The thing about the strongly worded letter is that it sounds like a joke, but it's not. That's literally what they did.

So will the UN put them on double secret probation?

[mossrose]

Into the corner the Taliban must go!

Nada. They've relied on the US for decades to play world police and take care of things while they sit on their thumbs, why would they do anything?

Didn't take me much googling to find the answer.

The United Nations intends to remain in Afghanistan

After the fall of Kabul, the United Nations has reiterated its commitment to stay and deliver aid to millions of people in need in Afghanistan.

The United Nations intends to remain in Afghanistan to continue providing its impartial assistance; supporting efforts to restore peace and stability, promoting the rights and dignity of all Afghans and providing humanitarian help to millions most in need.

The Organization is particularly concerned about violations of human rights and the future of Afghan women and girls.

Some 18 million people in the country need aid assistance and one in three children is expected to be severely malnourished this year, said UN Children’s Fund, UNICEF.

"While some UN personnel who are not location dependent have temporarily been relocated, the majority of humanitarian personnel are staying to support the humanitarian response in line with the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence," Ramiz Alakbarov, United Nations Deputy-Special Representative of the Secretary General in Afghanistan said in a statement.

"The humanitarian community – both the UN and non-governmental organizations – remain committed to helping people in Afghanistan. While the situation is highly complex, humanitarian agencies are committed to supporting vulnerable people in Afghanistan who need us more than ever," he added.

Meanwhile, the UN office for humanitarian affairs, OCHA, reported that teams have been deployed around Kabul to evaluate needs.

And you believe this crap. That's their own website boasting of their own significance.

This should tell you something....

" Ramiz Alakbarov, United Nations Deputy-Special Representative of the Secretary General " -- a bunch of self-imporant bureaucrats with long titles and big salaries.

[Starlight]

And you believe this crap.

Are you a UN-truther now?

The people that the UN has in Afghanistan are not real people?

The UN, Corruption and Scandals: How Did We Get Here?

In 2018, the British public was shocked to learn that its cherished aid agency, Oxfamwas quoted by Reuters in January: “As an organization founded on equality, dignity and human rights, we must lead by example and set the standard.” But under his administration, the UN might foster a reputation of being a champion of sexual harassment but it is also a compliant offender in covering it up. According to Reuters

It is an incredibly bloated organization that is rife with scandal and mismagement.

No doubt, your kind of people.
