[@raymondogwang]

This is the type of content we need to start consuming. Well-done to the team for exposing all these issues

[@Hak992]

When the likes of Solomon left NBS we thought we had lost one of the best investigative journalists Thanks to the AIIJ team and everyone involved for exposing the evils that be Police coming out is a clear indication that people who have a lot power are benefitting from it and will do anything to suppress the truth

[@kyewalabyegerald7751]

Thanks to everyone @AIIJ for not bucking down from fulfilling their obligation to the nation.

[@TheBraop]

The Embassy of Uganda in Saudi Arabia is at the center of this saga. We need another documentary about that rotten Embassy.

[@johnkelvin9036]

It's very unfortunate the government of Uganda has done nothing towards this impunity undergoing in Arab immigrant workers

[@birabwacathy5306]

Thanks African institute of investigative journalism. I pray that this piece can be done in local languages because it's the locals who suffer alot

[@kibuulesimon2416]

Police shouldnt stop this documentary premiering rather thank the Journalists who simplified their job by detailing all the nitty gritty of this labour movement of our brothers and sisters into hell. Thank you AIIJ.

This is a MUST watch for everyone. Thank you Solomon SSerwanjja, Daniel Lutaaya and @AIIJ. I will never in my life forgive the lady who had lured me into this labour externalisation. I will NEVER. To those who have gone and achieved, to God be the glory but We, nara

[@katasidruscilla4192]

Thanks goes to AllJ,& Every one who stood in to share with us this information (advice),My humble request is would you please make this video viral to reach our brother's & sister's working in Gulf countries, more so on tiktok, cause it's were u get them 4rm

[@prossymosh700]

Thank you so much for the great work team. So we kindly request you to try and make this report trend on all social media platforms. This would be the right time since Saudi Arabians are busy asking what they did to Uganda and so please let's share this video with them. 🙏

[@ugandayaffefena2399]

We appreciate this independent investigative journalism. This is the reality of what happens in the middle East especially Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

[@sharonibenu5305]

Oh Bernard, glad you got back home safely. Watching this documentary has been so emotional 😭💔. May God protect those who are still going and are still there. To those who have returned home safely, we pray for your permanent healing 🙏..

[@SamsonKabugosamk]

Thanks AIIJ, more especially Barbara Kalumba. May God watch over you and your family.

[@mugalueddie]

Thank you so much Solomon, Raymond and Lutaaya for this wonderful investigative piece. We pray for God's protection upon your life.

[@shadia30]

@AIIJ for highlighting on this, I’m lucky I got to escape from my boss, seeing Taqqika going through breathing and now can’t have her kids at young because of chemical she was using in Saudi Arabia, I remember using Clorox everyday and my boss told me one day to be careful because I may have chest problems and I asked myself why they buy such chemicals at home while knowing it’s dangerous on maids. I could cry everyday regretting even why I had to come here but I thank Allah I had to run away to save my life.

[@Ayogenius67]

I wish this documentary reaches 10Million views so that all people concerned work on it

[@ssentamubernard2505]

I personally want to extend my sincere gratitude to AIIJ for this piece.. thanks Mr. Solomon Sserwanja

[@andreceazor1909]

God bless you AIIJ.. Uganda needs people in leadership who care about its citizens.

[@Princemediatelevision]

@AfricanIIJ is the new BBC Africa Eye of Uganda ,On the Go is extremely good and insightful.This is the kind of Journalism that causes huge Change on the development of a Country.

[@nantalegorret1380]

Thank you Solomon ssebo may God protect you because this work is not easy 😢 🙏

[@davidmugume]

"Here is why journalists should study literature. There is something we call melodrama, which is defined as the use of intense emotions in a piece of work. The problem with melodrama is that it leaves the audience overwelmed with emotion but helpless to do anything about the situation. A story becomes melodramic when its plot has victims but no perpetrator whom the audience can hold responsible for the catastrophe. Tragedy, on the other hand, is when the plot identifies the powerful as responsible for catastrophe. So victims dont dominate the plot." In this case all we have seen here is known and we'll documented but there are no heads we can identify, cut and roll. All that the documentary did is to create heavy feelings (melodrama) yet we can't identify the perpetrators who own the contractual companies and are the fat cats in govt who sell us to slavery in these countries and call the fruits of our slavery "FDI" and "remittances". The are the ones who were threatening the source of this investigation. We would have wanted to see the details of the contracts that are signed and who actually benefits because that's where the big bucks are. Sadly, this was all missed. We never experienced the tragedy of this story.

[@amchildsfam1361]

Wow, exactly what I noticed

[@namatovumarie3801]

What hurts more is that other countries like Phillipines Siri Lanka etc protect their girls there embassies do act upon accordingly but ours is putting a deaf ear to our problems. I pray this documentary awakens them

[@trevormicheal2818]

@AIIJ brings insights to some of the dark things we ought to look out for. Thanks for the documentary

[@priscillawausi8214]

Well done, devastating & sad 😭😭😭 sad we continue to loose our girls &men as nothing is being done my heart bleeds for my motherland too🇰🇪May God help us all.

At 14:33 the label says origin MCT. That's the airport code for Muscat, which is in Oman not Saudi Arabia. I have also heard horrible stories of the lives of foreign housemaids in Oman, too. Regardless... this young woman didn't deserve this terrible fate. Prayers to her family.

This is heartbreaking, tears rolling down my face as I see this

[@gracerukwanzi5876]

Thank you so much. much!!! We are learning the part about whether labor externalization is more harmful than good. @AAIJ should also come up with ways for how the young generation excited about working abroad can be sensitized about the pros and cons. Many people have fallen victim but that doesn't learn. It's risky. Let's get the solution to this. SHALL WW CONTINUE CARRYING IT OUT? Every DAY WE GET EMOTIONAL STORIES. don't you think it's high time we learn that we need money but there are other ways to get it Instead of relying on labor externalization?

"many Ugandans have changed their lives." But at what cost? This documentary highlights a major weakness of our government which is; the government will not help you dear Ugandan. What's next? What should we do? If this determination these youth have to go out can be channelled to acquiring practical skills here in Uganda, it could change something. Ohh Uganda, may God uphold thee.
