PKK Youth Fight for Autonomy in Turkey

	PKK Youth Fight for Autonomy in Turkey On January 6, a 14-year-old Kurdish boy named Ümit Kurt was shot dead by Turkish special forces in the Syrian border town of Cizre in southeast Turkey. Ümit Kurt was killed as he walked home through an area controlled by the Patriotic Revolutionary Youth Movement (YDG-H), the militant youth wing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). The YDG-H has been acting as a paramilitary force in Cizre for the past few months and has closed off several Kurdish neighborhoods with their armed checkpoints and patrols. VICE News gained exclusive access to members of the YDG-H, mostly in their teens and early twenties, who give their story on why gun battles broke out between them and the Turkish security forces, leading to some of the worst fighting in Cizre since the 1990s.

Young Veteran Brings Military Lessons to Bareburger Franchise

Entrepreneurs often gain experience in their field before starting a business. But valuable experience can come from other sources as well. For Daniel Kemelman, that experience came from his time in the military.

Only in his mid-twenties, Kemelman completed a tour of duty with the U.S. Army National Guard before even turning 21. Just a few years after returning, he now owns his very own Bareburger franchise, the first of its kind in Philadelphia.

After completing his tour of duty, Kemelman briefly worked for a financial advisory firm. But he always wanted to start his own business.

Albino Activism in Tanzania: VICE News Meets Josephat Torner

	Albino Activism in Tanzania: VICE News Meets Josephat Torner A string of murders that began in 2000 has now left more than 72 albinos in Tanzania dead. These killings are believed to be motivated by the lucrative trade in albino body parts, which some Africans believe possess magical powers. Tanzania has now been listed by the United Nations as the African nation where albinos are targeted for murder the most. According to long-standing traditions in the country, albinos are believed to be ghosts who are cursed, but whose body parts can ward off bad luck, and bring the owner wealth and success. In response to these killings, in January 2015 Tanzania banned witch doctors. In East Africa, one child in 3,000 is born albino, compared to one in 20,000 in the United States. In Tanzania, albino advocacy groups estimate the number of albinos to be somewhere above 100,000 in a population of nearly 50 million people. VICE News traveled to Tanzania to meet with Josephat Torner, an albino activist who has dedicated his life to raising awareness and acceptance towards albinos in his country, while debunking the widespread myths and superstitions surrounding the congenital disorder.

The Madam of the Brothel (Excerpt from ‘Sex Slaves of Bangladesh’)

	The Madam of the Brothel (Excerpt from ‘Sex Slaves of Bangladesh’) Watch “Sex Slaves of Bangladesh” – http://bit.ly/16SE7d3 Bangladesh is one of the few Muslim nations where prostitution is legal, and the country’s largest brothel is called Daulatdia, where more than 1,500 women and girls sell sex to thousands of men every day. Daulatdia is infamous for drug abuse and underage prostitution, and many of its sex workers are victims of sexual slavery who were trafficked into the area and sold to a pimp or a madam. They are forced to work off the fee that was paid for them, a debt that takes years to clear because they receive as little as a dollar for sex. VICE News visited the notorious Bangladeshi brothel — where human trafficking, underage prostitution, and drugs are commonplace — and met the traffickers and the trafficked, as well as the clientele. In this excerpt, VICE News correspondent Tania Rashid meets a madam of one of Bangladesh’s biggest brothels and discovers the rampant abuse of steroids, which is often used to make underage sex workers appear older than than are.
