Please correct me where I'm wrong.
The "Slavery" issue in the Ivory Coast is largely in regards to child labor who were either lured by false wage ideas, kidnapped, or sold by their family for profit to work into their coca fields.
Trafficking individuals from the surrounding countries to the Ivory Coast is made easier because these neighboring countries also are countries listed as a part of their Visa Waiver Programs. Meaning there isn't much there to restrict the flow of these people in the first place. Right?
In some places there are still markets setup for the selling of individuals into slavery correct?
It's essentially Chattel Slavery for kids right?
While you can draw parallels between those lured through false hopes in the Ivory Coast and the US you can't do that for the chattel slave aspects of their problems.
Farmers in the Ivory Coast are literally buying teenage boys as property.
