U.N. 'peacekeepers' rape women, children


With the United Nations already under fire for the Oil-for-Food mega-scandal and other corruption, sensational allegations of rampant sexual exploitation and ra-pe of young girls and women by the U.N.'s so-called "peacekeepers" and civilian staffers in the Congo is dragging the global body's reputation to an all-time low.

In a new report referring to the widespread sex scandal as "the U.N.'s Abu Ghraib," the London Times provides some specific examples, including:


* A French U.N. logistics expert in the Congo shot pornographic videos in his home, in which he had converted his bedroom into a photo studio for videotaping his sexual abuse of young girls. When police raided his home, the man was allegedly about to rape a 12-year-old girl sent to him in a law enforcement sting operation. As the Times reported, a senior Congolese police officer confirmed the bed was surrounded by large mirrors on three sides, with a remote control camera on the fourth side.

* U.N. officials are worried that the scandal, which already has netted 150 allegations of sex crimes by U.N. staffers, will explode if the pornographic videos and photos, now on sale in Congo, becoming public
"It would be a pretty big problem for the U.N. if these pictures come out," one senior official told the Times.


* Two Russian pilots paid young girls with jars of mayonnaise and jam to have sex with them, the report adds.

* U.N. "peacekeepers" from Morocco based in Kisangani – a secluded town on the Congo River – are notorious for impregnating local women and girls. In March, an international group probing the scandal found 82 women and girls had been made pregnant by Moroccan U.N. staffers and 59 others by Uruguayan staffers. One U.N. soldier accused of rape was apparently hidden in the barracks for a year.
* Congo's Minister of Defense Maj.-Gen. Jean Pierre Ondekane told a top U.N. official that all U.N. "peacekeepers" in Kisangani would be remember for would be "for running after little girls," the Times reported.


And at least two U.N. officials – a Ukrainian and a Canadian – have been forced to leave the African nation after getting local women pregnant.


Most of the sexual abuse and exploitation, says the report, involves trading sex for money, food or jobs. However, some victims say they were raped, but later given food or money to make the incident appear to have been consensual – "rape disguised as prostitution."

U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Jean-Marie Guehenno told the London paper: "The fact that these things happened is a blot on us. It's awful. What is important is to get to the bottom of it and fight it and make sure that people who do that pay for what they have done."

Despite the fact that the U.N.'s sexual code of conduct is prominently displayed on U.N. facilities Congo – forbidding sex with prostitutes or women under 18 – the U.N. continues to hand out free condoms to "peacekeepers" to protect them from AIDS.

The U.N. has promised to investigate and prosecute the widespread allegations. But, as WND reported last month, the global organization is not known for its forthrightness and candor in such internal investigations. The agency has been criticized for ignoring evidence or wrongdoing in the past – including accusations of rape and murder by "peacekeepers."
In fact, previous revelations of peacekeeping abuses have only been revealed by news organizations. Such was the case in Cambodia in the early 1990s and later in Somalia, Bosnia and Ethiopia.

THE USE OF REFERENCE DNA SAMPLES TO ESTABLISH DNA IDENTIFICATION,
CONFIRMATION AND RE-ASSOCIATION OF COMBAT CASUALTIES DURING
OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AND BEYOND


http://www.promega.com/geneticidproc/ussymp15proc/oralpresentations/foley.pdf


The Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL) supports the Armed Forces
Medical Examiner System by providing DNA analysis on human remains.  DNA testing
may be performed as the primary source of identification; as a means to supplement
other identification methods; and also for re-association of fragmented remains.  
Currently, one scientific method is required, although 2 or more is preferred, to identify a
deceased service member.  Any combination of dental records, fingerprint records
and/or a DNA comparison to a known reference may be used.  Reference bloodstain
card samples are maintained by the Armed Forces Repository of Specimen Samples for
the Identification of Remains (AFRSSIR).  AFRSSIR was established in 1991 for the sole
purpose of providing a direct reference sample for DNA comparisons to autopsy
specimens in order that no military service member casualty should ever go unidentified.  
All military personnel and select civilian employees working for the military are required
to have a DNA specimen on file at the AFRSSIR.

They were living in the community. Of course they may have girlfriends. Why does everything have to lead to r-ape? Couldn't they just got the local women pregnant, and then left? Nigerian men are known for that.

Or the Nigerian soldiers had food and money, the women probably slept with them in order to feed themselves.

Sorry, can someone please correct me if Im wrong but from the OP, the women are not complaining about being raped or not. All they want is fathers for their children. If I may conclude from this, I don't think this is a case of rape (not that Im saying soldiers don't rape during war but in this case, its not the situation). This is a case of consenting adults, only that the Nigerian soldiers have refused to own up to their responsibilities.

What we should be discussing is how to fish out the fathers to take responsibility for their child(ren).

Men have needs as well. These women could of denied these Nigerian men access. Just saying. . . undecided

It is not like they had a gun pointed to their head so that they would spread their legs. I don't blame the Nigerian soldiers. War can be stressful on men, and we have needs.

Wherever soldiers are located in the world, they will sleep with the local women. Americans did it in Vietnam and during WWII in Germany, UK and France.

Where did I say that they r-aped them.

I said visited local women. They could have sold their bodies. Men have needs! I doubt that the men forced them to do anything since they were there to help them.

Is it so hard for you to understand that they could have been their girlfriends that they left? Or they were ashawo who sold their bodies to the men?

They probably gave it freely, to the Nigerian soldiers who were protecting them. Nothing turns on a woman more than someone who can protect them.

Can't soldiers have sexual relations in foreign countries without being accused of r-ape?
Re: Nigerian Soldiers Fathered 250,000 Kids In Liberia by Nobody: 5:21am On Jul 22, 2010
Just because ra-pe wasnt reported, doesnt mean it didnt happen.

It's a complex issue, its not as easy to report as you think.

Esp during a war time.

If non of these women was r a p e d by these soldiers then I don't see what the problem is. Nigerian soldiers r a p e d thousands of Igbo women

when they invaded Biafra, that's why today you see alot of very dark skined Igbos and you wonder were the got their blackness from. lipsrsealed

Give our soldiers some credit. Liberians were thankful for Nigerian soldiers, and I heard that our fighting force was very professional in Liberia. Unlike in the conflicts within Nigeria, they behaved themselves.

Just the Nigeria swagga was too much for the Liberian women. I seen it a lot at the parties in the U.S. Dem Liberian are something else.

We don't need none of that my friend. Yes, Nigerian soldiers did r-ape a lot of Igbo women, we can't deny that ugly truth, but many Igbos were just as black even before they came to our land.

In all when it comes to women issues in Africa, we get a failing grade to this very date. Women and children are still threated as sub-beings. Imagine someone saying things like "our men have needs", not even considering the fact that these "needs" lead to producing of helpless humans who these men ought to be made to care for. Can the same get away with getting those "needs" met in places like america or western world without also being forced in some way to deal with the consequence of that release?

Seriously, these "youths of today" make me cringe sometimes. I can't believe a person can say it is Ok for a soldier to offer a hungry woman food in exchange for sex . . . isn't that what we term abuse?

Don't we all have needs. These women could have kept their legs closed. Why should we blame the men? These women should have known that these soldiers would only be here temporarily. They were just having fun and getting their needs fulfilled. And I am pretty sure the women had no problem when they were doing the act.

I am getting tired of women demonizing men. It takes two to create a child. It is not the man's fault, it is the woman for allowing him to get his pleasure.
