UN GATE, Jan 22 – UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on 27 March 2018 lavished praise on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman now accused with respect to Jamal Khashoggi, accepting a $930 million check from the Saudis and UAE, with not a word of the Saudi led bombing campaign that has killed civilians and caused cholera in Yemen. While his team still has MOU(s) with MBS, Guterres conceals others of his financial links.
Now with a blind eye being turned by Guterres and the UN Security Council under Mona Juul, who bans Press questions on her links to Jeffrey Epstein, 200 have been killed or injured in a prison in Yemen by an air strike by the Saudi UAE coalition. From MSF: An airstrike carried out by the Saudi-led coalition on Yemen's Sa'ada City Remand Prison killed at least 82 people early yesterday and injured 266, according to the Ministry of Health, while the death toll likely to increase as searchers comb the rubble. Two staff members of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) who reside in Sa'ada City were in their houses close to the prison at the time of the airstrike. They described hearing fighter jets and then three separate explosions. "There is no way to deny that this is an airstrike, everyone in Sa'ada City heard it," said one of the MSF staff. "I live one kilometer from the prison and my house was shaking from the explosions." The coalition described reports that the prison had been hit and detainees hurt as "baseless and unfounded," but an MSF staff member who visited the site of the prison confirmed that it had been destroyed, and a second MSF staff member at the city's al-Gumhourriyeh Hospital described the hospital as overwhelmed with the wounded. "The hospital is facing a very difficult situation this morning, with casualties lying on the floor," he said. "There are not enough beds for all of the wounded."
The Internet has been cut off by an airstrike. The UN and its representatives are failures - and work.
Alongside COVID-19 cases and more slaughter in Yemen, Guterres while refusing to answer the Press or tell the public obviously told Swedish insiders he was dole out the Yemen envoy post to Hans Grundberg. Inner City Press reported this mid-July, 2021.
In January 2022 the UN denied accreditation to Inner City Press with no reason at all given.
Past 4 pm on Friday, August 30, 2019 the UN issued a denial of accreditation with no reasoning other than that accreditation had previously been revoked:
"From: malu at un dot org
Date: Fri, Aug 30, 2019 at 4:23 PM
Subject: U.N. eAccreditation request for Matthew Lee Ref # M5413398 has been declined
To: Inner City Press:
Greetings Matthew Lee from Inner City Press, Your media accreditation request, with reference no: M5413398, has been declined for the following reason: Media accreditation was withdrawn on 17 August 2018."
This is Kafka-esque, and corrupt. We will have more, much more, on this.
