No, it was the decision to pull all U.N. staff out of their private guesthouses and force them to live in massive walled-off compounds far from the city center. Overnight, 93 guesthouses were closed down, meaning 93 families suddenly deprived of rental income, and thousands of employees - cooks, cleaners, drivers and guards - without a salary...
