According to BBC News, at least four UN peacekeepers have been involved in the rape of a woman in Mali.
A UN report claims that, the soldiers have been identified as being among 1,500 Chadian troops serving with Minusma. The UN has urged Chad to investigate the incident and take disciplinary action against the men.
The assault is believed to have happened last Thursday in the northern city of Gao.
The woman is thought to have come forward seeking medical help from the UN immediately after the attack. This triggered the UN force to launch an investigation.
A Minusma spokesman in Bamako said it was for the Chadian authorities to decide on what disciplinary action they should take against the men. He said the victim would be offered medical, psychological and legal support but not financial compensation.
