UN Peacekeeping Chief In CAR Forced To Resign

Posted by admin | 9 years ago | 3,125 times



The Head of the United Nations Peace Keeping Mission in the Central African Republic has been forced to resign over the forces' handling of a series of allegations on sexual and other misconducts.
 
UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon told newsmen on Wednesday he had accepted the resignation of Babacar Gaye of Senegal.
 
Ban Ki Moon said “I will not tolerate any action that causes people to replace trust with fear. Those who work for the United Nations must uphold our highest deals.
 
 Yet the outrageous and indecent actions of a few people tarnish the heroic work of tens of thousands of UN peacekeepers and personnel.
 
Meanwhile the action comes a day after Amnesty International accused UN peacekeepers in Central African Republic’s capital of killing a 16 years old boy, his father, and raping a 12 year old girl in a separate incident this month.
