AMSTERDAM (BBC News) - Police in the Netherlands say they have cracked a crime ring which allegedly trafficked Nigerian children into the West to work as sex slaves. At least 19 people were arrested in the Netherlands and five other countries including the U.S. and Britain.  Traffickers used voodoo to gain a hold over children before smuggling them abroad in a racket which exploited the asylum system, police say.  Scores of underage Nigerians, mainly girls, may have been trafficked.  Dutch authorities had been investigating the disappearance of 140 Nigerian children from asylum-seeker holding centres since January 2006. Several of the children were later found working as prostitutes in France, Italy and Spain, according to Dutch police.

JOHANNESBURG -- A decade after the end of apartheid, South Africa is a remarkable success story of a nation overcoming its past.
