U.N. troops buy sex from teen refugees
Mothers as young as 13 need food for their babies

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.

Nope, I speak the truth, something you and most Liberals can't handle.
You know damn well that if this had involved US forces it would have been
headline news the world over.

I have to agree with you, Tony. There has been nary a peep about this
story, but there would indeed have been a lot said if it had been
Americans.

Yes yes it is called exploitation, why you bother characterizing the
Liberals is beyond Me like a different idealogy is going to make one
Superior or Inferior why look for Scapegoats?
the Liberal in Australia is the Tory or Corporate ***** of the US those
"old Born to Rule toffs" or Just give me a bigger gun and a stronger
jail, so my eco slaves can keep on as before.
I did not see much made of the prostitution/slave ring in Kosovo a
few years back.

Right Wing, Left Wing, both flying Nowhere.

There are *lots* of stories that go unreported in the US. If the US media
reported everything that happened everywhere, Americans wouldn't be nearly so
ignorant about what goes on in the rest of the world. The sad fact is that
Americans don't seem to be very interested in anything that doesn't involve
America/Americans directly.

We'd then spend even more time watching tv on the couch and
become even more bloated and obese.

I'll watch any news that doesn't involve Bush telling me what
a loser Kerry is (I always mute the tv just a Bush starts talking).
