Moon Monkey Posted October 29, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) ...even though many of the children claim their parents are still alive and many are not even from Dafur but from villages in Chad. The French charity 'Zoes Ark' had a long line of families waiting at Paris airport for orphans from Darfur, having paid around 10,000 euro to the charity for each child. They had even bandaged up healthy kids to make it look like they had been injured in Darfur attacks. "Two white men and a black man came and told me they would give me cookies and then take me home, now I am here" said one little girl Chadian premier Idriss Deby claims they are being sold to peadophile rings and for their organs and he says he will prosecute to the full extent of Chadian law and that the punishment for the french and spanish nationals involved will be severe. The charity says that tribal leaders told them that these kids were orphans from Darfur, french authorities are also investigating. Seems someone is lying and someone is making money on the misery of children in central africa. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7066770.stm Edited October 29, 2007 by Moon Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el midgetron Posted November 4, 2007 #7 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The charity has said the children are Darfur orphans, but UN workers believe many are from villages in Chad. The UN would know, they are a major cause of human trafficing and forced prostitution. Everywhere the UN goes, prostitution is the major industry to spring up around its encampments. Same is true with NATO, not to mention US companies like Dyncorp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on EARTH are you trying to pull here Midge' ? That was so off-topic as to flirt with Rule 2h, if not 2e. Oh... and are you suggesting that Dynacorp premises attract prostitues ? Can you give any EVIDENCE of that ? Just give me the nearest Dynacorp premises to Nottingham, and I shall investigate ! Err.. purely for the purposes of establishing versimilitude, obviously...

Err.. purely for the purposes of establishing versimilitude, obviously... Meow Purr. I am not "trying to pull" anything here. The topic is about human trafficing, as was my comment. Whats your issue? I'm not suggesting UN/Nato peace keepers as well as companies like Dynacorp attract prostitues, its mainsteam news. Forced prostitution is common in nations undergoing rebuilding, due in large part to the massive contingent of unaccompanied, highly paid, mostly male international aid workers sent to such countries, according to human rights workers. Martina Vandenberg, a women's rights researcher with Human Rights Watch, told Salon that during a 1999 tour, she found that "Bosnia was absolutely littered with brothels" staffed by women who had been sold as chattel for $600 to $700, "with all the rights of ownership attaching." Ben Johnston claims that buying prostitutes -- many of whom were clearly underage -- had become so common among DynCorp employees at Camp Comanche, outside Tuzla, Bosnia, that he was forced to report the problem to the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigative Command. The Army conducted an investigation into Johnston's claims and eventually compiled a significant amount of evidence implicating at least two DynCorp employees in wrongdoing involving local prostitutes. The freedom of the prostitutes was never positively determined, as investigators ultimately found that the Army did not have jurisdiction over civilian contractors and turned the case over to the Bosnian police. The Bosnian police, who were unsure whether DynCorp employees were immune from Bosnian jurisdiction under the Dayton Peace Accords, never brought charges against the men. They were sent home and fired by DynCorp after the Army reported its findings to the company. http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2002/08/06/dyncorp/ BBC: Kosovo UN troops 'fuel sex trade' CSPAN video, Cynthia McKinney Grills Rumsfeld On Dyncorp Sex Rings Telegraph.UK: UN staff accused of raping children in Sudan BBC: UN troops face child abuse claims (Haiti and Liberia) AP: UN ship 'carried child prostitutes' Telegraph.UK: UN troops accused of 'systematic' rape in Sierra Leone U.N. Slammed for Refugee Sex Scandal In 1999 employees of the company were involved in the trading of sex slaves while working in Bosnia.[22] A DynCorp employee, Kathryn Bolkovac, was fired after revealing that Dyncorp employees had frequented brothels where women had been imprisoned. wiki Edited November 4, 2007 by el midgetron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob26003 Posted November 4, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I would think that anytime troops or workers or whatever who have money are placed in situations where there is none, prostitution will happen. Look at Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topic was about Zoe's Ark, a charity that appears to have been effectively kidnapping children from Chad for money. Are Zoe's Ark a UN affiliate ? Why suddenly bring the UN into it ? Meow Purr.

el midgetron Posted November 5, 2007 #13 Share Posted November 5, 2007 The topic was about Zoe's Ark, a charity that appears to have been effectively kidnapping children from Chad for money. Are Zoe's Ark a UN affiliate ? Why suddenly bring the UN into it ? Meow Purr. Its about human trafficing and the article mentioned the UN's opinion about the true origin of these children. In response, I pointed out the UN's own connection to human trafficing for anyone who is concerned about the issue on a broader scale. You then asked for evidence, so I gave it to you. Thats it. I am not sure why you are making an issue of my post? If you have something to say, just say it. However, rather than pointing out forum rules and suggesting wrong doing, please just take your grievance up with a mod. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
