We had heard of <A href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/25/world/africa/25congo.html?ex=1356238800&amp;en=55aab417c59dcb54&amp;ei=5088&amp;partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss"><FONT color=#0000ff>children being kidnapped</FONT></A> by the armed groups fighting in Congo and used for carrying ammunition or for sex. Now it has come to light that children from many African countries, especially Nigeria, are being <A href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/children-sold-into-modernday-slavery/2008/01/27/1201368944626.html"><FONT color=#0000ff>sold by their parents</FONT></A> to unscrupulous agents, who assure them that their kids will see a great future in foreign lands. Helpless African parents living in poverty are taken in by this con-talk. But these children are brought to Britain and abused. They are used to get welfare benefits. They are used in hotels and restaurants and are sexually abused.</P> <P>Britain seems to have become a haven for these traders in children. Some of these agents are procuring <A href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-01-24-child-trafficking_N.htm"><FONT color=#0000ff>children from Romania</FONT></A> from similarly poor parents and then use them in organized gangs.<BR><BR>It being difficult to erase the basic cause of child trafficking, which is poverty in Africa and the East European countries. The onus of stopping it lies with the British authorities.

If a few classmates die, one can even get famous. In other countries children wielding guns are so common that when <A href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article3080624.ece"><FONT color=#0000ff>Times Online</FONT></A> reports that, hardly anyone cares to mention any names. <STRONG>If you are born in the wrong side of the globe then even if you shoot your whole city down, no one will bat an eyelid.</STRONG></P> <P>So clich鳠justify the violent games that kids are playing in the Gaza strip. Only these children do not need the television to learn guerrilla warfare. Everything is happening right in front of their eyes. And unlike the sociopaths in the West, who kill for pleasure, these kids may have to kill someday for necessity. They may have to defend their communities in the future against US and Zionist aggression.</P> <P>They are playing ?raid-the-houses?, ?torture-the-prisoner? and ?curfew? games.
