Here at 12:13 pm is @UN_Spokesperson Spox Haq in the UN Press Briefing Room from which Inner City Press is banned by UNSG @AntonioGuterres. It has emailed him Qs on Tigray, #Uganda, #Nigeria, SG scam "election, #Chad #Belarus #Cameroon, #Honduras, thread below
Inner City Press asked Haq, "On Uganda, on which you have refused to answer Press' Qs about the digital ID system which excludes people from vaccination, what are UN's comments and actions if any on that Uganda has recorded its highest number of coronavirus cases
Inner City Press asked, "On Ethiopia and Tigray what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that Ethiopia's electoral board has postponed until September elections in Somali and Harari. The voting will also not take place in Tigray
Inner City Press asked Haq, "On Nigeria on which each of you has refused to answer Inner City Press' questions, what now are the comments of SG Guterres and separately DSG @AminaJMohammed & @MelissaFleming on that the US has condemned Nigeria's ban on Twitter,
So @UN_Spokesperson Haq had only four questioners, none of the about questions were asked (in fact, he bragged about the UN working around US sanctions on Iran, as with Afrasiabi). Then @UN_PGA dep spox named the uncontested UNSC winner but not vote totals. #fail
