UN closes refugee resettlement program in Sudan
while corruption investigation proceeds, by Ann Corcoran 5/18/18
“UNHCR in Sudan resettled 600 refugees*** as part of the program in 2017,” a spokesman for the UN agency in Geneva, Babar Baloch, told AFP.
We do not need the UN to do the first cut!
“UNHCR in Sudan resettled 600 refugees*** as part of the program in 2017,” a spokesman for the UN agency in Geneva, Babar Baloch, told AFP.
We do not need the UN to do the first cut!
Two days ago I told you that the UN High Commissioner for Refugees office in
Sudan is being investigated (by the UN) for possible fraud in the selection
process for refugees heading to mostly the US.
There
are allegations that bribes are being paid to influence the selection of
certain refugees over others.
Now comes news that the program is being shuttered at least temporarily. And, in case you are wondering, after
lobbying from the UAE, Trump did drop Sudan from the travel restriction
list, see here.
Where is Homeland Security, is it time to have a look at the 652
Sudanese who got in to the US in calendar year 2017 (Wrapsnet)?
Before
I get to the latest news story, you need to know that in this fiscal year (’18)
we have admitted 53 refugees of Sudanese ethnicity, but when looking at
processing country data, I see we processed 154 ‘refugees’ in from that
Khartoum, Sudan office.
If
53 are Sudanese (according to a different data base at Wrapsnet) then the other 101 are which
nationalities? Who else are we bringing in through Sudan?
See that we processed in 154 from this
Sudan office since October 1, 2017. While you are looking at this data, see
that we also resettled 108 from South Africa and I can assure you that zero are
white persecuted farmers!

UN halts Sudan refugee resettlement after alleged fraud
The UN refugee agency said Thursday it is temporarily suspending its
program for the resettlement of refugees from Sudan after allegations of fraud
emerged in the scheme.
The
UN High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR, said it had launched two
investigations in February and March as the allegations of fraud surfaced.
“At
present we are still dealing with allegations, based on reports that have come
from refugees,” the head of the UNHCR in Sudan, Noriko Yoshida said in a
statement.
“Should
wrongdoing be confirmed, those responsible can expect the consequences to be
severe.”
Ha!
Yes, they might catch those benefiting by taking bribes, but that does nothing
to punish those who paid the bribes and are now living in your town on US
welfare!
The
UNHCR has appealed for more than $250 million in global aid to fund its overall
2018 operations in Sudan, which hosts about 1.2 million refugees, most from
South Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia.
As
we learned at Wrapsnet, the US resettled 652
Sudanese in calendar year 2017 which means that the US must take most of the
Sudanese the UN is resettling from this office. Who are they and where
are they?
And,
by the way, commonsense tells us that this kind of fraud, bribery and
corruption is likely going on throughout Africa!
As
I have said repeatedly, there is no reason that we (the US) can’t choose and
process the refugees we want.
