UNITED
NATIONS, May
16 -- UN
Peacekeeping
under Herve
Ladsous
has allowed
civilians to
be killed with
no reaction.
This is in a UN
report
presented in
the Budget
Committee,
even blandly
written up by
Ladsous'
scribes
without
mentioning who
is
responsible.
But consider
these since
Ladsous took
over the
Department of
Peacekeeping
Operations in
2011:
August
- September
2012: Attacks
on civilians
by armed group
in Katoyi,
North Kivu

>112.

disputed
access to gold
mine
(UNAMID)
Killed: 100
Action under

After:

officials
transported to
area to
“defuse
tensions”...

Communities
and
national

engaged to

August 2013
Intercommunal
fighting in
Eastern Darfur
(UNAMID)
Killed:
500-600 Action
under Ladsous?
No. After:
“Technical and
logistical
support”
provided...
And
this is not
even including
the more
recently
failures in
South Sudan,
and rapes by
Ladsous'
partners in
the Congolese
Army in
Minova, and
subsequent
impunity. Ladsous refused to answer Press
questions
on any
of
this. Why
is he still in
his post?
