UN GATE, May 1 – Mozambique gets the UN Security Council presidency on May 1, 2024 - while Inner City Press is still banned from the UN, despite its June 19 application.
On April 20, Inner City Press wrote to the Mozambique Mission: This is a timely request that you allow Inner City Press to enter and cover, and/or provide the WebEx pass code(s) to access Mozambique's UNSC Presidency press briefing by your Ambassador Pedro Comissário Afonso on May 1.
Then Inner City Press asked UN Spox Stephane Dujarric and the Mission, "On Mozambique itself, for answer before or at 12:30 - request is in, for WebEx access - what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres - and Mozambique - on that Islamic State Mozambique Province (ISMP) Claims Burning Over 230 Christian Houses In Series Of Attacks In Country's Nampula Province, Conducts 'Preaching Tour' In Muslim Villages In Country's North."
Still no answer from the Mozambique mission, as the Council fails worldwide and UNSG Antonio Guterres bans the Press.

Inner City Press on June 19 applied to the UN for access, as it gives 100s, to cover the UNGA week. Inner City Press has a NYC Press Pass and writes about the UN. From Japan and its UN Mission, nothing.
