We discuss the sacking of the head of the UN's peacekeeping mission in Central African Republic amid allegations of sexual abuse by peacekeepers. In a report released this week, Amnesty International alleged that peacekeepers killed a 16-year-old boy and his father without provocation and raped a 12-year-old girl in separate incidents in the capital Bangui. Two days later, Ban Ki Moon said Babacar Gaye was out of a job.
