Guards at Prince Harry's Africa conservation charity face new killing and torture allegations

[MAIL] An African conservation charity of which Prince Harry is a director is facing further accusations of human rights abuses

…the dear boy has never had to learn to judge the character of those in whom he reposes trust…

that include extra-judicial killings and violent beatings.
Same sort of headlines as Feb 1965. Nothing much changes in that part of the world.
Fresh allegations of brutality in Zambia by rangers jointly managed by African Parks have emerged following the MoS's front-page report in January about armed guards engaged in beatings, rape and torture of the Baka tribal people in the Republic of Congo.

The charity — which manages parks in 12 African countries, with 1,400 guards patrolling protected land almost the size of Britain — claims that it saves wildlife by working with local communities.
Park management is it? Well, if you say so.
And prior to the allegations being made, Prince Harry, the charity's president for six years until he joined the governing board of directors last year, boasted: 'The African Parks model is exactly what conservation should be about — putting people at the heart of the solution.'

But now allegations of brutality have surfaced in Zambia's Bangweulu Wetlands, a conservation area almost the size of Devon that is home to 50,000 indigenous people who have the right to 'sustainably harvest' natural resources such as fish, antelope and rabbits.
Allegations of "brutality?" How strangely uncommon.
