Name an organization more useless than the U.N.
This from frontpagemag.com.
The United Nations has two goals to justify its existence:
– bring peace, and
– solve the world’s problems.
Much to the contrary:
[U.N.] diplomats lounge around Manhattan restaurants, its ‘peacekeepers’ sexually abuse kids and cover for terrorists, and the moment they are faced with an actual crisis… flee.
Haiti should be the leading candidate for a U.N. fixer-upper, but everything the United Nations has done only made things worse.
And now the U.N. is fleeing, BUT:
A United Nations helicopter has been buzzing nonstop for days over Haiti, as the U.N. starts to draw down its personnel in Port-au-Prince, evacuating 14 people at a time in chopper rides.
Yes, the U.N. has no better plan for evacuating its personnel than a single chopper. Perfect.
The U.N. has one helicopter that seats 14 people and can make five trips to the northern city of Cap Haitien in a day.
NOTE: When much of the money gets spent on useless bureaucrats, there is only one helicopter left to evacuate the suckers on the ground.
The United Nations—which before the capital’s airport closed had about 300 employees working in 18 different agencies, including the World Food Program, UNICEF and the International Agency for Migration—said it would move workers to its offices in safer parts of the country outside of Port-au-Prince.
But dozens more staff members assigned to the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti—the political mission known as BINUH—were evacuated from the country.
Of course they were, the politicals are always higher status. And the U.N. is political.
Those employees, who are involved in police, human rights, justice and other programs, were flown to the northern city of Cap Haitien by helicopter, where they departed the country because there were no other offices outside the capital where they could work, U.N. officials said.
Evacuating the Police!?!
Ms. Richardson, who was appointed Deputy Special Representative for the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) and Resident Coordinator in Haiti on 12 May 2022, said:
The U.N. is not leaving Haiti; we are committed to staying in Haiti.
Further:
We want to accelerate and intensify humanitarian aid in Haiti. It requires ingenuity and creativity.
Ignore the chopper. The U.N. is accelerating ingenuity and creativity.
Nations around the world are looking to the U.N. as the only viable solution for a troubled country that has been unraveling since its last president was assassinated more than three years ago.
The U.N. Security Council met for several hours last week to debate whether to start an official peacekeeping operation, despite a history of failed U.N. interventions in the Caribbean nation.
Here is, perhaps, a better solution: Shut down the U.N., use the money to buy food, and airdrop it into Haiti.
