{{United Nations special representative on human trafficking has urged African countries to fund their diplomatic missions to ensure supervision of their citizens in foreign countries.}}<\/p>\n
Decrying the profitability of human trafficking, Ms Joy Ngozi Ezeilo said it is the responsibility of African governments to eliminate the vice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should have proactive ambassadors who supervise all immigrants. Ambassadors don\u2019t have money and governments should look for partners to help victims,\u201d Ms Ngozi said on Thursday at a public lecture on human trafficking in Africa in Kampala.<\/p>\n
She also urged African countries to combat causes of the practice which she termed as \u201cmodern day slavery\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernments should combat corruption, employ semi-skilled labour, stop gender discrimination, stop wars and bad cultural practices,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
