UN fears more peacekeeper scandals (moved from ATSNN)

The UN is afraid, that the peace keeping soldiers abused their power in African countries. Earlier this years they have arrested six memebers of UN forces, that have abused young women in Congo.
But now new information came out about abuse in other countries: Burundi, Liberia, Ivory Coast and also the island of Haiti.



The undersecretary general for peacekeeping, Jean-Marie Guehenno said that they have avoided revelaing the countries, that were hesitating to court martial the guilty troops.
In Congo there are currently 11.000 military personnel, that help to keep peace in this country. This is the largest UN peace keeping force today, out of 60.000 UN troops stationed in about 16 international missions world wide.

and that i should fix it.

but it works for me.
does anyone else have the problem with the link?

A secondary link may help.
Just a thought.

Yeah, perhaps another source other than aljezeera would be usefull...not that I agree, but just using that as the source is going to get your post flamed.

and i cannot answer to them.

Not sure....but your best bet would be Banshee who is on now and who has always helped me out when needed.
