SLAVE TRADE

MODERN SLAVE TRADE Unemployed people from Asia travel in unauthorized boats , to disembark in Europe . They go in boats , without any protection. One boat sank in the Mediterranean sea. Over three hundred people died. The body of a five year old girl was washed ashore . Her photo has become a symbol of the boat people. People displaced from Syria and Turkey also travel in boats. Many come from Lydia. They all live as refugees because they have no passport. There are men who provide forged passport and charge 70 dollars! The Europeans are building walls to keep them away As the boatmen extract money from the people , it is a trade , as in earlier centuries in the US. There is the flesh trade all over the Indian subcontinent. Women are sold in Arabia too. They are slaves, voluntarily recruited ; but slaves they are , as they cannot escape from the clutches of the Mafia. Is there any end in sight?
