Mauritania: Slavery's last stronghold

Mauritania's endless sea of sand dunes hides an open secret: An estimated 10% to 20% of the population lives in slavery.

[@joeb5080]

Umm...plenty legalized slavery in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Mauritania isn't "the last stronghold".

[@earthakitt3661]

Not legalized, just hidden from the public, funded by major Arab oil corporations and Saudi princes.

[@joeb5080]

+James Johansson Depends what you mean by "hidden from the public". Immigrant guest workers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia have no labor rights whatsoever; they do not get paid, they cannot quit their jobs until their employer releases them, they're subject to physical abuse, and all of this is perfectly legal. I wouldn't call this "hidden from the public". In these Gulf nations, slavery is out in the open, legal, and accepted by society.

[@joeb5080]

+IN GOD WE TRUST Their pay is often withheld until the employer releases them. They sometimes never see that money at the end. If and when they get paid, it's slave wages.

[@joeb5080]

+Arslan Not sure what religion has to do with this. Most of the victims are themselves Muslims from countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt, or Somalia. And withholding someone's pay and not allowing them to quit if they want to is the textbook definition of slavery. The reason people come to the Gulf is because they have no idea what's awaiting them. Some governments in source countries are starting to warn their citizens about migrating to the Gulf. You're so blinded by your unconditional knee-jerk defense of anyone "Muslim" that you're blind to how they treat their fellow Muslims. Shame on you.

[@joeb5080]

+Arslan "Exactly eligion doesnt have to do anything with this..." So then why are saying that I'm criticizing the Gulf countries just because they're Muslim? "...BUT that is bullshit you are posting that happened few times..." No, it didn't "happen a few times". It's commonplace in the Gulf countries. There are no labor protections in those countries; the legal system allows slavery. Why are you taking this so personally? Are you Emirati, Qatari, or Saudi? Arslan sounds Turkish to me. Turkey is light years ahead of the Gulf countries on labor issues.

No, they're talking about the difference in skin color between Arabs and Africans when they meant "lighter skinned". It's not as drastic as the difference between the skin colors of black and white people, but there is a difference. Historically, lighter skinned Arabs have owned black slaves, so that's why they mentioned it in the video (and because it still seems to happen). Note how none of the slave owners were black (at least in this video) - their skin color (and ethnicity) may have been a factor when oppressing them

This documentary helps to shed light on a struggle that most of us are oblivious to. Unfortunately, Mauritania is far from "slavery's last stronghold". Maybe it's one of the last places where an entire social structure built on slavery exists in the open, but millions of people live and work as slaves around the globe. And if you extend your definition to include people reliant on less than living wages, the numbers become astronomical.

The enslavement I see here is beyond a physical one. It's kind of like the envisioned reality of poverty. That's the real slave master here poverty and lack of education. I mean yes the enslaved person can run a way but what will become of him or her. The government although they banned slavery them refusing to provide programs to help ex slaves, it's just the same as not banning slavery. I do see this weird social construct in certain parts of the world, it doesn't have to be called slavery but kind of the poorer the country, the cheaper the human labour.

This government is ready to give a lot of money to 'former terrorists' to help them fit back in society, but shows no willingness to rehabilitate those who are victim of slavery and/or government savagery. RACISM is what hinders many of the problem this country is facing. Combat racism and 'obsolete slavery' will slowly vanish. Regards

[@MariAnnRoss]

The worst kind of slavery is "multigenerational". Multigenerational slavery exists when an individual(s) is out of slavery yet "psychologically" they are still slaves. "Psychological slavery" is when your thought processes have been acquiesced to the authority of another. Too, multigenerational slavery is perpetually handed down.

[@Tejaye777]

You are so right unfortunately although most blacks worldwide are free. We still have "psychological" slavery. We have the opportunity to become Engineers,doctors,lawyers,Scientist and Business owners rather though we chose to debase ourselves and not take advantage of the opportunities we have.It is so sad to see that blacks still worship anything that is not black. Rather we pull down our own selves gender wars black men and women exist in a way that no other race of opposite genders exist as a divided unit. Black men and women would sell out each other just to have the favor of other races.Added to that blacks lack ambition to become valuable contributors to society. We always settle the the bottom of every social setting status wise.

PUZZLEMENT: Is an individual (singularly, and/or jointly, and/or severally) enslaved when they wittingly and willfully acquiesce their inherit rights (e.g., self-interest, -worth, -determination, -esteem, -defense, -awareness, and so on) to another (singularly, and/or jointly, and/or severally)?

