"The UN says it cannot observe the January 30 poll because it played a role in setting up the elections. . . . "

Can anyone put any meaning to that assertion?
(Assuming it was actually made.)

(Isn't the "UN" supposed to be roughly synonymous with "a comunity of nations"? Is the UN a "thing" with its own motivations, so that it could have conflicts of interests ascribed, or is this political horseshit? (Surprise me.) )
