UN-Backed Goons Cause More Civilian Casualties Than Damage to Rebels in Congo
It’s tempting to cut moonbats slack, on the grounds that they simply have no clue because they spend their lives immersed in liberal propaganda. But even if you had no source of information other than progressive AP, you would know that a world run by the UN would not be a pleasant place to live. Here’s what our nascent global government has been up to in the Congo:
A U.N.-backed Congolese military operation to oust rebels from eastern Congo has caused more civilian casualties than damage to rebels, with more than 1,400 people deliberately killed over a nine-month period, human rights groups said Monday.
Human Rights Watch said it had documented “vicious and widespread” attacks against civilians by soldiers and rebels between January and September. Soldiers being fed and supplied with ammunition by the United Nations have killed civilians, gang-raped girls and cut the heads off some young men they accuse of being rebels or supporting the enemy, groups said.
“For every rebel combatant disarmed, one civilian has been killed, seven women and girls have been raped, six houses have been burned and destroyed and 900 people have been forced to flee their homes,” British-based organization Oxfam said.
Human Rights Watch said it documented the killings of 732 civilians between January and September by the Congolese army and troops from neighboring Rwanda fighting alongside it. In the same period, it counted 701 civilians killed by the rebels they are fighting.
“Some victims were tied together before their throats were, according to one witness, ’slit like chickens.’ The majority of the victims were women, children, and the elderly,” the group said.
Your tax dollar at work.
Human Rights Watch said that the 19,000 peacekeepers in Congo — the biggest U.N. force in the world — must “immediately cease all support to the current military operation” until it can ensure there are no violations of international humanitarian law. The group also called for the U.N. to find “a new approach to protect civilians.”
“The U.N. peacekeepers are being put in an appalling situation where they are supporting an army that is attacking its own population,” it said.
That is, when the peacekeepers aren’t attacking the population themselves.
By all means, let’s gradually turn over American sovereignty to these goons, through climate change treaties and stealthier attacks like the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It’s not right that only Africans should be butchered and raped for the greater glory of world government.

That is a feature not a flaw. They have to keep those peace keepers employed and working for the UN, so they try to cause more people to join the rebellion.
Human Rights Watch are moonbats and therefore an untrustworthy source.
