WORTH NOTHING - BUT AS CHILDREN FOR PLEASURE OR AS DEAD FOR THEIR ORGANS - THEY ARE WORTH A FORTUNE!

Afghanistan has many difficulties beside the present situation with a ongoing war, with the growing movement of the Taliban and an ongoing disagreement with the United States about Afghanistans affaires.

In this matter children remain to be the most vulnerable and delicate balance of a society, but not in Afghanistan, here they can be sacrificed in many forms. When we are talking about a society children are the foundation stone of a dream of a culture as well as a community that a society represents. Most of the democratic countries considers them to be the building bricks on which the society grows, whereas some considers them to be ”elements of pleasure, cheap labour and entertainment.” If such situation prevails in a community, such society suffers from the worst degenerative disease ever dreamt of, and Afghanistan is only one exampel of that. ”Trafficking” amongst children, girls and boys has turned to be one major menaces of a developing society. It has turned into one of the major breeding grounds after the illeagal narcotics trafficking in the already war torned and socio-economivally dilapidated nation.

    

Using children as an element for pleasure and entertainment, as an one of many tradtitons is not legal and had been banned by the Taliban administrators after 1996. In some reports, in places like Bano has given that even ”occupying forces” from the west had been taking ecources to such pleasures and entertainment 2001.
It did not show that they have been using them in sexual services. It is today more common that afghan children are beeing kidnapped on their way to school or while playing in parks or playgrounds. Even the Afghan interior minister has given that impression, that both boys and girls are abducted for both domestic and international markets, to be used for sex and labor, or now lately to provide ”human organs.” The children who are abducted, boys and girls, are kidnapped for different reason, pleasure, cheap labor or now lately of selling their organs to the international market. There is a lack of information, the cleverness of the abducters and their growing network increases abduction cases all over Afghanistan.

     Even if they got caught, they are released very soon after that with no prosecution, they are rich and very powerful. Afghnaistan and the world had changed quite a lot since 2001 and Afghanistan will surely remain to be in the back burner of the international media while the U.S running arround, having drones sent to this area to hunt al-Qaeda and Taliban operatives. Until such markets are beeing checked, corruption fighted and a functional legal system constructed we will see no changes. Short term and cosmetic changes will rather strengthen their situation and the evil child trafficking in Afghanistan.
