COMO YA DIJE, será mejor que las mujeres y los niños del Líbano se preparen ante el despliegue de las tropas de las AbomiNaciones Unidas, porque ya sabemos lo que pasa allá donde van:

Reuters reported last week: The United Nations is investigating a suspected child prostitution ring involving its peacekeepers and government soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the U.N. mission said on Thursday."

Last year, one of the many stories of U.N. scandal involved peacekeepers committing terrible acts of sex abuse on children in the Congo.

This year, one of the many stories of U.N. scandal involves peacekeepers committing terrible acts of sex abuse on children in the Congo.

And no, this is not a recording.

Reuters reported last week: "The United Nations is investigating a suspected child prostitution ring involving its peacekeepers and government soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the U.N. mission said on Thursday."

After reports emerged last year that U.N. peacekeepers were trading food for sex with girls as young as 10 or 11, the world body promised to clean up its act. So, naturally, it drafted a new policy – a code of conduct for its peacekeepers. It claimed it was investigating. It sent one French peacekeeper home. (No word on whether he was allowed to eat his supper.)

And now, in the same place, within the same peacekeeping mission, the same charges have emerged yet again. U.N. peacekeepers taking advantage of their positions of power to sexually exploit the very people they are supposed to be protecting.
