New UN Tribunal

Go figure.

If you live in Arusha you can't help but be affected by UN/ICTR, The United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The UN have various tribunals for crimes against humanity all over and this particular one is smack dab in the middle of Arusha, and their cars and staff are all over Arusha.

Living in Arusha, despite the fact one comes to sort of dislike the UN, one can't help but have friends who work there. Over lunch with Stephane he mentioned there is a new tribunal (and he would like to work there), that investigates the injustices of the UN against its employees, something like that.

"You mean there are employees who aren't treated well?"

That brought out a good laugh from the others UN staff at the table.

I guess the problem is big shots don't want to give that tribunal any money so Stephane is not able to work there. Instead he lives in a container in Juba and rides his bike around the UN compound for exercise.
