Missionaries’ egalitarian instinct does more than spread the message
I had expected the big powers, like the US and Britain, to be dominating the front. Instead, they were right up at the back. As I looked around to try to find them, I noticed that they were positioned right beside the Vanuatu desk.
I was intrigued to see a single black diplomat manning the Vanuatu desk, and made my way up to where he was sitting. He spoke perfect English, and as I discovered, perfect French. Like everyone else from Vanuatu, he was also fluent in pidgin.
