Mozambique: Demanding un update on the children trafficking case

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Mozambique, Governance, Youth

Luis David [1] [pt] demands an update on the situation of the 40 children found in a truck intercepted by police in Inchope, reported back in January [2]. The children were supposedly being taken to schools to study the Koran, with their parents consent. “And that casts doubt on whether it was children trafficking. Human trafficking. Nothing indicates it wasn't. Everything indicates that it was indeed. Everything points to the fact that we may be facing a situation where both children and parents have been manipulated. Where parents surrendered their children to the unknown. For a finality other than being nationalistic and upright Mozambicans. It is up to the Government, of course, to investigate and clarify how these children were recruited.”
