Why slavery still exists | Mauritania | VPRO Documentary

Slavery is still existing in Mauritania, although it has officially been prohibited by law. The government of Mauritania has been trying to hide slavery from the outside world for years. Slavery has officially been abolished since 1981, almost a century after it happened worldwide. But activists are still fighting for the liberation of tens of thousands of black Mauritanians owned by someone else. Slavery is still existing.
In this series, Dutch Journalist Bram Vermeulen travels through the biggest desert on earth: the Sahara. He goes from west to east, from the Atlantic to the red sea and crosses the four biggest countries. He experiences the heat of the desert, the dangers of advancing jihadism and meets the residents of one of the most inhospitable areas on earth.
Mauritania is located in the most western point of the Sahara. Since 1980 no Dutch camera crew has been visiting here. The desert country tries to hide a big secret from the outside world.
Ten years ago, Mauritania was still a busy crossing point for migrants from West Africa to the Canary Islands, but since the Spanish coast guard patrolled the coast together with colleagues from Mauritania, no one can get through it anymore.
Mauritania is a country that exists without the attention of the world press. A land of sand, where the first cities only emerged after the great drought in the 1960s.
Many customs from the desert have come to the city with urbanization. It is notorious for overfeeding young girls with camel milk and breadcrumbs dipped in olive oil. Force-feeding is called that forbidden use, intended to make the girls more attractive for the wedding market.

    @Reina Macarena Yes America has slavery and a lot of it but it's not like slaves have to be put in metal shackles they just know that if they run they have nothing and no food and will likely be recaptured and punished and that it is better to stay in slavery and that is enough. Same way slavery works everywhere. Also no it's not just illegals. It's a lot of different people including born in America.

    First Munch I follow everything, be in French or english, both languages are my mother tongue. Having travelled around the world all my life, including Madagascar, Reunion island, Central America, Guyana, Brazil, Mauritius, East cost of Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia and doing so in the 60’s when l was very young and tourism was not yet developed as it is today. Nothing is a surprise to me personally. Being a left dissident and having learn history for more than 50 years in great details. What is taking place on the four corners of the world is the direct result of an unbridled capitalism with a total exploitation of human ressources without regards for human life. Exploitation and accumulation upon accumulation by the industrialised countries has reach the apex of what is possible without total rebellion of the people on the horizontal magma. Slaves are everywhere, even in Hong Kong where l lived as well, the so called Philippine servants are treated as slaves by the better off in HK. On the French Islands and territory the French personnel working for the French government have domestics they see as slaves in one way or other. The Deutsche dito, the British even worst with racism implanted in their mind. China has also a kind of slavery in many parts of its vast territory. Should we talk about India, a catastrophic situation for hundreds of years, not getting any better either. Let’s not talk about the black market for work in most countries, where does it end? Humans, hum, questions by the hundreds about this particular animal species with a formidable intelligence but still under the matrix of prehistoric heritage.

    Hello VPRO administrators. I really appreciate the video: the scenario, the making and other technical side. I also appreciate your sense of defending noble causes such human rights problems,crimes, slavery... Actually, slavery is a really dark part of my country history and it's a regretable thing that we're still living its bad consequences. Nevertheless, the slavery has been abolished by our constitution some years ago, and the several governments have been doing great efforts to eradicate this sad scourge and its consequences. There are have also been particpations from non governmental organsms such national personalities, NGO's ... Therefore the slavery barely still exist, actually it I can does no longer exist but just its traces and consequences. I unfortunately admit that some of its consequences are very rooted in smoe part of the country, however it's not a slavery situation as some uninformed people think. Unfortunately some people have been misusing these little cases of slavery like situations to get profit from international human rights organizations by getting funds and supplies in their claimed fight against a problem which does not conretely exist. I want to inform you that mauritanian people in all its ethnical representations are continously working together to eradicate the consequences of slavery, to build a new era of peace and mutual understanding between and to move on forward toward a bright common future. The mauritanian people are really trying to erase the bad image that slavery has drawn for the country and its our absolute right to do that. Every people deserve a second chance despite the past. Therefore, I really beg you, in the name of all mauritanians, in the name of all mauritania sons who are working day and night to develop their country and to place in front nations and to make a lovely country like many other countries such as yours, to delete or cancel this video, which remind us of a past we're trying to forget and to surpass. This video doesn't really reflect our efforts, neither the Mauritania current situation. Hope you understand my feelings and my point. Thank you so much for your attention.

