The Secrets of Mauritania: Immigration and the Battle Against Slavery | Sahara | ENDEVR Documentary

The Secrets of Mauritania | Sahara Desert | Africa | Immigration | ENDEVR Documentary from 2019
Episode 1 - The Secret of Mauritania
In the far west of the Sahara lies Mauritania. Ten years ago, this country was a busy crossing for migrants from West Africa to the Canary Islands, but since the Spanish coast guard have taken up patrols, no one has gotten through. Mauritania is one of those countries that has managed to escape the attention of the world press. A country of sand where the first cities were not built until the 1960s, but urbanisation has brought many desert customs to the city. Officially, slavery was abolished in Mauritania in 1981, nearly a century after the rest of the world had banned it, but activists are still fighting every day to free tens of thousands of black Mauritanians who are owned by others. They have no rights. They do not get paid. Women who have children, often by their owners, have to give their children their owners’ last names, and the children are not entitled to an education. And the battle against slavery is hazardous for activists, lawyers and the journalists who report on it.
About Sahara series: For centuries colonialists have bypassed the Sahara. The largest sand desert on the planet was too hot and too impenetrable. Now, Europe seems to have shifted its southern border to the Sahara in order to stop migration and combat terrorism. How do the inhabitants of the Sahara feel about this interference? In Sahara, a three-episode series, Bram Vermeulen crosses the desert from west to east, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. He experiences the heat, the dangers of advancing jihadism, the desperation of migrants, the hidden world of slavery, uncovers human trafficking networks and he meets with locals in one of the most inhospitable places on earth.

Omg them butchering the goat infront of the baby was so horrible.

[@tashkenty]

Probably one of the best documentaries I’ve seen in years

[@Tammissa]

Very very interesting film, I loved it! So interesting to see and learn how other people live in the world.

[@ahmedbebackup9944]

Be careful with making perceptions about countries based on TV shows it is always exaggerated and generalised.

[@Wa7edmenalnass]

But take this with a green of sault, it's like if someone made a movie about the shady parts of Amsterdam or the dark side of USA.

[@es9382]

Breathtaking!

[@moulay6083]

The real joke is that there are people from outside of Mauritania that actually think that Biram is a human right activist , an anti-slavery and a saviour for his people , while in fact he is just a businessman who collects money from charities and keeps it for himself

[@markward3981]

Please provide documentation, citations etc we would love to read about It. Thank you

Very sad life of Desert people . Interesting information. 👍👍👍

[@allenkeettikkal3149]

You know, I kinda wished that the people editing this Documentary would have the liberty to censor the people's faces while interviewing them so that they don't get caught by the authorities.

[@Nardawg831]

so horrible how he slaughters the goat infront of the baby goat may god curse them for being so wicked.

[@kovalanpakkaran5170]

Yes. The baby may be searching her mother. So cruel.

[@gracie99999]

but how about the method of cuttin? it could make her last breaths easy or very difficult. see, I agree with u but just like dogs and human relations completely misunderstood [ceasar Milan-check it] you’d think feel as us as though human but they exist in different sphere of activity unlike ours.

[@muscuut]

Fattening the ladies to avoid them from running away was quiet hilarious.Thought the 12 year old girl in the corner is asking for help with her eyes.

[@camelopardalis84]

Hilarious?

The goat's eyes broke my heart. So proud I stopped eating meat many years ago

[@ameenzakariya6101]

Love Mauritania 🇲🇷 from Pakistan 🇵🇰.

[@Dreikoo]

Lmao "fat women won't get far when they try to run away" is about the funniest thing I've ever heard someone say seriously.

[@nishant54]

It's not funny fool it's a fact, fat women can't run fast as slim one.

[@Dreikoo]

@@nishant54 No but to use that as a reason for feeding them consciously is absurdly hilarious.

[@ndorobei4391]

A lot of problems in Europe. High cost of living, drugs, homelessness. Why should Europe still bother to create mess in other continents. Stay in Europe and you'll be okay.

[@tarekabdallaelshingeiti196]

You are treating them like they are subhuman. Asking them if they know the date and time. Throwing shade implying that people are slaves. It does exist but it is mostly eradicated. And if some of these arabs look down at black people for obvious lack of education they are far better than you. Educated but looking down on the arabs. Miss me with your european standards

[@tobagogyal9350]

Saw a video recently of a young man from your country. He was in Italy. He said he was in Italy because he was trying to escape slavery...I believe him..slavery in your country is still alive n well..smdh.

Well you guys literally still have slavery

[@hihello-yv2tt]

@@shannsimms9072 It’s not the form of slavery you are thinking. These “slaves” are taken care of and live alongside the family and must be treated humanely. Secondly, many west African countries still have slavery or indentured servitude existing.

[@shannsimms9072]

@@hihello-yv2tt but they aren’t paid right? So it’s slavery.

[@hihello-yv2tt]

@@shannsimms9072 No, they aren’t paid however they have a choice to leave and aren’t forced to live with someone else. Most of them choose to live with someone and get to eat and sleep in their homes.
