Saudi Child Killers pressure UN

Quote:U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon publicly acknowledged Thursday that he removed the Saudi-led coalition currently bombing Yemen from a blacklist of child killers 72 hours after it was published due to a financial threat to defund United Nations programs.
The secretary-general didn't name the source of the threat, but news reports have indicated it came directly from the Saudi government.

I guess Ban Ki-moon will soon get a Fatwa against him, for telling the story.


Some more background: http://thinkprogress.org/world/2016/06/0...off-again/
Quote:United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon removed Saudi Arabia from a U.N.-blacklist of violators of children's human rights, after initially placing their Yemen coalition on the list last Thursday. The decision resulted in a massive outcry from rights groups who lambasted Ki-moon's "flip-flopping."
Saudi Arabia criticized the U.N. for a recent report that said the coalition it is leading in Yemen was resulting in over 60 percent of child deaths there. "Last week's U.N. report said the Saudi-led coalition was responsible for 60 percent of child deaths and injuries in Yemen in 2015, killing 510 and wounding 667," Reuters reported. "It also said the coalition carried out half the attacks on schools and hospitals.
The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".

I've never thought much of Ban Ki Moon all the years he has been at the UN. However, in showing he has no balls by taking down the black list of Saudi child killers he actually showed he did have some once upon a time.

Bit much really - http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2016/04/16...aggression
I get alot of refs to this sort of thing, like "yeah, we're corrupt Nazi torture-murdering assassins" and the like (the shitehounds give me back my own insults of them, 'cos their 'program' template is totally fucked).
On the other hand, there's a slight cutting between Darlington & Durham, on the mainline, where several times over the years, local lads have mooned at the passing train. I'd like to think they call that spot 'Banky moon'.
