Un Sex Scandal Update

Sphere: Related Content

The increasingly inept and rotting (if they possibly could be more inept) UN is the news again:

A scandal about the sexual abuse of Congolese women and children by U.N. officials and peacekeepers intensified Friday with the broadcast of explicit pictures of a French U.N. worker and Congolese girls and his claim that there was a network of pedophiles at the U.N. mission in Congo.ABC News' "20/20" program showed pictures taken from the computer of a French U.N. transport worker. The hard drive reportedly contained thousands of photos of him with hundreds of girls. In one frame, a tear can be seen rolling down the cheek of a victim.

A tear running down the cheek of a rape victim who has probably seen her share of horrid things prior to the UN arriving. I bet she even had some hope that things would be better for her and her country because Kofi's army was coming in to to help them. I imagine that any hope she had was washed away by that tear on her cheek.

Rape, pedophilia and pornography, the new resume of the UN.

Update: Michelle Malkin has a round-up on this scandal including this from the Times UK in December:

In July 2002 the rebel commander Major-General Jean Pierre Ondekane, who subsequently became Minister of Defence in a postwar transitional government, told a top UN official that all that Monuc (the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo) would be remembered for in Kisangani was “for running after little girls”.

Nice legacy, UN.
