An award-winning U.S. diplomat who was seen as a rising star at the State Department has issued a scathing resignation letter, accusing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the Donald Trump administration of undercutting the State Department and damaging Americas influence in the world.
Elizabeth Shackelford, who most recently served as a political officer based in Nairobi for the U.S. mission to Somalia, wrote to Tillerson that she reluctantly had decided to quit because the administration had abandoned human rights as a priority and shown disdain for the State Departments diplomatic work, according to her letter, obtained by Foreign Policy.

Interesting ... who woulda thunk THAT connection? /S
If only the DOJ and the FBI swamp would drain similarly.
That actually turns out to be a crew problem on our part.
Wellllllll THANKS, creature of the black lagoon, for confirming that SECSTATE & TRUMP are doing what we wanted them to do. Now please get on down the road and shut your upper farting orifice. We’ve had the Marxists in the State Dept holding sway farrrrr tooooo long as it is.
Remove the UN World Government Dead Weight and move forward
She can go live in Minneapolis/St Paul, where the largest group of Somalis in the USA reside. That might make her feel better.
Good. Thanks.
100%
And Shackleford’s Nairobi-based work on human rights problems in Somalia have accomplished what, exactly? She’ll be a real loss to the taxpayers.
I have one question for all these lifers at the State Department: Just what are all those great diplomatic victories of State Department diplomacy in the last fifty years?
Peace, anywhere, in the Middle East?
Peace, on the Korean peninsula?
Peace in Africa?
Real true end to Pakistan-India conflict?
End of Middle-East Sunni-Shia proxy wars.
End of Russian bullying in Europe?
End of China’s bullying in Asia?
End of tribal conflicts in Africa?
End of Cuban communist meddling in Central and South America?
Just what have the State Department’s fantastic diplomacy made such victories with?
Track, wall, see ya!!
Exactly. Based on their criteria, we need an Ambassador to Chicago.
Buh bye!
The more that leave - THE BIGGER THE WIN.
yeah, the leftist/fake stream media like uber-leftist propaganda site “Foreign Policy” have been whining about the “destruction” of the State Department for weeks now. We here at FR call it “winning” ...
Damaging Obamas influence in the world the clean up has started gets better every day.
<>She said she was shocked when Tillerson appeared to cast doubt on the importance of human rights in remarks to department employees on May 3.<>
I counted nine “human rights” in the column, as if that is the purpose of the State Department.
Nowhere did I find “American interests” or anything similar.
