CDC map quietly confirms the Haitian cholera epidemic started by UN peacekeepers
Aside from its own cholera epidemic, along with water, health, and disaster relief crises, in 2014 Nepal had a lower per capita GDP than Haiti.[0,1]I appreciate the desire to make the UN a truly global effort, but maybe there should be some filter where peacekeepers only help at home or in countries worse off. Otherwise, we're not only raising the risk of incidents like this and other peacekeeper scandals, but also taking soldiers away from vulnerable populations at home that already need their help.[0] http://www.tradingeconomics.com/nepal/gdp-per-capita[1] http://www.tradingeconomics.com/haiti/gdp-per-capita
