@@synergyzer07 your point? Thats a really vague and meaningless connection in this context, that's like saying the nazis were christian and John F. Kennedy was christian so therefore JFK was a nazi.. it makes no sense
@@adad-ec6ht they are both racist Nazi like antizionist/antisemit, homophobic, discriminate females and are intolerant. better to support democracies like India and Israel ... general rule: always support what brings forth mankind, not what one just want support because grown up with. that's an unenlightened loser criterion.
+James Johansson Depends what you mean by "hidden from the public". Immigrant guest workers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia have no labor rights whatsoever; they do not get paid, they cannot quit their jobs until their employer releases them, they're subject to physical abuse, and all of this is perfectly legal. I wouldn't call this "hidden from the public". In these Gulf nations, slavery is out in the open, legal, and accepted by society.
+IN GOD WE TRUST Their pay is often withheld until the employer releases them. They sometimes never see that money at the end. If and when they get paid, it's slave wages.
+Arslan Not sure what religion has to do with this. Most of the victims are themselves Muslims from countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt, or Somalia. And withholding someone's pay and not allowing them to quit if they want to is the textbook definition of slavery. The reason people come to the Gulf is because they have no idea what's awaiting them. Some governments in source countries are starting to warn their citizens about migrating to the Gulf. You're so blinded by your unconditional knee-jerk defense of anyone "Muslim" that you're blind to how they treat their fellow Muslims. Shame on you.
+Arslan "Exactly eligion doesnt have to do anything with this..." So then why are saying that I'm criticizing the Gulf countries just because they're Muslim? "...BUT that is bullshit you are posting that happened few times..." No, it didn't "happen a few times". It's commonplace in the Gulf countries. There are no labor protections in those countries; the legal system allows slavery. Why are you taking this so personally? Are you Emirati, Qatari, or Saudi? Arslan sounds Turkish to me. Turkey is light years ahead of the Gulf countries on labor issues.
GOD THANK YOU FOR MY WARM BED THIS MORNING, AND MY CAN OF CHEF BORADEE MAC AND CHEESE. MY FREEDOM TO GO AND COME AS I PLEASE. SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD THEY HAVE IT. THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE AT THIS MOMENT.
Hearing the brave young woman's story about her baby breaks your heart. You wonder why more can't be done but it's hard to change aspects of a country or culture when they are enshrined by law and corruption. I hope these women were able to use the sewing skills they learned to create new lives for themselves.
Banu Maqil & Bani Hassan, Qahtan tribe 505 in Western Sahara and Mauritania I have a video with subtitles in Arabic and English on my channel ru-vid.com/show-UCNQXqfo15TNsvxCZIVNRD-Qfeatured
Skin color has nothing to do with anything. Most of the slaves that came to America were already slaves in their homeland. White people didn't just hop off the boat and start capturing blacks.
@@tyler-hp7oq , some of them did, but most were bought Only after all slaves in USA were black, did colour become a part of slavery Makes sense from their perspective since it's easier to identify someone who doesn't look like you Horrible, yeah
No, they're talking about the difference in skin color between Arabs and Africans when they meant "lighter skinned". It's not as drastic as the difference between the skin colors of black and white people, but there is a difference. Historically, lighter skinned Arabs have owned black slaves, so that's why they mentioned it in the video (and because it still seems to happen). Note how none of the slave owners were black (at least in this video) - their skin color (and ethnicity) may have been a factor when oppressing them
Emperor Krell don't say the African. Say the west African, us north and East Africans didnt commit such actions and plus Africans are different. There ruling systems are extremely diverse
The whole world is like one body. And all humans on earth is like one body, in spite of what some say. If some people are living without any freedoom in Mauretania it affects us all, more or less. If people in Syria are killed and wounded in a war, it affects us all. We are all one body, and if a tooth aches, or you get stung by a bee or get a finger cut off, it affects the whole body.There obviously are people fighting slavery in Mauretanie and that is a good sign. These good persons deserve our appreciation and support.
Some of the most severe trafficking in slavery is in Southeast Asia - the Mekong region including Cambodia. Slavery continues in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar / Burma, South Asia [the Indian subcontinent which includes India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, ans Sri Lanka. There are slaves in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Moldova. etc.
