In 1981, Mauritania made slavery illegal, the last country in the world to do so. Slavery has a long history in this north African desert nation. For centuries, Arabic-speaking Moors raided African villages, resulting in a rigid caste system that still exists to this day, with darker-skinned inhabitants beholden to their lighter-skinned “masters”

I have no respect for these African governments who sit around and let this shyt happen

Moctar was born into slavery in an Arab-Berber family, where he was forced to work alongside his mother and brother. In 2012, after several attempts, he managed to escape and met an activist from the anti-slavery movement. He tried to liberate his mother and brother, but they refused to go with him. His mother even criticised his escape and testified against him. “When I was younger, my mother told me every night that we must respect our masters, because their caste is higher than ours, and they are saints,” says Moctar

The unspeakable truth about slavery in Mauritania
I can't even begin to fathom the pain of betrayal he felt.

Its these people they meant when ignorant folks said "slavery was a choice"..but its obvious they are completely brainwashed on some Stockholm bullshyt.
The human mind is a terrible thing to waste

I feel like Mauritanian has had human rights violations even worse than this in the past.

And I'm not even trying to be inflammatory, I think they still perform female circumcision there. It's an ultra conservative Muslim country.

Yep, one of the handful of places still practicing customary female genital mutilation. this shyt could pop off into an actual revolution there
