UN Troops Buy Sex From Kids/Teens With Food

U.N. troops buy sex from teen refugees
WND | 5/25/04 |

United Nations peacekeeping troops are sexually exploiting teenage rape victims fleeing war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to an investigation by the The Independent newspaper of London.

Many of the girls, as young as 13, are mothers who give up their bodies to the U.N. soldiers in exchange for food to feed their hungry children.

The girls, who live in the Internally Displaced People camp in Bunia, northeastern Congo, already are victims of multiple rape by militiamen.

The British paper interviewed girls and aid workers who said every night girls crawl through a wire fence to an adjoining U.N. compound to sell their bodies to Moroccan and Uruguayan soldiers.

In exchange, they receive a banana or a cake.

The U.N. has pledged a "zero tolerance" attitude to cases of sexual misconduct by its respresentatives and has announced an inquiry into the allegations. But the London paper says doubts remain about the effectiveness of the probe and the ability of the U.N. to bring the perpetrators to justice.

A 13-year-old girl, Faela, told The Independent her infant son is the result of rape by militiamen in her village. Consequently, she is ostracized in the camp and has no one to take care of her.

"It is easy for us to get to the U.N. soldiers," she told the paper. "We climb through the fence when it is dark, sometimes once a night, sometimes more."

The Independent said it spoke to more than 30 girls over five days, and half said they made the journey under the fence to the compound run by MONUC, the U.N. mission in Congo.

A worker with the aid group that manages the camp, Atlas, said staff knew about the sex trade but were afraid to address it.

"There is nothing to stop them and the girls need food," he told the paper. "It is best to keep quiet, though. I am frightened that if I say something I may lose my job, and I have children of my own to feed."

The head of the U.N. in Bunia, Dominique McAdams, said she she saw no evidence of sexual violence in the camp, although she believe it was taking place.

Why would someone trade food for AIDS ?

 

[p0ink]

lets see here...US troops put prisoners in nearly the same situation they would be in if they pledged a fraternity, and there is 'OUTRAGE'

UN troops are having sex with starving children in exchange for a piece of fruit or a piece of cake, and yet there is no mention about it in the mainstream press...hmmmm!

Cause they're comitting suicide. Every sane person knows 1/4 of the Congo population has AIDS and/or STD. But hey, this guys are the representing the very "socialist" UN...

 

[p0ink]

these are the same people john kerry wants in charge of the war on terror, right? yeah, i think so....

 

[manny78]

The UN is the last thing you'd trust. This organization already proved how effective they were in the past and how much money they could suck out of you. I'm still surprise the US hasn't already kicked these fancy diplomats out the country. For God's sake, this is not Europe...

 

[Code]

Yeah, haven't you heard of the UN Food For Sex program?

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

U(nderage) N(ookie) Soldiers.

Seriously though, that's pretty sad; they(soldiers) should all be disciplined severely.

 

[PIGEON-RAT]

So they're going to launch a probe into this and discipline some soldiers... but that will do nothing to fix the problem. How about they spend the money that would go to the probe on feeding the starving kids? Then these teenage mothers would no longer WILLINGLY need to climb the fence to fuck for food.

 

[hooch]

So what frat were you in where you had to suck some cock????

 

[chrisoh]

poink, why do you keep cutting and pasting news articles into this forum? Why dont you just make one big "world news" thread and post all this junk in there instead of making a new thread for each one, not everyone wants to know or see all this.

 

[p0ink]

really? i didnt know there was any proof of 'forced cocksucking' going on in iraq.

 

[p0ink]

it wouldnt surprise me if such a program existed. the entire organization is run by criminals, poverty pimps, liars, and shitheads.

UN Peacekeepers are mostly one of two types: Canadians and African slaves. Both commit these kinds of sex crimes, though I would think it's more of an African slave thing.

Oh? You didn't know the UN Peacekeepers are really African Slaves? What happens is the UN pays a third world dictator $$ for troops. Said dictator conscripts the troops, gives them maybe 5% of what the UN is paying, puts them in the blue hatted uniform, and sends them out.

UN soldiers are USELESS. I recall one Kosovo village that was supposidly procted by DUTCH peacekeepers getting massacred as the Dutch soldiers just stayed in their barracks.

Here here for P0ink!

This is one of many reasons why I am not voting ABB.

Bush made a mistake when he decided to go into Iraq, but Kerry's idea of getting the UN to help more is a big load of shit.

where did you get this information?

 

[CFZB]

well thats just fan fucking tastic aint it.....

 

[Synpax]

where did you get this information?

I read constantly. I would estimate I read about 20x the amount of news each day than the typical news reading person. I'm subscribed to maybe 15 magazines/journals and scour news.google.com and other sources daily.

Here are some links:
UN/Dutch in Sebrenca
http://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/04/10/srebrenica.dutch/


I can't remember or find a link about the other comments, but am certain that
1) UN Canadian Peace Keepers were found responsible by the UN for spreading Aids in countries they were sent to, including through peadophelia
2) The large contingent of UN peace keepers from African nations are practically slaves where the home nation's potentate takes a check from the UN (your tax dollars at work) to support his oppresive regime and conscripts soldiers to go out and wear blue hats.

there was a scandal not too long ago that was covered up where US contractors and troops bought and sold women as young as 14 in one of the poor euro nations for use as sex toys

 

[Synpax]

Ah, here we go.

In Bosnia, more than 20 peacekeepers were ejected from the mission for theft and corruption. Nearly four dozen others were sent home after allegedly abusing mental patients at a hospital. Canadian peacekeepers were accused of rape, beatings and sexual abuse of a teenage handicapped girl.

Fortunatly for the Cannucks, there were no pictures or video. I would wager the US troops in Iraq have done nothing to compare to this stuff.

source?

 

[atlantabiolab]

I despise the UN, but I don't look at these cases as support for my dislike. If it can be shown that such instances were widely known, by high officials, and disregarded, then this would add to my disgust of this organization. But the source of my dislike of the UN comes solely from its ideas, of its basis, of its desire to control my life and that of my country.

The above instances are horrible, but probably not reflective of UN policy, more reflective of the reality of placing people in a form of authority over desparate individuals. Some men will abuse their powers, no matter what country they are from, no matter what organization. If investigations are done and punishment metted out to those who are guilty, I can have no grudge against the UN, in this instance, for it is what we would and must do.

If Synpax's assertions about African peacekeepers is correct, then this does much to damage the idea of the UN, for they have to have knowledge of this truth. If not, then they are negligent and the blame is still partially theirs.

abl,

i'm just trying to illustrate the hypocrisy here. there is 'outrage' over US actions in abu ghraib with our enemy, but yet, not only is there no 'outrage' over UN troops fucking starving children in exchange for a piece of fruit, there isn't even any real mention in the mainstream press.

I agree.