All slavery should be prevented across the world. Not just African slavery. Europeans were enslaved by Africans (Barbary Slave Trade). Slavery effects ALL races not just Africans.
This documentary helps to shed light on a struggle that most of us are oblivious to. Unfortunately, Mauritania is far from "slavery's last stronghold". Maybe it's one of the last places where an entire social structure built on slavery exists in the open, but millions of people live and work as slaves around the globe. And if you extend your definition to include people reliant on less than living wages, the numbers become astronomical.
@@xxjr8axx I agree with this 100%. Slavery means you are bound against your own will. Of which you are owned. Where you cannot leave. As in, my own ancestors on my fathers side. Owned by plantation owners. Personally, I have worked for shit wages before, for one of my first jobs. I no longer work for shit wages. I have a choice, as well as can and do pave my own path.
@d R of course they were in a far worse situation as miserably poor sustenance farmers, but no one who pretends to care when they talk about how bad capitalism is cared then because it wasn't a convenient part of their dumb political philosophy. Ironically you would have used China in this example if it were 10-20 years ago, but now they are too wealthy. Soon south east asia will be as well, then the next region of the world living in horrible sustenance farming will get your pitty
The enslavement I see here is beyond a physical one. It's kind of like the envisioned reality of poverty. That's the real slave master here poverty and lack of education. I mean yes the enslaved person can run a way but what will become of him or her. The government although they banned slavery them refusing to provide programs to help ex slaves, it's just the same as not banning slavery. I do see this weird social construct in certain parts of the world, it doesn't have to be called slavery but kind of the poorer the country, the cheaper the human labour. But God Bless to those fighting the problem, thanks for the doc, I will be following up this issue.
I like your take on this burdensome issue. However, what the government in Mauritania is doing pertaining to slavery and other human right violations is nothing but smoke and mirrors. This government is ready to give a lot of money to 'former terrorists' to help them fit back in society, but shows no willingness to rehabilitate those who are victim of slavery and/or government savagery. RACISM is what hinders many of the problem this country is facing. Combat racism and 'obsolete slavery' will slowly vanish. Regards
+MademoiselleLapin You are right; the people are mentally enslaved. Most of them do not know how to be independent because they have no resources or education to better themselves.
Exactly. If they leave the slave master, where will they go. Who will employ them? How will they earn a living? Where will they live? So they are force to stay under the Arab and half-Arab domination stuck in poverty and oppression because the slave master provides them subsistence for their labor.
I see this phenomenon when I went in Burkina Faso I was really angry and I asked why this happen? to the organization which I was worked with nobody give me an answer. I talked also with the slaves that were there, and I understand that they don't even know they are slave. Thank you that you are doing something to this people they need to open their eyes
Amazing ! I was desperately looking for a documentary about the slavery in Mauritania, cause I knew it still exists but they are hiding it as you’re saying.
I find it sad, how some cultural practices from many decades ago, still go on today. Every country has their own issues, but I hope one day the world can be free from slavery, pain, and hurt.
For me who been in this area I could do or show you better this a joke a trillions dollar's business and you show me local get out here. Follow the money CNN ain't shit
The French revolution came to be in a developed rich country that got pushed a bit far, the slaves in Mauritania could never rebel en mass, I doubt many of them know how to write or read, only thing I can belive being taught to them is the Quran.
Whether or not the story was true (he came across as very unbothered when talking about such a heinous practice that he was also a part of perpetrating so it does seem untrue), he does seem to be helping slaves that escaped. That's what matters
."..Even when the real chains stop to exist, mental chaines are still there for generations..." And even when people are free, their closest companion becomes misery. It is so good to see this man born in Bourgeoisie clearer skin class slowly become aware of the horror of slavery by reading about the french revolution , and decided to fight against it, along with former slaves, facing mental rigidity from most of his neighbours. I nearly cried , it make me believe that humanity means something, but maybe this story is too nice to be true, Im am too naive.
Abdisalan Aden For as long as the murderous enslaving rape cult of Pedophile Mohammed (PBUH) remains, there will be people enslaved, corpses copulated and goats grabbed.
