Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary General of the United Nations tells the FPA about his experiences, including his politely suppressed anger at the rulers of Sudan, Morocco, Myanmar and other places who tested his near-infinite patience to destruction with one notable example being Netanyahu “never an amicable person,” whose conversations left Ban "feeling bitter.” He explained how he managed a ceasefire in Gaza and how Israel compensated the UN for destroying its facilities there! He discussed Haiti and the cholera epidemic, and Western Sahara climate change, and how he faced up to Putin on LGBT athletes at the Olympics and without much hope described his frequently thwarted attempts to visit North Korea. Lots of material for all members!
