Nikki
Haley Says "We're Going To
Have To Make This
Right With Haiti" on
Cholera, Ladsous
By Matthew

UNITED NATIONS,
January 18 – Before Nikki
Haley spoke as nominee for US
Ambassador to the UN, Senator
Bob Corker said he sometimes
wondered if just-left
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
had a pulse.
In fact,
Ban was quite active in
helping his own relatives at
the UN, promoting his son in
law to the top UN job in Kenya,
his brother mining in Myanmar
with a "UN delegation,"
indicted nephew using Ban's name
to sell real estate.
When Haley
answered Senator Markey (D-MA)
on Haiti cholera, she said
"We're going to have to make
this right with Haiti" -- and
clean up UN Peacekeeping. That
would involve firing Herve
Ladsous, see below.
Inner City
Press at the January 18 UN
noon briefing asked about
Haley saying countries whose
peacekeepers abuse should not
keep getting paid, asking
specifically about Burundi
whose troops are suspected by
the UN of 25 rapes in the
Central African Republic,
while Ladsous decides to keep
paying the Nkurunziza
government for 800 more of
them.
Earlier, Haley
said the UN has a "checkered
history." That's being
diplomatic. Consider a head of
Peacekeeping who has linked
rapes to R&R, video
here.
Consider a
head of the UN "Department of
Public Information" who did no
due diligence over indicted UN
briber Ng Lap Seng - then
evicted and still restricts
the Press which asked here
about it. Audit
here, Para 37-40, 20b; NYT
here.
In
response to questions, Haley
praised the UN peacekeeping
mission in Sierra Leone,
questioned the one in South
Sudan and that country's
government. She noted that
countries make money off their
peacekeepers. The case in
point, we note, is Burundi, here.
