While the Jewish liberals continue to blame the White man for all the world’s evils, Africa, which has always been the biggest bastion of slavery, continues to own slaves.

From Wikipedia:

Slavery in Mauritania is an entrenched phenomenon the national government has repeatedly tried to abolish, banning the practice in 1905, 1981, and August 2007. The descendants of black Africans abducted into slavery now live in Mauritania as “blacks” or haratin and some of them still serve the brown-skinned “Moors” (Berbers or mixed Berber-Arabs, collectively known as al-bidhaan).

The number of slaves in the country is estimated to be up to 600,000 men, women and children, or 20% of the population of 3,069,000 people. Even though slavery is illegal, sociologist Kevin Bales believes that Mauritania is the country with the largest proportion of its population in slavery.

Mauritanian organizations like Al’Hor الحر (translated as “the free”), In’itaq إنعتاق (translated as “emancipation”) and SOS Esclaves (meaning “SOS Slaves” in French) work against slavery.

A United Nations mission, headed by UN Special Rapporteur and mission leader Gulnara Shahinian, was in Mauritania in November 2009 to evaluate slavery practices in the country. The mission’s findings were presented to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in August 2010.
