Shocking Report Of Sexual Abuse By UN Peacekeepers

An international advocacy group has released horrifying details of sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers. The US based group say that 98 girls in Central African Republic (CAR) reported that they were sexually abused by international peacekeepers, and three girls told U.N. staff they were tied up, undressed and forced to have sex with a dog by a French military commander in 2014. The report was released on Wednesday by AIDS-Free World, an advocacy organization that exposes injustice, abuse and inequality. RT reports: The group said that MINUSCA, the UN’s peacekeeping mission in CAR, met with local leaders and victims “who reported that troops from France and Gabon have sexually abused several girls in their province.” The group cited three CAR girls who said that they, along with a fourth girl, were raped by UN peacekeepers. The girls said they “were tied up and undressed inside a camp by a military commander from the Sangaris force (the French military intervention in CAR) and forced to have sex with a dog,” the group wrote.
