London - The United Nations has covered up crimes by UN troops in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is a claim made by the BBC, which says that it has confidential sources within the UN.
The BBC says that in 2007, the UN conducted an investigation into accusations that some of its Indian and Pakistani peacekeepers had smuggled gold and ivory and sold arms to Congolese militias. The UN concluded that a peacekeeper had smuggled gold but that there was no evidence of arms trading.
But the BBC is now reporting that the UN employees who conducted the investigation have been forced to quite their jobs for political reasons, and that there was indeed evidence that peacekeepers had supplied arms to the militias.

Since no US troops are involved, this is the last you’ll hear of it.
The UN is a crime.
That's exactly what I thought...lol.
