A recent report from the UN Secretary-General and Save the Children UK claims that peacekeepers and aid workers have been sexually abusing children in war zones, especially those in Africa.

While Uganda is not listed as one of the affected areas, the abuse of children, especially those in already-dire situations, is detestable.
Shalom.
