people don't comment on THIS story. very sad indeed. Assuming people living over here know about Japan's history with child porn, I am shocked that there are not any more remarks supporting this courageous man.

NGOs abusing the locals. The local governments are not strong enough to stop it. The UN has no apparatus to police itself.

What if it happened in America? Or in any of about a dozen countries with the diplomatic clout to push back?

Well. It did not happen in America, did it? It is never a good time to live in a third world country, but when the charities and NGOs are abusing people, things have gotten really rotten, haven't they?

In July 2014, Kompass leaked a confidential U.N. report on the sexual abuse of children by peacekeepers in the Central African Republic to prosecutors in France—the former colonial power has a force there—claiming the U.N. was taking too long to act.

A study by independent experts released in December 2015 found “gross institutional failure” by the U.N. in the way it responded to the abuse allegations.

It reported that children as young as nine were encouraged to take part in sex in exchange for food or money in the war-torn CAR.

Kompass was suspended for leaking the internal report on the abuse but the independent study exonerated him, IRIN said.

Hello. We're from the UN and we are here to help ourselves to your children. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