The more you watch the more enraged it makes you the more it makes you want to do something about it what's being done about it this is some sick ass man s***.
The worst kind of slavery is "multigenerational". Multigenerational slavery exists when an individual(s) is out of slavery yet "psychologically" they are still slaves. "Psychological slavery" is when your thought processes have been acquiesced to the authority of another. Too, multigenerational slavery is perpetually handed down.
You are so right unfortunately although most blacks worldwide are free. We still have "psychological" slavery. We have the opportunity to become Engineers,doctors,lawyers,Scientist and Business owners rather though we chose to debase ourselves and not take advantage of the opportunities we have.It is so sad to see that blacks still worship anything that is not black. Rather we pull down our own selves gender wars black men and women exist in a way that no other race of opposite genders exist as a divided unit. Black men and women would sell out each other just to have the favor of other races.Added to that blacks lack ambition to become valuable contributors to society. We always settle the the bottom of every social setting status wise.
PUZZLEMENT: Is an individual (singularly, and/or jointly, and/or severally) enslaved when they wittingly and willfully acquiesce their inherit rights (e.g., self-interest, -worth, -determination, -esteem, -defense, -awareness, and so on) to another (singularly, and/or jointly, and/or severally)?
@@brownhippiex496 Its not really the same. White people abolsihed slavery a long time ago. My people still practice it to this day, and it hurts to see that my own people are involved in these practices. My grand-mother had a servant girl when i was a kid, and it really broke my heart to see how she had to live. Especially when i only realized she was in slavery when i became older...
The very idea of owning another human being saddens me. Yet there are those who think that there are people who are nothing more than property. Granting liberties with a sense of independence is an evil trick to keep ownership without responsibility. One would think that all forms of slavery would be abolished by now.
I'm mad for real I've been in Mauritania for 5 months and I just found out about it...I know lots of people work but they get paid not much but they are still treated like people
When I see things like this I realise just how lucky I really am, to be born in a country where no one cares, about my sex, race or religion. Where we are all educated and taught to respect human life. Just like how that ex slave master became educated and changed his mind about slavery, that can happen to others too. Bilah was a Black Muslim who was held dear to Mohammad's heart. I can also remember a long time ago reading in either the Qu'ran or a Hadith that he himself, HATED slavery, but felt that he had to abide by the rules of that land. Even if the Muslim masters were illiterate they would know of Bilah because he's well known. So Just like many other religious people, they pick and choose what they want to follow.
Mohammed never hated slavery and he never abolished it either in the Quran or the Hadith. In fact the contrary is true. There are many hadith and verses from the quran that support slavery, and regulate it. That is not abolishing. I can provide links or you can look at wiki islam and look up the references yourself. Stop spreading lies about islam to make it look good
shareena clarke where do YOU live because i don't know any place on this planet where what you say exists. even in America, the land of the free (wink wink)
If that were so why did Mohammed take slaves and trade them? There are numerous Ahadith all sahih of him doing this? Also there is historical doubt as to whether he made a last sermon
***** so you think you're better because you get your "truth" from a book and others from the Internet. Religion is the crown of all ignorance. Religion is the single most tragedy of humanity. You have the capacity to evaluate every information and reach an educated, rational, reasonable and logical conclusions. Accepting an ideology just because it's in print or because it's believed by many is extremely shallow and ridiculous. You must Learn to listen to all ideologies with an open mind but never accept them for the truth without questioning and proof. Religion and logic do not go together. You're either a reasonable logical being or you are an irrational, complacent and gullible being with no grip on reality. You shouldn't be so scared of unusual claims which question god or government. It's better to seek an uncomfortable truth than living with a comfortable lie.
first of all let me introduce my self...my name is mame cheikh mbaye,from senegal (next to mauritania)... what is funny is that these so called slave masters got african features (they don't look like arabs )...the difference beetween them and the slaves, is the skin complexion (they are light skin ).... people wonder why these people remain slave? well, because they are poor, and not educated....they are not aware....hope that the black people (all around the world) realize that education is the key...like Nas said :read more, learn more change..... Really got love for all my people all around the world, Africa, Brazil,USa....peace ps : mcmthug (mame cheikh mbaye....the thug (i am a big pac fan).. i'm far from being a thug...i'm a peacefull man )
mcmthug Amen it is the remnants of former slave master's and their children carrying on that shameful legacy. And Africans so brainwashed by Islam do not understand that they are born free. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sn32cWUT83E.html 🎥 The Haitian Revolution - Documentary (2009) - RU-vid The slave master's children were killed in Haiti for this very reason.