    Here is a quote from an observer in Zanzibar that sheds light on the harsh conditions of Islamic slavery: "As they filed past, we noticed many chained together by the neck... The women, who were as numerous as the men, carried babies on their backs in addition to a tusk of ivory or other burden on their heads... It is difficult to adequately describe the filthy state of their bodies; in many instances not only scarred by [the whip], but feet and shoulders were a mass of open sores... half-starved ill-treated creatures who, weary and friendless must have longed for death." The text (quoted from Dr. Azumah's The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa) goes on to describe the fate of those who became too ill or too weak to continue the journey - as related by a Muslim "herdsman": "Spear them at once! For, if we did not, others would pretend they are ill in order to avoid carrying their loads. No! We never leave them alive on the road; they all know this custom." When asked who carries the ivory when a mother gets too tired to carry both her baby and the ivory, the herdsman replied, "She does! We cannot leave valuable ivory on the road. We spear the child and make her burden lighter." After Muhammad's companions overthrew the Christians in Egypt shortly after his death, they began demanding slaves from the Nubians to the south. For over 600 years, the black African kingdom was forced to send a tribute of slaves to Cairo on a regular basis. Although the Qur'an does not distinguish between races, there is a strong legacy of racism against people of African descent in early Islam. According to the Quran itself, blackness is a product of being too close to where the sun sets and rises (Muhammad thought that the earth flat and the Africans lived along the edge). Islamic scholar Ibn Qutaybah described black people as "ugly and misshapen because they live in a hot country where the heat overcooks them in the womb and curls their hair." Again quoting from The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa, Dr. Azumah provides several examples of Islam's early attitude toward blackness: The hadith in which an Ethiopian woman laments her racial inferiority to Muhammad, who consoles her by saying, "In Paradise, the whiteness of the Ethiopian will be seen over the stretch of a thousand years." The Muslim Arab and Persian literature which depicts blacks as "stupid, untruthful, vicious, sexually unbridled, ugly and distorted, excessively merry and easily affected by music and drink." Nasir al-Din Tusi, the famous Muslim scholar said of blacks: "The ape is more capable of being trained than the Negro." Ibn Khaldun, an early Muslim thinker, writes that blacks are "only humans who are closer to dumb animals than to rational beings." He also insisted that "the only people who accept slavery are the Negroes, owing to their low degree of humanity and proximity to the animal stage." (In truth, over 500,000 Africans in Basra overthrew their Arab-Islamic masters in the largest slave uprising in history in what is known as the Zanj Rebellion). www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/articles/black-africa.aspx

The Pentagon bombed Iraq's water supplies from Jan 1991 for the next decade. Sanctions prevented the import of water treatment materials. They even estimated which diseases would appear and when. This Policy resulted in the deaths of nearly 2 million Iraqis, including 500,000 babies. Then they invaded Iraq in 2003, using the Lie about Weapons of Mass Destruction -- and poisoned Iraq with depleted Uranium. Thugs in head masks hanged Saddam Hussein after a fake trial. US Attorney General, Ramsay Clark, called it all "an atrocity unprecedented in history" (5 mins). kzread.info/dash/bejne/goaDq8Gyh6auiKQ.html

One of the signs he gave his people is the drying of the eurphrates and the tigress rivers, whenever they dry look for the armies of the east, the force of Islam, and the gentiles armies to meet in the holy Land, the valley of Johasephat, where he will meet them, they won't be able to resit it. From there they will be on the run. Their time is up, you have served them they will have to serve you forever.

Rome held a empire for 500 years before the Christian faith really started to spread, Rome knew how to maintain control of people. The question I had when I was 10 years old in Sunday school and for my grade school teachers was this, " If Rome imported spice and tigers from India , where were the Indians in Italy ?" My answer, the Christians killed off the Hindu. Just like they did in Egypt. Why, cause the Southern Baptist church my parents took us children to , taught the the Hindu faith was Of the Devil.

    @@jperez7893 St. Paul and the bible mandate slavery. But we don’t practice slavery, because times change. But Islam doesn’t mandate slavery. Yes it’s allowed in the Koran and Sharia, but it’s heavily recommended to free a slave. You got to understand slavery was practiced everywhere at that time. So saying ‘abolish slavery’ then would get you laughed at because it was simply not possible. Nowadays with every country abolishing slavery. It’s pretty much seen as prohibited by all our Christian and Muslim scholars. And even other religions, again, times change! The fact that it goes on in parts of the worlds is because of corruption, poverty and lack of law enforcement. Hell these things go on even at where I live but it’s very rare, I am Greek living in the UK which people refer to as a ‘developed country’ but human trafficking goes on. So we shouldn’t point fingers and say who’s fault it is, INSTEAD we need to actually address the problem and find solutions to fix it. We saying its because of a whole religion just give the human traffickers ease to get away with this hideous things, it doesn’t solve anything. We should do everything in our power to benefit humanity as a whole, to understand each other and solve each other’s problems.

    ​@@thaddeusal-britani1099 Illegally done by decree of the British Empire not of Islamic rulers that's the problem, abolition was forced upon the muslims by the British it was not done willingly that's why there's so many loopholes still to this day.

    Marti Waterman The Christian Bible was EDITTED when given to slaves and slaves were discouraged from practicing Christianity according to accounts. It wasn’t used to justify anything they HAD to convince other Europeans that it was in the Bible. It is the other way round. But in the Quran, Mohammed clearly fosters slavery.
