UN GATE, Jan 26 – Colombia leapt into the news in the US on January 26, when this was announced: "two repatriation flights from the US were not allowed to land in Colombia [so] immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures: -Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%." On the lookout for any response from the UN - none came.
Then from Colombia: "The Government of Colombia, under the direction of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were going to arrive in the country today in the morning, coming from deportation flights." Oh.
How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Consider this, from a UN whistleblower sent to Inner City Press:
There is another scandal to report, which is the newly appointed CMS/DMS for Colombia, Mr Yang Wang. In the same email, as well as in articles published by Inner City Press, it has been reported that Chief HR Mar Brusola manipulated the recruitment process by eliminating all qualified candidates in order to make the selection of Mr Wang easy. Due to his limited knowledge, experience and English understanding , Mr Wang has never passed any UN exam
He was downsized in 2016 but thanks to his Chinese connections and support, he was saved and moved to UNSOM then moved to the mission in Colombia to be the P5 Chief Operational Resource Management, a position for which he did not have any experience.
While working in that position for 6 years and not producing anything for UNVMC, he tried to get into the roster for his own position but failed every time .
Although he has no managerial skills or professionalism, despite committing fraud in his application by declaring his fluency in Spanish and passing an exam in a language he doesn't know, he was selected as CMS D1 for which he has clearly proven he is incapable. OIOS and OHRM do not want to undergo any investigations despite requests from Colleagues.
The fact that he is not fluent in Spanish and could never answer the written answer in the exam could be easily verified. But this is how the corrupt UN works. Why have member states lost faith in the UN? This.
We'll have more on all this. Keep the info coming.
