The Daily Telegraph of London reported on Tuesday that U.N. peacekeepers and civilian staff were raping and abusing children as young as 12 in southern Sudan.
The newspaper, in a story posted on its Web site, said it had gathered accounts from more than 20 young victims in the town of Juba of U.N. civilian and peacekeeping staff forcing them to have sex.
I find it disgustingly horrific that these UN agents would rape these children, especially when the UN assigned the agents to keep the peace and help the children – and people – in this region plagued by violence, hunger, and poverty.
This just further confirms my suspicion that the UN lacks the ability to successfully eliminate hunger and poverty, and spread education and healthcare, to the world.
What do you think?
