– Gang rapes, castrations and a 12-year-old boy forced to have sex with his grandmother: UN report reveals horrific abuses by South Sudanese government soldiers and rebels amid civil war:

A UN report has revealed the horrific human rights abuses committed in South Sudan’s five-year civil war – including the story a woman who says her 12-year-old son was forced to have sex with his grandmother to stay alive.

The latest report was released on Friday by a United Nations commission in the hopes of one day finding justice.

– White Hawk Down – UN Helicopter Shot Down In South Sudan (ZeroHedge, Aug 26, 2014):

Time for some more ‘humanitarian’ airtsrike non-boots-on-the-ground ‘advisors’… As AP reports, The U.N. mission in South Sudan says one of its helicopters has crashed, and a U.N. official told The Associated Press that it appears the aircraft was shot down. While not quite Mogadishu (yet), the UN is “deeply concerned” about the crew as the widespread and massive violence between rebels and the national army in South Sudan that has raged since December continues to rage.
