What is the history of slavery in the Islamic / Arab middle east? When did those countries abolish it? I think it was fairly recent, some in the 20th century... I mean not counting recent the scandal from the guardian about migrant workers who can’t get an exit visa.
PS: I am curious why asking about continuing slavery in other parts of the world importing Black slaves is so heavily downvoted. Aren’t people equal regardless of where in the world they are? Why discourage concern and knowledge about slavery of people of African descent??
This is like when the Paris attacks happened and the world was lit up in French colors while on the same day the same group (ISIS) killed just as many people at a stadium Beirut, Lebanon and no one seemed to even mention them. We need to move past our navel gazing.
