For the 50+ years the UN has had peacekeepers out in the world it's been going on, sexual relations between the soldiers and the people they're set to protect. Last year Swedes were sent home for this very reason. Even though they know it's not allowed they do it, still.
I have one main question, and then some following: Why are you such horny fucks? Can you not hold it until you get home, or are you so rejected by your natives that you feel like you reached heaven when poor women are available? Nevermind world peace as long as I get laid, is that an idea the UN should stand for? Of course not. Are all inhibitions tossed out the window when put in the heart of darkness? Perhaps Joseph Conrad was on to something. The consequenses don't seem to be enough of an issue to stop the behaviour.
In Kongo Kinshasa the very center of the mission is to keep the women safe. Rape is just a war strategy, one that won't be met with guns. It's using women from two different angles. Getting them to do what you want with money or a dream of a better life somewhere else, or planting the seeds of militia in the wombs of thirteen year olds, the victims are still women. Not in one of the world's most poor countries, but the poorest country.
In lack of better alternatives we rely on help organizations as well as the UN to do the right thing, but when the good guys are breaking the rules, what can we put our faith in? And first and foremost, who will fend for those who can't fend for themselves?
