UN: we can't be everywhere
Updated on 08 November 2008
The head of the UN peacekeeping force in Congo defends the UN against accusations that it failed to prevent a massacre of civilians.
"We cant be everywhere all the time," said the head of the UN peacekeeping force in Congo.
On Thursday Channel 4 News revealed harrowing evidence of mass killings of civilians in the village of Kiwanja in the North Kivu province, a mile and half from a UN base.
A refugee camp housing up to 30.000 people was also completely cleared without any intervention by the peacekeepers.
The accompanying report contains distressing images.
