White Slave
Yesterday they showed a program about the one million white slaves (of which three thousand were from Scandinavia) that were bought and sold in north Africa.
One of the stories was about a Danish boy who ended up being a slave for 12 years, and the other was about a group of Norwegian sailors that ended up on the slave market, and how the Danish state went into frantic negotiations with the owners to get them back. Most of the white slaves died, either from the hard labour, from being whipped to death or simply because they got deliberately killed by their owners, so the Danish state knew they couldn’t wait forever.
Three years later they finally managed to pay for the sailors, and they all returned home safely.

The Norwegian government ought to Storm Algeria or wherever this slavery business is going on. They ought to storm it and return the favor. If I were in command, that is the only possible option I can see. Getting our slaves back, or paying back those who killed them with furious retribution. No one, especially not 3'rd world Arab pirates, is going to steal my very people out from under my nose, and sell them into slavery.

Thank you, It happens all around the world and its never stopped. People seem to think Slavery is a thing of the past, but it's not. It moved from the living room to the basement that is all.
The Second largest traded commodity on the black market is Human life. Followed very closely by weapons. They go back and forth, but it still generates billions for shady characters and it needs to be brought to light. Forget the war on drugs, we need a war on human trafficking.

@agoodcupoftea in the USA (and many other countries as well) ten of thousands of white girls, as young as 12, are sold as sex slaves throughout the world every year. and I mean THIS YEAR, next year etc... it's an abomination that no one talks or does anything about.

The same thing happened in Italy, but cause of political divisions (and also cause no one in power, nor the pope or any pretty king that lived in Italy in those times) almost no one was ever rescued.
In sicily the last turkish raid took place in 1856, and a whole city (Augusta) was sacked. The hate towards the turkish, cause of centuries of raids, became proverbial, and still in sicily is an offence to call someone a "turk" (tuccu in sicilian).

@ArmchairCommando > From time to time it's in the Danish media that Thai girls and alike are invited to Denmark believing they are to live freely in the country only to be forced into prostitution in brothels or random cellars.
