UNITED NATIONS, May 21 --
When the UN paid for its far-flung envoys to travel to New York for a retreat
at the Greentree estate last week, many were surprised and angry that Darfur
envoy Ibrahim Gambari appeared only briefing, for the photo op and conclusion,
and otherwise "did personal business" in New York.
As exclusively reported by Inner City Press
on February 3, Gambari spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to build himself
a "hard shell on the hill" estate in the UN's El Fasher peacekeeping
camp. As peacekeeping budget missions are now reviewed in the UN's Fifth
(Budget) Committee, Inner City Press has be informed by whistleblowers of the
full cost: $620,000.
