Kofi Annan facing no-confidence vote
It looks like people are finally starting to see Kofi Annan as the incompetent criminal that he is.
UN staff ready historic no-confidence vote in AnnanFri Nov 19, 6:50 AM ET World – AFPUNITED NATIONS (AFP) – UN employees are expected to issue an unprecedented vote of no confidence in Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news – web sites), union sources say, after he pardoned the body’s top oversight official over a series of allegations.
The UN staff union, in what officials said was the first vote of its kind in the more than 50-year history of the United Nations (news – web sites), was set to approve a resolution withdrawing support for the embattled Annan and senior UN management.
Annan has been in the line of fire over a high-profile series of scandals including controversy about a UN aid programme that investigators say allowed deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein (news – web sites) to embezzle billions of dollars.
