Sudan
 

Do Arabs really abduct and enslave African children in Sudan. I have been reading some gruesome accounts recently, does this really go on ?

Re: Sudan
 

Some arabs do, but generalizing would do their entire race a great injustice.

Human trafficking is a global scourge. Perpetrated by sick individuals from just about every nation on earth.

I have just read a book called "Slave"
written by Mende Nazer.

It is her account of what happened to her when she was abducted, raped and forced into slavery in 1992. She was only 12 years old when this happened and did not escape until her early twenties.

Just imagine this Nuban little girl was abducted in the Nuba mountains of Sudan, spent the next few years being brutalised as a slave by her Arab family she was sold to, and finally escaped to freedom in London in september 2000 after she was sent their to work as a slave for the sister of her Arab "master", who happened to be married to a high ranking Sudanese diplomat. She was finally granted assylum in 2003.

Her case exposed the disgusting modern day slave trade in the Sudan, the Mujahidin who abducted her and other little children and thought it was funny to rape them, and her generally wealthy Arab slave masters who should feel utterly ashamed of themselves.

BELIEVE ME HER ACCOUNT IS SHOCKING EVEN TO THOSE WITH THE HARDEST HEARTS.

Why are you limiting this to the Sudan? In my wife's country, Mozambique, they have a saying of ' Tata Mamae, Tata Papae' for when children disappear off the streets, and guess what? Madonna is not adopting them all.

Some will end up as 'Muti'..killed for body parts...and others end up in other places. Look at how much public attention was generated by the sad abduction of Madeleine from Portugal. See what happens when a kid is abducted from a socio-economic group that has some ability to act. Ever noticed the uproar about the abduction of kids from developing countries?

It has been reportedly stemmed but the UAE used to abduct kids for camel jockeys. For that reason, America's great friend, the Emir of Dubai, Sheik Makhtoum could not fly to visit his many friends in the US for a while.

I wonder how much it cost him to get out of that?

Great world we live in...eh?

The cruelty of man knows no bounds. :(

Re: Sudan
 

Too true....and the hypocrisy of people in the developed world will never be fully realized. Look at the attention that was paid to Madeleine...(and I am still sympathetic to her situation and circumstances, whatever they may be) and compare how much attention that is paid to the child slaves Makhtoum and his mates used for decades. Why was there scant attention paid?...
...............don't tell me it was because of the oil?

Re: Sudan
 

How much attention was paid to Madelaine in Sudan? Very little, I suspect.

The usual response when civilized nations start intefering in Africa is to keep our "pink noses out" (as Mugabe says).

Oh please!

Poor man Pablo...still yearning for the Colonial days..?

Come on..give us the full racist monotribe...we are all waiting expectantly. Tell us about how it was so much better when the whites were on top and the blacks knew their place. How the whites were so much better organised at ripping the resources out of the countries they had dominated and left undeveloped for centuries...come on give it to us...we all deserve it.

Re: Sudan
 

Oh dear. The usual nonsense.

Re: Sudan
 

Come on Pablo, you can do better than that....we are all waiting.

Re: Sudan
 

Who is "we"?

Re: Sudan
 

Me and my Missus...'we' are sitting here waiting for some more phlegm to come out of that 'pink nose' of yours. Come on..tell it like you feel...how, if given free rein....you'd put things back into that natural order.

Re: Sudan
 

Come on Pablo...we are waiting to see how small minded you are...before we get off to bed...don't let us down mate!

Re: Sudan
 

There is nothing quite so farcical, and so perennial, as righteous ignorance.

Re: Sudan
 

As I thought, he had to go fetch his dictionary.

Now...to address the matter above...you are wrong....a racist ignoramus will always be more farcical and perennial. You can't teach something that can't be taught.
