese security forces in the capital have fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse thousands of people protesting against military rule. The demonstrators marched towards the presidential palace but were chased away by police. They dismissed a deal signed recently between the military and civilians, saying it was too vague."
No answer at all.
Now, among the dead, planes are being blown up in Khartoum airport, with Saudia (which lied), SkyUp, EgyptAir, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates, SalamAir, Ethiopian, Air Arabia and other airlines impacted.
People in Sudan were and are correct: today's UN under Antonio Guterres is useless and should be defunded.
