U.N. taggers

UN vandals spray graffiti on Sahara’s prehistoric art:
Spectacular prehistoric depictions of animal and human figures created up to 6,000 years ago on Western Saharan rocks have been vandalised by United Nations peacekeepers, The Times has learnt.

Archaeological sites boasting ancient paintings and engravings of giraffes, buffalo and elephants have been defaced within the past two years by personnel attached to the UN mission, known by its French acronym, Minurso.

Graffiti, some of it more than a metre high and sprayed with paint meant for use for marking routes, now blights the rock art at Lajuad, an isolated site known as Devil Mountain, which is regarded by the local Sahrawi population as a mystical place of great cultural significance.

Many of the UN “graffiti artists” signed and dated their work, revealing their identities and where they are from. Minurso personnel stationed in Western Sahara come from almost 30 countries. They are monitoring a ceasefire between the occupying Moroccan forces and the Polisario Front, which is seeking independence.
I guess this is what they do when they're not raping women, abusing children and gun-running.

    I can just imagine the atrocities they would commit if they were deployed in the US during an "emergency"

  5. You got that right, ScottG. Around here, I have no doubt that the woods would be crawling with highly skilled ex-Fudd snipers using U.N. toadies for target practice.

  6. Have to agree with ScottG; those bright blue helmets make nice targets.
