It's been spinning out of control for a long time

Question is .. when will it finally hit bottom and when will the UN stop turning a blind eye?

I dunno. I suspect never, there is to much money and power to be exploited, and a lack of will, to do nation building in the UN. So Chaos is the future.

First I presume you Jest in your implicit assumption that the UN is capable of doing anything to improve the situation even if they wanted to.

Second, as long as Someone from Africa sits in the Sec-General's chair no imporvement can be expected. I suspect we better start pushing for another Norwegian or South American or somebody who is not afraid of insulting his cousin who is running a rebal camp in some backwater part of Africa.

Why on earth do we insist on picking people from countries who can't even manage a simple hospital, let alone a country, let alone a continent, to manage the UN.

Based on the UN's recent record, not until there's big money in it.

An alternate question is....... why worry about Africa?
