The United Nations has confirmed fresh allegations of rape against its peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The organisation has been in the spotlight for months following allegations of sexual abuse by its blue helmets, mainly in the Central Africa Republic that now total more than 100.
Tanzanian troops that are part of MONUSCO's Force Intervention Brigade alongside SANDF and Malawian troops are thus far the only contingent to be implicated in the sexual abuse claims in the DRC.
It is a region left vulnerable after decades of conflict.
And those sent to keep them safe, allegedly abusing the responsibility entrusted them.
Secretary General's spokesperson Stephane Dujarric says, “The UN mission there announced that it has received allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse by members of the Tanzanian contingent of the mission's force intervention brigade in Mavivi village in the eastern part of the country.”
“According to preliminary information there are 11 allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse against a Tanzanian contingent in the area, all of them involve paternity claims,” says Dujarric.
We pressed the spokesperson on whether the 11 paternity claims were just the tip of the iceberg - similar to the spiraling allegations in the CAR.
“You are asking me to predict something I can't predict. I don't know if it's the beginning of something else, what we do know is that these specific allegations currently are the only contingent being looked at is the Tanzanian contingent. Obviously whether it's the CAR or the DRC, we would urge those who have information to come forward and we want to make sure that those members of the communities feel safe enough to come forward,” says Durarric.
The implicated soldiers have been detained awaiting further investigation while all Tanzanian troops have been confined to base.
It is still unclear when these alleged rapes took place in the DRC and given the paternity claims, the UN is trying to verify the ages of the children born to the alleged victims.
