‘The Untied Nations says European troops deployed to the Central African Republic (CAR) have sexually abused children.

The UN said in a statement on Friday that peacekeepers from Georgia, France and another unnamed European country allegedly committed crimes, including rapes, mostly in 2014 in the country.

The UN staff said they interviewed a girl and a boy who were aged 7 and 9 respectively when they were allegedly abused in 2014 by French “Sangari” troops.

The girl said she had been abused by French soldiers “in exchange for a bottle of water and a sachet of cookies.”‘
