“Places that don’t exist”
Monday, April 28th, 2008
This is a great post about yet another contentious breakaway-from-a-breakaway situation, this time involving Moldova and a region called Transnistria, along the border with Ukraine.
The blog, Human Goods, deals with human trafficking and mentions the practice of some villagers in the region selling their organs in the face of extreme poverty. The author also includes some great segments from a BBC series entitled “Places that don’t exist,” since Transnistria has not been recognized as a country by, well, anyone else.
