FILE - In this Friday, Sept. 2, 2016 file photo, United Nations peacekeepers from Rwanda wait to escort members of the U.N. Security Council as they arrive at the airport in the capital Juba, South Sudan. A new report says United Nations peacekeepers fled their posts when fighting erupted in South Sudan's capital in July, then used tear gas on frightened civilians who sought shelter within the U.N. base. The report on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2016 by the U.S.-based Center for Civilians in Conflict adds to a growing list of incidents where peacekeepers have been accused of failing to carry out their mandate in South Sudan.
