As UN Corrupt in South Sudan Wasting $300K on Empty Plane to Nepal USUN Pretends Reform

As UN Corrupt in South Sudan Wasting $300K on Empty Plane to Nepal USUN Pretends Reform by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack UN GATE / Juba, April 30 – How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Consider South Sudan, where UN personnel stand accused of child rape on which UN spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming have refused all Press questions.  Now while the US Mission to the UN pretends to a public that doesn't know (and mostly doesn't care) that it is reforming UNMISS with bureaucratic studies and changes in language, it has done nothing to stop the waste, and Guterres' ban on the Press which exposes it. Inner City Press exclusively published the below, and directly raised it to USUN, Mike Waltz and Jeff Bartos - nothing: Dear Matthew Russell Lee,   Last week, UMMISS Leadership failed to properly inform the Host Government about the Rotation of the Nepalese Contingent, as a result, UNMISS has again, just lost over $300,000 as the chartered flight which arrived in Juba to fly out the contingent, was sent back empty because, the Host Government was not properly informed.   What as USUN done? Nothing. Instead, as on the UNMISS resolution, Jeff Bartos unleashed a ten tweet series on the Committee on Information - without mentioning that Under Secretary General Melissa Fleming, which the Committee oversees, bans the Press and has refused even to answer two letters from two US law firms, pro bono, seeking a dialogue to end the ban on Inner City Press. USUN has gone native, putting style (of resolutions) over substance (ending waste, fraud and censorship).  Back on November 6, 2025, in what seems like a pre-approved list shared by the UNMISS-SMG by mistake - and now given no answers published by Inner City Press on its DocumentCloud here - details some offices with specific names of International staff, to be considered for cuts.    It has happened at MINUSCA in Central African Republic too - and no answers from UN.  Guterres, they say, should end censorship. Application was made on June 19, 2025, here. Still as of October 7 no answer at all from Melissa Fleming or Stephane Dujarric. Totally corrupt. Watch this site. *** Your support means a lot.
