These are your holier-than-thou European debauchers showing their true colors. Come on, Jean and Kofi, let's hear the call for catching the culprits and dealing with these inexcusable crimes. What time is the press conference?
Four French peacekeepers are being investigated over accusations of sexual abuse against a girl in Ivory Coast.
The French army said it received a complaint that the four abused the girl at Madinani village, in northern Ivory Coast, earlier this month.
Neither the girl's age or identity, nor the soldiers' names, were disclosed.
Some 4,000 French soldiers are serving alongside 6,000 UN troops in the former French colony, which has been divided by a two-and-a-half year rebellion.
The French said there was as yet no evidence to confirm the allegations.
"We will treat this affair with the greatest seriousness if the facts are established," army spokesman Colonel Henry Aussavy told Reuters news agency.
It is the first allegation of its type against French soldiers in Ivory Coast. UN peacekeepers have recently been accused of sex crimes in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
