Congo to recall UN peacekeepers over sex abuse allegations
short by Nandini Sinha / on Thursday, 22 June, 2017
The Republic of Congo will recall around 600 peacekeepers from the Central African Republic over sexual abuse allegations, the UN announced on Wednesday. Notably, 120 troops of the same contingent were sent back in 2016 over similar allegations. In a leaked memo, the peacekeepers' commander had remarked that "the battalion is no longer trustable because of lack of discipline".
