Thank you so much for posting this! More people need to learn that widespread slavery still exists in Mauritania.

This is really sick. These Slave Owners should burn in hell of what they do to those people. I really hope something good will happen there for those poor people.

As an African(blackman)I blame 1st the ECOWAS which Mauretania is a member,then the African Union for cowardice and the entire western hypocrisy!Sadam Hussein died for lesser crime than this!Do U all know that Iraqi's have blacks as well be not slaves? I guess there wasn't oil in Mauretania so no interest!Now that something is found there,there's a need for invasion and justice!These Africans need to be armed&the rest is history!The Arabs'll have to swim the entire Atlantic or the meditarrenian!

@abdulbade I do not advertise Christians (Im atheist). But if you ask a Christian That I can answer only as: It's not the Christians, killing of innocent black people in Africa, It's not Christians today have black slaves. This deal BAD MUSLIM.

@abdulbade Muslims are still against the world which is not a Muslim. This is not true that the dawn of the Muslim hates America. The Muslim world hates all infidels. This is not a problem of modern Muslims. I read a lot of pre-war books (travel, historical, ethnographic). Before the war, Muslims also had very bad relations with the world of the west. Quran preaches hatred! Therefore the Koran is not acceptable. I confess religion of "love and goodness"!

@abdulbade is alien! but less invasive! if I invite you to Christianity? I am an atheist and I do not suggest Christianity. but I I am against Islam because Islam conquers the infidel remains Christians have done so only in the Middle Ages. Muslims still do. I read a lot about the Quran. In the Qur'an it says that the infidels is the second category of people that a third fight them. The Bible tells us love all people and love the Koran says only the followers of Allah.

@Camdentown100

islam is foreign to them, but christianity isnt? be fare!

[Camdentown100]

Arabs are a problem, Islam is the problem.

I love black people but I think that Islam is not for black people. Islam is a religion imposed on black people Islam brought the Arabs who conquered North Africa. Arabs traded slaves and do it today (Tuareg, but not only). See what is happening today in Sudan. Islam is referred to as the conquest of the black population. People from Africa are The beautiful local religions and do not need foreign Islam.

GREETINGS FROM POLAND!
