These unfortunate children learn nothing of value in these 'religious' schools.

The only learn to read Arabic from the Koran, but are never told what it is they are speaking.

There are also many stories of the boys being beaten and bloodied, and they are often sexually abused too.

The teachers (Marabouts) force them to beg on the streets, and takes the money when they return.

The stick the kids are beaten with is called 'yaar', which also means teacher.

It is an uncivilised disgrace.
