UN
Calls Haitian
IDPs
"Promiscuous,"
Unlike
Ladsous, Will
Amos Answer?
By

UNITED
NATIONS,
January 6 --
The UN churns
out millions
of words as if
on auto-pilot,
but every
once in a
while there is
one that makes
or should make
one stop and
take notice.
The UN
has written
that there is
"promiscuity
in most of the
camps"
in Haiti.
This
is not from a
leaked e-mail.
This is a
formal, glossy
report by
the UN
Office for the
Coordination
of
Humanitarian
Affairs, here
at Page 3.
The OCHA
report
goes on to
cite "one of
such camps,
Gaston Margon
in
the Carrefour
commune south
of
Port-au-Prince,"
but mentions
"358,000
people still
in camps."
So
how many of
these 358,000
Haitians is
the UN saying
are
"promiscuous"?
The
report was tweeted
on January 5
by the UN
Department for
Peacekeeping
Operations
-- the same
DPKO which
almost
incontrovertibly
brought
cholera
to Haiti,
via unscreened
peacekeepers.
Inner
City Press has
asked DPKO
chief Herve
Ladsous what
steps if any
he
has taken to
try to avoid
bringing
cholera to
another
country.
Ladsous
refused to
answer that
question,
nor questions
about 126
rapes in late
November in
Minova by
DPKO's
partners in
the Congolese
Army. Video
here.
OCHA
chief Valerie
Amos did take
Inner City
Press'
question about
the
rapes in
Minova, and
has said she
will check and
get back with
answers,
including to
the question
asked of her
and Ladsous:
which
units of the
Congolese army
were in Minova
during the 126
rapes, and
does the UN
still work
with them.
But
now Baroness
Amos may also
want to answer
and act on
this question:
is OCHA really
calling
Haitians in
Internally
Displaced
Person's
camps
promiscuous?