Where we are all educated and taught to respect human life. Just like how that ex slave master became educated and changed his mind about slavery, that can happen to others too. Bilah was a Black Muslim who was held dear to Mohammad's heart. I can also remember a long time ago reading in either the Qu'ran or a Hadith that he himself, HATED slavery, but felt that he had to abide by the rules of that land. Even if the Muslim masters were illiterate they would know of Bilah because he's well known. So Just like many other religious people, they pick and choose what they want to follow.

[@melinternets8368]

Mohammed never hated slavery and he never abolished it either in the Quran or the Hadith. In fact the contrary is true.

Actually it is true, and not just sexual slavery. It's especially common of women coming from Latin America and Asia. They come here and then the people that got them here(either legally or illegally) claim they are owed money, even if they have already been paid, and then they keep people as slaves, supposedly paying off a debt, but the debt never gets paid off. It's similar to what Mining companies used to do to miners. They never pay you, they only write down that you paid off some debt, or pay you in credit or tokens of value (but NOT money), then they keep adding to the debt by charging you for food, water, board, etc.

Um, ....What do the two facts ("I am white") and ("I'm 100 percent against slavery. It's just wrong") have to do with each other? Were you suggesting that, had you been black or brown, you'd be only 72 percent against slavery? Yes, it is true that the first international movement to abolish chattel slavery worldwide was started by white people (the British, specifically the Clapham sect of Christian evangelicals). And that it had been whites who first promulgated the natural right theory of human beings as being free in terms of individual liberty. Neither Europeans (nor Arabs) had INTRODUCED slavery to Africa (which existed since time immemorial); but Europeans did FORCE most Africans to give up the institution of chattel slavery in the late 19th century. ...Individual liberty being an idea that was born in Europe (it was a Western idea exported to the world). Is THAT what you were trying to say?

Epic Life what’s your point? I don’t think there are any whites that want slavery

[@shockhouser3171]

Trust me im black and i forgive white people for slavery we need to focus on the arabs

[@qwertyasf]

shock houser you need to focus on yourself clearly

[@fe8445]

Prophet Mohammad 's(pbuh) last sermon: "Allmankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly." "Do not therefore do injustice to yourselves..."

hi, I strongly agreed with you an by the way, did you see the rageh omaar facebook page in wich he has several slavery documenatry footage? they are really good and, of course, form a wider perspective. see you

Ilove such documentaries thy mek me want to work with ngos in Sha Allah

[@10solidrocks]

I am glad I watched this video because I was completely unaware of the slavery still ongoing in Mauritania. On the other hand, I see it as you do, slavery exists all throughout the world and in every economic class (if class still exists). The corporations make slaves of their "employees" and groups who highly regard themselves and their own wants and needs have, since the fall of Adam and Eve, suppressed and oppressed others and turned them into slaves. Slavery is wicked to its core.

[@Nikwunu]

there is no comparison between signing a work contract and being the property of another person.

[@a.f.2330]

@@Nikwunu I have to agree with you completely. To equate employment with what was shown in this video - the lack of dignity, the lack of freedom, being traded and used as someone else's property, being treated as less valuable than even an animal - is mind boggling.

Good story, but hardly the last vestige of slavery in the world. What would you call a child working in the factories in China, or those that make our mass market clothing for a $1 a day? How about the human sex trade or the Bangladeshis building Dubai? There are, sadly, so many more examples of slavery. Just saying.

[@Jamie-js3qw]

yeah, you dont really know that much about Chinese factories. Just ask Chinese about it. It's a low wage, but somehow they still manage to earn enough to feed their family back home. There are sweat shops, but its a low wage, not slavery. Human sex trafficking is slavery of course. but its trafficking. Its not specific to one country. The Bangladeshis building Dubai live in bad conditions, low wages but they are there for a reason. Money.

An AMERICAN television company getting pompous about slavery in Mauritania ???

[@LlyneM-rf3gd]

Hugh: not pompous.But trying to end slavery. The US fought a war over it. hundreds of thousands of Americans died to end it back in the 1800s after a few states allowed it for 200 years. You act like every American had slaves. You are ignorant. Wake up. Most islamic countries only abolished it fairly recently and only under pressure. But there are currently 20 - 30 million slaves in islamic countries.

[@Abuamam]

Abolishing slavery on paper alone makes no sense. What would a freed slave do to earn an income? Rent himself out to the same or another master for pay instead of food. What has changed? The fact that he gets a salary to buy food instead of the food itself?
