In UN briefing Inner City Press is banned from by
@UN_Spokesperson @StephDujarric for 1229th day,
he's gotten its Qs by email, incl on #Haiti case, Carney conflict, whistleblower Reilly, #Burma Cmr Hnd #UNGA vax #Nigeria #Cameroon #Burma UN rapes. Thread below
Banned Inner City Press has asked in writing, "What conflict of interest rules apply to UN official Mark Carney, given his positions with Brookfield, and it seems PIMCO and Stripe?
Inner City Press has asked, "what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that Mozambique’s opposition Renamo has demanded that parliament hold an session to discuss the presence of foreign forces fighting armed groups in the Cabo Delgado province?
Inner City Press has asked, "Also, as with Angolo / Dos Santos, on which you have not answer, disclose any and all assistance to Guterres' term(s) as UNSG provided by Mozambique or its governmental leaders."
Banned Inner City Press asked, "On UN retaliating against whistleblowers, what is SG Guterres' response to statements by Emma Reilly on steps to fire her by end of August, under a UN claim that whether names of Uighur dissidents were given to China is irrelevant?
Banned Inner City Press this morning in writing asked @UN_Spokesperson "what are the comments & actions if any of SG Guterres on that rebels from Ethiopia's northern region of Tigray have captured the historic town of Lalibela." Nada - #TodaysUNisUseless
So @UN_Spokesperson @StephDujarric ends by lying that there are no more questions on his phone - Inner City Press has emailed him and @MelissaFleming this morning questions on Haiti, Emma Reilly, Mozambique, conflicts of interest - no answers. #UNaccountable.
