UN ambassador Samantha Power’s trip to Cameroon’s frontlines in the war against Boko Haram started horrifically on Monday as an armored Jeep in her motorcade struck and killed a young boy who darted into the road.

The motorcade was moving at a fast clip, at times exceeding 60mph, while villagers lined up along the sides of the road. But when the boy darted on to the two-lane highway, there was no time for the sixth car in Power’s convoy to react. The driver was Cameroonian.

The motorcade moved at a significantly slower pace for the rest of the day.
