...means, like South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria, Libya, but they are not together. If they came together in the Union, they would help the others. We are doing a lot in mediation, but it is not very effective. You need quick action. Look what the Europeans did in Kosovo. They intervened quickly and saved the situation. We cannot do that in Africa. For the last 30 years, there is a civil war in Angola, and the world is silent about it. No one can stop this war. United, we could...

In Moldova, the U.S. embassy funded two half-hour programs about the trade to be broadcast on state television and in schools. In Kosovo, the iom printed 20,000 pamphlets-in English-to target the international community there. The pamphlets recount the true story of a young woman, Maria, who lived eight to a room and was forced to have sex with up to five men a night. "You pay for a night," it admonishes readers. "She pays with her life...
