Monday, August 21, 2006 - UN Peacekeepers Allegedly Using Child Prostitutes.

The UN is investigating peacekeeping troops in the Congo for potentially using child prostitutes. Lovely, peacekeeping troops having sex with minors.

A UN probe last year found that peacekeepers in DR Congo had sexually abused girls as young as 13. Afterwards it banned its troops from having sex with locals. The investigation revealed that UN peacekeepers had used food and money to pay girls to have sex with them.
That is so fucked. There are some 17, 000 peacekeeping troops in the Congo currently.

In the latest allegations from South Kivu province, the girls involved are reported to have said that most of their clients were government troops and civilians, but that they also included peacekeepers.



I mean I suppose it was lofty to believe that peacekeeping troops would somehow be different from other troops, who tend to be very comfortable engaging in local *comforts* if you will.
Why isn't our media reporting these important issues instead of kissing Bush's ass and 24 / 7 coverage of Mr Karr! Why is these suffering allowed damnit? Is it because will still have a racist country that these children are Black Africans so we just do not care???? Sorry but their suffering is as important as anyone else's!
