UN peacekeepers accused of sex abuse in Central Africa
 [Iran Press TV] UN peacekeepers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... have been accused of sexually abusing four children who were living in a camp for displaced civilians in the Central African Republic. The four victims were sexually abused between 2014 and 2015, UN front man Farhan Haq told news hounds on Tuesday. The UN mission in the Central African Republic has been hit by a wave of allegations of sex abuse by its peacekeepers, whose mandate is to protect civilians in the strife-torn country. "These four allegations involve peacekeepers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo," Haq said. UN officials received information about the allegations from aid groups on February 11 who reported that the four minors were living at Ngakobo camp, in the Ouaka prefecture of the Central African Republic. UN Secretary General  the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon fired the head of the 10,000-strong the United Nations...the Oyster Bay money pit... Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) force in August over the mounting number of cases, but the allegations have continued to surface.
