UN's sex abuse scandal may be worse than previously reported
The Washington Post (via Hot Air) says that the case of child rape by UN peacekeepers warmongers may be even more severe than was previously thought:
A 14-year-old breast-feeds her 3-month-old son in Bangui, Central African Republic. She says she was raped and made pregnant by a U.N. peacekeeper from Burundi.Truly disgusting. And the worst part is that the UN rather unsurprisingly downplayed everything:
“A horrible thing,” says an elfin 14-year-old girl, who describes how a Burundian soldier dragged her into his barracks and raped her, leaving her pregnant with the baby boy she now cradles uncomfortably…
“Peacekeeper babies,” the United Nations calls such infants.
But the victims appear to be more numerous than the United Nations has reported so far. In a corner of the capital city known as Castors, near the U.N. headquarters in the country, The Washington Post interviewed seven women and girls who described contact with peacekeepers that violated U.N. regulations against sexual exploitation and abuse. Five of them said they exchanged sex for food or money — sometimes as little as $4 — while their country was rocked by civil war and families were going hungry. Only two had reported their cases to the United Nations.In other worse, the UN's overlords don't consider this a serious issue at all, and would rather sweep it all under the rug. This is just why sane people must distance themselves from the UN.
Five of the seven interviewed by The Post said they had borne the children of their abusers. The 14-year-old mother said she was assaulted by a Burundian soldier, but the United Nations recorded her case not as rape but as “transactional” sex, in which acts are exchanged for money or food.
