Slavery

Sunday, March 25th marked the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade in Britain. 200 years on, slavery is still alive and well in many countries of the world, including Sudan. The BBC website has a good set of articles on modern-day slavery. Click here
to view them. I particulary recommend the one entitled "Forgotten Slaves: South Sudanese await the return of their stolen children" and the photo journal called "Sudan's slave voices" for those of you who are interested in Sudan.
