Amnesty International is accusing UN peacekeepers of indiscriminately killing a 16-year-old boy and his father and raping a 12-year-old girl in separate incidents in Central African Republic, the latest in a series of allegations against peacekeepers there.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is “personally dismayed and disappointed,” his spokesman said Tuesday. “We would like to emphasize once more that no misconduct of this nature will be tolerated,” Stephane Dujarric told reporters.

Amnesty International said the two incidents on Aug. 2 and 3 occurred as the peacekeepers from Rwanda and Cameroon were carrying out an operation in the capital, Bangui. UN peacekeepers have been in the country since September to try to calm unprecedented, deadly violence between Christians and Muslims.

And Obama is setting up the UN to run the United States.

He went to the UN for approval of his Iran deal-—and NOT the US Congress.

Please remind me again why a one world government under UN would be any better than the patchwork of dictatorships and sortof-democracies we have now.

A possibility, both AI and the UN have IslamoFascist, Progressive, Socialist, Authoritarian, One World, anti Christian, anti White agenda goals, and they seem to be able to only find human "rights" violations supporting those goals.

This could be disinformation to sow disbelief of the persecution of Christians by the Noble Muslim.
