Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the UN has expressed
her great sorrow after her motorcade moving at a fast speed, accidentally hit
and killed a 7-year-old boy in Cameroon on Monday. Samantha Power was in the
country to show US support for the campaign against Boko Haram.
She said she met the boy’s family to offer profound
condolences. An armoured jeep knocked the boy as he tried to cross a road when
the convoy was heading towards a refugee camp. Although he received immediate
medical care from our ambulance in our convoy, he died shortly thereafter’ ” Ms
Power said. US officials were unable to say whether their government will pay
compensation to the boy’s family who lived in a village in northern Cameroon.
This is very sad.
May his soul rest in peace.. :-( Amen!