mcmthug ya in east europe in the villages is the same problem ,people are slaves they work almost for nomoney even has pfysical torture on them from richest ones
Nathan gucci say whatever ignorant statement you desire about islaam, just think...when i started writing this response to your shortsighted self by the time i'm dome they'll be more muslims than when i started! 😁
These people are sitting in a tent in the desert, starving and dying, and they proclaim that they are actually waiting for THE GOVERNMENT to step into their lives and fix everything. My head is exploding.
Pretty strong documentary, but slavery is not unique to Mauritania, you can find it hidden in Los Angeles, in Phoenix, in Atlanta, London and many other big metropolis of the world.
Actually it is true, and not just sexual slavery. It's especially common of women coming from Latin America and Asia. They come here and then the people that got them here(either legally or illegally) claim they are owed money, even if they have already been paid, and then they keep people as slaves, supposedly paying off a debt, but the debt never gets paid off. It's similar to what Mining companies used to do to miners. They never pay you, they only write down that you paid off some debt, or pay you in credit or tokens of value (but NOT money), then they keep adding to the debt by charging you for food, water, board, etc.
That's definitely true but I think there's a huge difference between underground human trafficking and socially accepted, institutional slavery. Speaking sociologically
I'm pretty sure there was no spanish otherwise I would've understood it since I speak it. I did understand the French though, very cool and a reminder of colonialism

Slavery exists all over Africa and in Arab countries as well as in South East Asia, China...and there are still slaves in America and Europe including the UK. It's everywhere in fact but most common in Islamic countries as it is condoned and even encouraged in Islam.
Don't forget though, at the same time the French were espousing 'all men are born equal' they were ruling over some of the most brutal conditions of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in Haiti.
Prophet Mohammad 's(pbuh) last sermon: "Allmankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly." "Do not therefore do injustice to yourselves..."
I am glad I watched this video because I was completely unaware of the slavery still ongoing in Mauritania. On the other hand, I see it as you do, slavery exists all throughout the world and in every economic class (if class still exists). The corporations make slaves of their "employees" and groups who highly regard themselves and their own wants and needs have, since the fall of Adam and Eve, suppressed and oppressed others and turned them into slaves. Slavery is wicked to its core.
@@Nikwunu I have to agree with you completely. To equate employment with what was shown in this video - the lack of dignity, the lack of freedom, being traded and used as someone else's property, being treated as less valuable than even an animal - is mind boggling.
This will never vanish these people deserve for their story to be told continuously because they have suffered for no reason the problem is you think you can buy peoples pain and suffering but you cannot
Good story, but hardly the last vestige of slavery in the world. What would you call a child working in the factories in China, or those that make our mass market clothing for a $1 a day? How about the human sex trade or the Bangladeshis building Dubai? There are, sadly, so many more examples of slavery. Just saying.
yeah, you dont really know that much about Chinese factories. Just ask Chinese about it. It's a low wage, but somehow they still manage to earn enough to feed their family back home. There are sweat shops, but its a low wage, not slavery. Human sex trafficking is slavery of course. but its trafficking. Its not specific to one country. The Bangladeshis building Dubai live in bad conditions, low wages but they are there for a reason. Money.
Abolishing slavery on paper alone makes no sense. What would a freed slave do to earn an income? Rent himself out to the same or another master for pay instead of food. What has changed? The fact that he gets a salary to buy food instead of the food itself?
