Bacha Bazi Responce Post

Responding to a post done by my English teacher Mr. Sutherland, I came upon the subject that had to do with Bacha Bazi- responce post. Bacha Bazi originally means child prostitution, this act of slavery takes place in many countries, where prepubescent children are sold to wealthy and powerful men for sexual activities and entertainment. This horrid business is done only using boys and there are only males who buy these innocent human beings. Besides all of the horrible and unspeakable abuse that is given to these children, what truly catches my mind isn't their need for help and sympathy, yet it is the part of granting the help these children need.

It turns out that this was not just some scary trait of Assef, the villain of the novel. (Which means that many of our interpretations of his character were way off; we assumed he was an anomaly.) It turns out that his pattern of child molesting goes much deeper.

Wikileaks, in a recent document-dump, has stirred up evidence that as part of the war effort in Afghanistan, almost two billion US tax dollars have been spent contracting with a private company which, among other scandals, helped throw a party for Afghan police recruits where young boys were pimped out for sex.




Where my main concern comes into play is who is the main cause behind this plot and evil scene. It is said to be that high authority in country's, but to be exact Afghanistan, is behind this sick event. The Government is said to be behind this cruel event, and although it is said to be an illegal act, they continue this act in both private and public parties. I came to the conclusion that it wasn't just an accident that America had sent about two billion US tax dollars and part of that money just happened to be used for the Bacha Bazi parties hosted by officers.

The people ( whom ever that may be) that are contracting with this private company had full knowledge of what was going on. And that is why they chose to hide this document, other wise what else do they have to lose against the other governments actions.
