U.S., U.N. Stood by While South Sudan Troops Raped, Beat Aid Workers

South Sudanese troops ravaged through a hotel complex frequented by foreign aid workers last month while a United Nations force stood by in a neighboring area and the U.S. Embassy did not act despite repeated pleas for help to both.

The Associated Press reported Monday:

On July 11, South Sudanese troops, fresh from winning a battle in the capital, Juba, over opposition forces, went on a nearly four-hour rampage through a residential compound popular with foreigners, in one of the worst targeted attacks on aid workers in South Sudan’s three-year civil war. They shot dead a local journalist while forcing the foreigners to watch, raped several foreign women, singled out Americans, beat and robbed people, and carried out mock executions, several witnesses told The Associated Press.

For hours throughout the assault, the U.N. peacekeeping force stationed less than a mile away refused to respond to desperate calls for help. Neither did embassies, including the U.S. Embassy.

I'm sure that the story told from the other side is much different. Not right, but different.
The frustration of not being able to intervene in events like these is maddening.

The U.N. must be disbanded. It's agenda is no longer one that is for the good of mankind. It's current agenda that promotes global warming/climate change, illegal immigration, and support of the infiltration of Muslim refugees into Christian nations serves to promote the destruction of mankind.
