Malawian girls 'forced into sex slavery'
A slave ring in a remote area in northern Malawi in which girls from poor families - some as young as 12 - are being forced into slavery for survival has been uncovered.

The Malawi Human Rights Commission said in a report released on Sunday that poor parents, who couldn't look after their children, were forcing the girls into slavery, particularly in the northern border districts of Karonga and Chitipa.

The MHRC's principal investigations officer, Harry Kambwembwe, who authored the report after two years of research, said some parents gave away their daughters as a way of paying off loans and other debts they had incurred.

I can also prove that Ramos, Carlyle Group, thus Bush has knowlege of this, allowed and personally profited from like activities while President of the Philippines. (Just give me a 60 MInutes crew.)

I have personally seen girls in these conditions of forced sex slavery. Though the doors of the houses they are in are not locked or barred they never run away because they would be tortured by their masters. They'd be killed only if they're lucky. If I've seen this and most every backpacker has seen this then surely the CIA, FBI, Bush Family (with 2 Presidents), and local country Government knows this. ALL the local citizens know this is happening. Guess everyone but Fineman, Russert, Woodwar, Limbaugh, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Asscroft knows this is happening.

1. And the only reason this trade exists ...
is because there are people willing to pay for this service.

Supply / Demand

4. For the GOP it's not worth sending troops to stop it. They can only
make money from oil.

7. open slave markets on the street in Dakar, Senagal where Bush..
was in africa.. they were there in 73 when i was in the Peace Corps, they are STILL there, so while bush was touring the slave museum, the Arabs were selling the children of the black Africans for about $12 a head down town. it is common knowledge, a petition was just read in the UN to try to stop it.
