Slavery still exists in Mauritania

I hope that the new elect will do all it takes to have slavery a capital crime.
Mauritania, Please remember that we are in the 21st century!

Freedom and human-rights are the key factors for a better democratic Mauritania.
We the Saharawis in exile, wish you all the best, and Allah may help to achieve a peaceful and prosper country.

Salaam

i think that slavery should be an act of crime again st all hummanity. it should be ellegal.

Slavery not only exist in Mauritania but also exists in the Polisario refugee camps in South Algeria.
My sister was arrested in April 2007 while making a film about the Saharawis, she found out that most of the black people in the refugee camps are slaves...

Slavery is a shame but where are the UN and NGO's?

This is really sad,
where are all ther politicians, and human rights groups

Ok.. this is a country where no one dies at coup detates, no one has been executed in the past 15 years or so.. doesnt that sound a bit odd? i mean, the people are definately peacful, and even the lead of this story points that out, it says " They do not wear chains, nor are they branded with the mark of their masters, but slaves still exist in Mauritania." so, if they are not forced, if they are not tortured, and if the people are peacful, then why are these folks still in slavery? lets assume that somehow, culturally, they believe that they are "supposed to live that way, as slaves" or that it couldnt be any other way, since that is the only logical explanation due to the lack of violence and use of force, if that is in fact the case, then they are as ignorant as thier masters and both parties bear exactly the same amount of responsibility to the existance and survival of this situation.... it would simply be wrong to just toss it on the "owners" and say its purely thier fault, if they are not making them, i quote, "They do not wear chains, nor are they branded with the mark of their masters".

The only way really to end slavery in Mauritania and the Sudan is to kill those who practice and perpetuate it. Provide money, guns and military training to runaway slaves in refugee camps in neighboring Senegal. Create a rebel army of liberation, and let them attack Mauritania, free slaves, and kill as many slavers as possible.

The price of enslavement needs to be death, preferably a slow and ugly one.

I think the black mauritnians need to created a rebelion army to liberated the country from the beydanes.Please help as.

Well said. I shouldn't even add any more to that.

((Mauritania and Sudan should be re-colonized in order to stamp-out and eliminate the slavery in these two countries)).

As far as know, there is already a black dominated liberation from "FLAME". I don't know how effective is this front but it must consolidated and backed-up worldwide to eradicate any regime accepts the slavery in that country.

From what I've seen here, the majority of slaves are young boys from surrounding countries placed on the streets to beg for money, or young girls who are married off to older men. The same things work both ways as the children of Mauritanians are sold to other countries. You must have an open mind that they don't have a lot of knowledge of other countries at this age. Just because they may not really know what it is, it's still slavery.

Another point I choose to make concerns the hypocrisy of the liberal left. When some racial injustice occurs in the West or in Israel,they jump all over it. Yet wholesale slavery still lives in two Arabic-speaking Muslim countries, and seldom is so much as a peep heard.

Where are Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan on the issue of Mauritania and the Sudan? While apartheid still stood in South Africa they raised holy Cain, but this far greater obscenity is getting a free pass. Somebody has to tell the "blame whitey for all of humanity's troubles" crowd either to put up, or to shut up.

What are you doing in america , brahim ould sambe;
your master had a tough time running from slaves market to onother looking for you.
Come Baaaack NOW! you are sold!!!

Which contries started with slave trade business in the Western Africa during last centuries for the money?And what changed today?

Welcome to Arab-Islam! it won't change. The 'holy' land of Saudi Arabia only abolished slavery in 1964.

It is a 3rd world, undemocratic, uneducated CRAP HOLE that still thinks it is the 12th century!

"The only way really to end slavery in Mauritania and the Sudan is to kill those who practice and perpetuate it."

After which you own all the slaves!
they must have both education and work to be free.

The old Dahomey was certainly part of it, and what changed today ?
What changed today, is that it has gotten so easy to stick Europeans with the guilt of slavery today.
