Bintou Keita served the UN for 36 years in some of the most challenging places, most recently heading MONUSCO. To me Bintou has been one of the most impressive leaders in the United Nations and was thrilled to interview her in our studio in New York.

Most people who follow the United Nations know Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for António Guterres, from his daily live press briefings. I thought Awake at Night listeners would enjoy getting to know the person behind the podium on this week’s unfiltered episode.

My World Food Programme colleague Jean-Martin Bauer spent his career helping to bring food to the hungry. Given his personal connection to Haiti, where his family is originally from, I asked him what keeps him ‘Awake at night’ when he thinks about the tragic situation there.
