This blog is about global injustice yet for a long time I've focused mainly on war and politics concerning the aggression and oppression of major powers against weaker foes eg. US and Iraq, Russia and Chechnya. There's many other issues of injustice that plague the world and I'm hoping to post more on these issues.

Though slavery (of Africans) officially ended in the 1800s, there's a different, sinister form of slavery that exists nowadays. Sex slavery and trafficking especially involving young victims has become quite prevalent in areas like South East Asia, East Europe and Central America.