I hope all Mauritanians under the yoke of slavery can be FREED as soon as possible ........ smh sigh, it's truly saddening to think that Modern-day slavery exists in Africa :(
Um, ....What do the two facts ("I am white") and ("I'm 100 percent against slavery. It's just wrong") have to do with each other? Were you suggesting that, had you been black or brown, you'd be only 72 percent against slavery? Yes, it is true that the first international movement to abolish chattel slavery worldwide was started by white people (the British, specifically the Clapham sect of Christian evangelicals). And that it had been whites who first promulgated the natural right theory of human beings as being free in terms of individual liberty. Neither Europeans (nor Arabs) had INTRODUCED slavery to Africa (which existed since time immemorial); but Europeans did FORCE most Africans to give up the institution of chattel slavery in the late 19th century. ...Individual liberty being an idea that was born in Europe (it was a Western idea exported to the world). Is THAT what you were trying to say?
The 2016 Global Slavery Index published by the Walk Free Foundation estimates that 45.8 million people are in some form of slavery in 167 countries. 58 percent of people in slavery are living in just five countries: India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan.May 31, 2016
This is insane the world isn't putting more effort into talking about this and people in the UK and US are worrying about their past history and micro-aggressions.
Mauritania isn't the last stonghold of slavery. There is slavery in: -Rastaveks in Haïti -Construction builders in the Gulf States -Dalits in India -Sex slaves in Western Europe -Plantationslaves in West-Africa -etc.
hi, I strongly agreed with you an by the way, did you see the rageh omaar facebook page in wich he has several slavery documenatry footage? they are really good and, of course, form a wider perspective. see you
That's how Liberia started. In the 1800's the US gave US ex-slaves the chance if they wanted to, to go to a new place in Africa called "Freetown" which turned into Liberia. That's why most all have English names The US put money into it, it actually was getting better and better, but...like any race, the American blacks were more educated and civil, and they eventually ran them off. Hotels, Banks were built, but war never stops.
vin russo Liberia was practically a U.S. colony with its constitution being a reflection of the U.S.' - named after the U.S. president, James Monroe. Even today, Liberia still possesses the U.S.' imprint on its flag. The colonisation process was not initiated by Blacks but White Christians such as Robert Finley, Henry Clay, John Randolph - who were White supremacists and viewed Blacks as a threat towards Whites in the workforce; percieving Blacks as a burden to the U.S. and aspiring to send them back to Africa. This motion was not based on altruism. Although there was a significant demographic of Black diasporans in the country, the country was not regulated by Black diasporans but White-Americans. As a Black nationalist, Liberia was nowhere near considered to be a Black nation. Yes, there were prominent Blacks such as Martin Dulany who possessed aspirations to assemble Liberia into a Black country. Henry McNeal Turner, amongst the most notable Blacks in history, was permitting Blacks to migrate into Liberia via his ships which inspired Marcus Garvey to obtain the ambition to resettle Blacks to Africa via his fleets. However, nonetheless, Liberia was still controlled by Europeans, alongside having Blacks who were psychologically affected with Willie Lynch syndrome, believing they were superior to other Blacks because how adjacent their mindsets were to the White man. These diasporan Blacks had an inferiority complex under Whites because of their race, indoctrinated into believing they were inferior to Whites via the brainwashing that was inflicted upon them through religion. Despite, these people having an inferiority-complex under Whites - they had a superiority-complex over native-Africans due to their excessive African features in comparison to these diluted Black-Diasporians, lack of connection with a White Jesus, etc. Blacks in Liberia were not in the correct mindset for nation-building up in this era due to their mindsets. It wasn't until decades after, Marcus Garvey preached for Black Unity, being Black First, no matter where one lies across the globe, establishing the largest Black movement in the U.S.A, the U.N.I.A without even being an American, the most significant Black movement in the world. Garvey had inspired pride in Blacks. Blacks were finally proud to be Black. His era ended after being targeted by the U.S. government, J Edgar Hoover, FBI director, which he had infiltrated and dismantled Garvey's movement through coons such as James Wormely Jones who had infiltrated Garvey's U.NI.A which was a considerable factor in the deportation of Marcus Garvey alongside W.E.B Du Bois who accommodated the "Garvey Must Go Campaign."
ReturnoftheBrotha: Marcus still inspires us today. How dare you denigrate our prince. You sniveling unaccomplished pig. Marcus did more for black people in one day than you have in your whole worthless servile life. Change it to ReturnoftheTom.
Slavery is not completed abolished in America, The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime---except as punishment for a crime.
