eh .. UN anon here... to clarify: UNICEF (like the WFP, UNHCR and a whle lot of agencies) are, at the end of the day, entities / part of the UN.

I think that we need some sort of forum like the UN but I think years of working, have led me to be a tiny bit cynical about the trumpet blowing that all of the agencies do. UNICEF is actually one of the more productive UN agencies on the ground tbh.

To the best of my knowledge, no agency/organization is obliged to publically announce visits or anything of that nature .. UN / UNICEF probably have their own rules. I can assure you that many times, the organisation I worked with did cross borders and the only people who might have been aware, were the bosses in the HQ.

That set aside... back to Mr Hiddleston. :) I can only guess that they / he are waiting for an opportunity to raise the profile of the country with his visit. Perhaps it was better in terms of security, that he wasn't blogging everything he saw there. Perhaps he was a bit upset by what he saw there.. who knows... perhaps the S Sudanese kids were just really glad to have a visit from Loki. If they had electricity... and a telly. It just seems rather funny that the details of his visit were actually out there for 6 months before anyone got wind of it in the fandom :)

I am really not sure what to make of the script .. I can only guess that as a working actor who still has to audition for parts, he is happy to accept what he can get (which is fair enough) and / or he is really keen to break out of a stereotype English uptight character. Whatever the case, I would be confident that he will bring the same class, professionalism and enthusiasm that he has shown for his other projects so far.. fingers, toes and nose crossed..
