The director of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic has resigned under pressure following a new round of accusations of sexual abuse and excessive use of force by peacekeeping forces. Earlier this week, Amnesty International accused peacekeepers of raping a 12-year-old girl in the capital city of Bangui. The organization also accused peacekeepers of killing a child and his father. This comes on the heels of earlier accusations that French soldiers deployed as peacekeepers had been trading sex with young boys for food and money at a displaced persons’ camp near Bangui.
