Sex scandal in Congo threatens to engulf UN's peacekeepers
By Jonathan Clayton and James Bone
They should be rebuilding the country, but foreign workers face serious accusations

HOME-MADE pornographic videos shot by a United Nations logistics expert in the Democratic Republic of Congo have sparked a sex scandal that threatens to become the UN’s Abu Ghraib.
The expert was a Frenchman who worked at Goma airport as part of the UN’s $700 million-a-year effort to rebuild the war-shattered country. When police raided his home they discovered that he had turned his bedroom into a studio for videotaping and photographing sex sessions with young girls.

The bed was surrounded by large mirrors on three sides, according to a senior Congolese police officer. On the fourth side was a camera that he could operate from the bed with a remote control.

When the police arrived the man was allegedly about to rape a 12-year-old girl sent to him in a sting operation. Three home-made porn videos and more than 50 photographs were found.

The case has highlighted the apparently rampant sexual exploitation of Congolese girls and women by the UN’s 11,000 peacekeepers and 1,000 civilians at a time when the UN is facing many problems, including the Iraqi “oil-for-food” scandal and accusations of sexual harassment by senior UN staff in Geneva and New York.

Now there is a telling statement. Why doesn't the conspiracy crowd speculate that the UN is propogating war in the 3rd world to gain building contracts?

They do it all the time to the US.
 
What The Fuck Is This World Coming To! Fucking Liberals And Commies That Control The Un. Its Time That We Have Kofi Annaaaaan Executed For His Mismanagemen Of The Un, Resulting In Millions Being Enslaved And Killed.
 
I think that the article is correct in that France and others are using the United Nations to do another kind of colonialism. It's the only way France can be a world power.
