It’s not a good look for the convoy of a crusader against genocide to mow down a little African boy as her motorcade roars through a rural area at high speed (often exceeding 60 miles per hour on two-lane country roads), accompanied by a helicopter overhead, journalists in tow, eager for a photo op with refugees. But that was the situation facing Samantha Power yesterday in Cameroon. The Associated Press reports:
U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power’s trip to Cameroon’s front lines in the war against Boko Haram started horrifically today as an armored jeep in her motorcade struck and killed a young boy who darted into the road.
The incident occurred near the small city of Mokolo, in northern Cameroon, where Power, her aides and accompanying journalists were headed to meet refugees and others displaced by the years of brutal attacks across West Africa.
All those meetings included small children.
Power, a journalist, achieved fame, academic standing, fortune, and high office by self-righteously denouncing the callousness of Western powers in the face of genocide. But since becoming Barack Obama’s U.N. ambassador, she has remained in office as his administration stood by as hundreds of thousands were slaughtered in Syria, not resigning in protest. Those perks of office – like armored motorcades though impoverished areas afflicted by genocidal forces – must be hard to give up.
Power’s motorcade did not even stop:
The vehicle that hit the boy initially stopped, but was ordered by American security forces to continue traveling through the unsecured area. An ambulance in the U.S. caravan immediately attended to him.

Cameroon has had over 50 suicide bombings this year alone and about 10 of them by children. It is a dangerous place.
Yes. The teens would do it daring one another and the little kids would try to do the same thing. I had to change my route home since it was so annoying, especially when it would get dark early.
Powers is a rancid Soros/0bamabot. Killing people is hardly new to them..
Sounds like an very unfortunate accident. No one should be trying capitalize over this child’s death.
Thanks for a little sanity. The gloating over a dead kid is sick.
Im not happy they pegged off a kid. All I am saying is if kids dart out into fast moving traffic you cant blame the driver for not being able to avoid them all the time. The ambulance staff travelling with the security caravan tried to provide medical help.
Here’s hoping Cameroon seizes her and executes her for the crime, citing “white privilege”.
