[6] The international police agency Interpol says more than 140 victims of child trafficking have been rescued in the West African state of Gabon. Interpol said they were from 10 different countries but did not specify which ones.
    Interpol said teams of officials carried out checks at markets, stores in the capital Libreville where children were doing various jobs, such as carrying heavy goods and selling products. Forty-four people have been arrested in the operation, thought to be the first of its kind in Central Africa. Other anti-child trafficking raids have also taken place in Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. Child labour, which is used in everything from domestic service to cotton picking, is not a new phenomenon in the region, and anti-slavery groups have long campaigned against it.
