French prosecutors have opened an investigation into claims that French peacekeepers raped children as young as nine in the Central African Republic, a judicial source said.

The move followed claims reported in a newspaper that a senior UN aid worker had been suspended for leaking an internal report into abuse by French soldiers against children at a centre for internally displaced people in the capital Bangui.

The report was commissioned by the UN office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and prepared by advocacy group Aids Free World.


'The regular sex abuse by peacekeeping personnel uncovered here and the United Nations' appalling disregard for victims are stomach-turning, but the awful truth is that this isn't uncommon,' Paula Donovan, co-director of Aids Free World, told The Guardian.

The UN's instinctive response to sexual violence in its ranks - ignore, deny, cover up, dissemble -must be subjected to a truly independent commission of inquiry with total access,' she added.

The report was commissioned amid fears of sexual abuse against children last year as tens of thousands were displaced by fighting and unrest in the country.

Yes, but at least they didn’t marry them.

Thoughts?

Don’t be impertinent, Honky. Unless they’re Muslims, there’s nothing to think.
