Ronan Farrow, offspring of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen has been appointed as a liaison to non-governmental organizations working in Pakistan.
And he’s only 21!
Sounds a little young, don’t you think?
Humanitarian groups met with Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holobrooke were shocked with Ronan’s appointment.
A humanitarian official described other representatives reaction to the news saying:
“You have seasoned, experienced NGO officials dealing with some very sensitive foreign policy and humanitarian aid issues, whose main contact in Holbrooke’s office is a [21] year old whose experience has been traveling to southern Sudan with his mom.”
How is traveling to Sudan make someone qualified?
But, a State Department confirms that the so called “prodigy” who has worked with Holobrooke since he was a teenager, is well qualified:
“He’s very qualified for the job, and has already helped explain the current situation re: Pakistani procurements to key NGOs, including a meeting he organized today with InterAction and its affiliated NGOs.”
One official even said that the celebuspawn is “a friggin’ genius and a true activist for Darfur … Went to college at age 11 and then to law school at 16.”
Hopefully the “friggin’ genius” isn’t a”friggin’ mistake”.
