South Sudanese troops entered Terrain hotel and went on a killing,raping, and looting spree some of which were western aids. All while some of the United Nation peacekeepers were stationed less than a mile away and didn't do anything despite the civilians please.
I believe that the peacekeepers should've gone to help the civilians because they had the ability to do so as well as weapons and they had no reason not to.

  1. I don't understand why the United Nation "peacekeepers" did nothing to help. What is there role, if not to help? This is inexcusable.

  2. I can't believe that these "peacekeepers" didn't come and help. I would not say they were doing a great job. While they are just less than a mile away, some bad things are happening! These peacekeepers should be fired. They didn't "keep the peace." If people need real help, it's their job to do something about it.

  3. I can't imagine myself not helping them, even if I wasn't a "peacekeeper". Killing, raping, and looting?? Not just one wrong action but multiple...This is horrible on so many levels.
