News:
French soldiers working as peacekeepers for the UN in the Central African Republic have been accused of raping and abusing desperately poor young children in exchange for food.
According to an alleged internal report seen by The Guardian entitled “Sexual Abuse on Children by International Armed Forces”, children told human rights investigators they were sexually exploited, including rape and sodomy, in the capital Bangui in early 2014.
One nine-year-old boy reportedly described how French soldiers at a camp for internally displaced people forced him and his friend to perform a sex act when they went to look for food.
The leaking of the alleged report via the advocacy group Aids Free World comes as the UN Security Council approved maintaining the international force in the Central African Republic for another year. In March it approved measures to provide an additional 1,000 personnel to the 12,000-strong peacekeeping force, which has been tasked with protecting the most vulnerable since it was set up in late 2013 following an unprecedented surge in violence between Christians and Muslims.
But besides the potential implications in the country for the report on abused children, it also threatens to cause a diplomatic row in Europe after a senior UN aid worker was suspended for allegedly passing it on to the French authorities.
Anders Kompass, a Swedish international, has been told, “It was his duty to know and comply” with UN protocols that meant the report should have remained confidential, the Guardian reported.
An investigation by the French into allegations “of a very serious nature” is reportedly under way in the Central African Republic, while a spokesperson for the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed to The Guardian that a probe into “the leaking of confidential information by a staff member” was ongoing.
Comment:
The very notion of UN troops as ‘peacekeepers’ is an oxymoron. It’s similar to saying a ‘bad angel’ or ‘Islamic Democracy’. The UN has been a tool of western interference since its inception, where, under the guise of codifying rules of warfare and replacing oppression with security. It has entered almost every nation on earth and established the presence of its member states, instigating an unconditional drive for secularism, capitalism and liberal democracy, whilst simultaneously launching unabated attacks upon any remnants of the Islamic political Aqeedah.
Incidents as that of the French troops in the CAR are not unusual at all. In fact sexual misconduct by UN personnel has proven to be endemic, and is an accepted problem in every mission around the world. Internal investigations by refugee support agencies have documented cases of rape, pedophilia and prostitution by UN troops in over thirty countries, including, Burundi, Liberia, Congo, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Bosnia and Cambodia.
Such behavior is accepted as normal for those of low morality, and is conveniently upheld by the inferior value of secular liberalism; assigning the freedom to indulge in any form of sensual gratification one chooses, despite its consequences.
It’s also worth noting the suspension of the Swiss aid worker for leaking the confidential information. The UN would rather waste valuable time and resources filing an investigation into Anders Kompass, than address and finally end these major crimes against innocent civilians, already suffering from injustices, poverty, little or no access to healthcare and all manner of hardship. The UN true to its usual stance enjoins batil (falsehood) in a subversive manner, whilst seeking to overlook its own evils, and continues to police the world with its greedy and corrupt agenda.
This is yet another proof if any was even needed, of the inability of western nations to produce any form of cohesion and security in our lands. They lack the ideological will to actually improve the nations they occupy, let alone establish justice; and seek to serve their own interests of establishing a military presence, and securing oil, gas and mineral wealth contracts, under the pretexts of returns for their assistance.
So O Muslims, there is no future for us without the Islamic Khilafah, it is the only system of justice based on Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى Sovereign Word. Under the Khilafah, nations were not robbed by leaders who left them impoverished; the State divided funds amongst the people as equal owners and heirs to the natural wealth. Nor did people fear oppression from Muslims as the state spanned the African and Asian continents; rather they willingly accepted the political and spiritual Aqeeda of Islam as a superior way of life.
وَلَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلًا
