This is what most of the citizens of Tanzania don't know,it has been a problem facing
the country but it is all under the carpet,the Government has acted
upon,but is it enough??Tanzania is a source,transit and destination
country for women ,men and children for the purpose of forced labor and
sex exploitation.
Man are trafficked to South Africa to work in
mines,homes and some to become homosexual in different countries,Women
and young girls are some taken to Oman,Europe,Middle East and The Arab
Emirates to become house girls , prostitutes and many other possible
things.Few number of Somali Girls are received in Tanzania probably
daily or monthly even yearly who knows..
just 2 days passed:
Dozens of dead Ethiopian immigrants were dumped on the side of a road
in Tanzania after suffocating in a container truck along with many
others who survived, in the second fatal human trafficking incident in
the country this year.
Up to 45 bodies were dumped along a busy forest highway on Tuesday, and a further 72 were found alive and taken to hospital.
“I
haven’t seen anything like this … There were so many bodies lined up
along the road. People in passing vehicles were shocked at the sight,”
said Dodoma resident Fatuma Amir.
“When the driver discovered that
there were people dying, he decided to throw them in the forest and run
away with his vehicle,” deputy home affairs minister Pereira Ame Silima
said.
Residents in central Dodoma were the first to report the
deaths because of a foul smell. The deceased were taken to the hospital
in Dodoma city.
“It is extremely sad and unfortunate that people
die by using wrong and self-torturing means to illegally transport
themselves to other destinations,” Silima said.
Survivors told
officers that while they were locked inside the vehicle they had
screamed to the driver to stop after several people passed out due to
the lack of air, said police chief Zelothe Stephen.
When the
driver finally stopped, he ordered the migrants to dump the corpses and
clean the truck, but then sped off leaving the Ethiopians behind in a
remote area.
“A manhunt is going on for the driver of the lorry
that abandoned the Ethiopian immigrants by the roadside,” said Luppy
Kung’alo, a Tanzanian police spokesman.
The east African country
is a major transit route for migrants, used by smugglers to ferry
Somalis and Ethiopians to Europe, and as believed in this case, South
Africa.
The truck was probably on its way to the south-western
border with Zambia and Malawi, officials said. Illegal immigrants are
often smuggled by truckers from Tanzania’s commercial capital Dar es
Salaam to border towns.
Many immigrants pay agents between $3,000
and $4,000 to reach South Africa. The illegal trip passes through Kenya,
Tanzania, Malawi or Zambia, Zimbabwe or Botswana and then into South
Africa. The shipping containers that the immigrants are crammed into can
be changed several times before reaching South Africa.
In
January, 20 Somali migrants suffocated to death as they were being
smuggled in a cramped container truck through Tanzania. Their bodies
were similarly dumped on the road.
At least 47 people thought to
be illegal migrants from east Africa died when their boat capsized in a
lake in neighboring Malawi last Friday.
Hundreds of thousands of
Somalis have fled the lawless Horn of Africa country since the collapse
of a formal government two decades ago, while crippling drought hit both
Somalia and Ethiopia last year.
you can imagine how this business is run ,people make a lot of money
selling there fellow human beings,this reminds me of history classes
where my teacher used to tell us about slave trade ...is this a
flashback?not only in Tanzania ,this business runs worldwide.The Media
has tried all it can but its still on.
lets end sex trafficking,
I KNOW several people who have been sexually violated in some way, shape
or form. This is heinous, selfish and disgusting! THEY'RE KIDS!! I
mean, they've barely lived life, yet their lives are being snatched away
right before their precious little eyes. So seriously, something needs
to be done. And all this money being funneled into this FILTH FEST,
could be put to better use, especially in our world's economy right
about now. Even if they were saved, they would probably have nightmares
of their past life! The thing these kids need the most right now is
love. If I could, I would cuddle them all, wrap them in my arms, let
them cry on my chest, rock them to sleep, be there when they wake up in
the night screaming, and wipe their tears away, but I can't... not
alone. I can only pray that others are as outraged as me and that God's
love will echo through my cries for their safety and restoration.. It was never
intended for children to be held in captivity... WHY MUST THE CHILDREN
SUFFER!!! God, I'm so pissed... oh and by the way, any MONSTROUS
MUTANTS-OF-HUMANS who ever has, is or ever will lay their hands of these
children... HOW COULD YOU!!! 1.2 million children? Four bright and
shining eyes being dimmed every minute? HOW CAN WE LET THIS SLIP THROUGH
OUR FINGERS!! How could these be our standards!!! I'm young myself...
these are BABIES, my little sister's age!! They can't even defend
themselves! They are being gagged by their youth! They can't speak up
for themselves, so I WILL! It's sickening. Disgusting. Inhumane.
Twisted. Evil. Heart-wrenching... save the children... save
Your children...
CONCLUSION:
Burn..Burn ...Burn...all the victims when are found...lets stop human trafficking ,sex trafficking. NGO'S ,Governments and Law enforcements should put more effort on finding people involved in this business.
