I think it took a while for the UN to admit responsibility. Can’t imagine how it’d feel as one of those peacekeepers.

They probably didn't care. They were busy raping their way through Haiti at the time.

Those famous Nepalese rapists

EDIT: Cholera was from Nepalese soldiers. Child rape/ sex slavery was from from Sri Lankans, Gabonese and soldiers from Burundi. Fuck everything about this.

I did not know that. I seem to recall that epidemiologists had traced the cholera outbreak to a company of Nepalese soldiers serving as UN forces.

I Googled your information. Incredibly bleak.

To me, the bleakest thing is that they caught them fucking 7 year olds and most of them faced zero punishment. They just got sent back to sri lanka.

The problem is that no one wants to get stuck on peacekeeping duty, so it ends up being mostly populated by 3rd world soldiers whose nations need the stipend money. Needless to say, their healthcare and legal systems are often less than stellar.
