US warned Mauritania’s ‘total failure’ to end Islamic slavery should rule out trade benefits

Slavery is sanctioned in Islam. The word for a black person in Arabic is abid, or slave. Makes you scratch your head, doesn’t it? Consider how many African Americans convert to Islam. Or worse yet, Arabic is now mandatory in a Harlem public school. More proof of the epic failure of African American leadership.

This speaks to the power of disinformation and propaganda, and the effects of the brutal enforcement of the blasphemy laws under Islam (do not criticize Islam, under penalty of death). The truth remains hidden. Unfathomable human rights abuses and shocking war crimes remain largely unknown to the masses — not to the millions of victims, but they have been silenced.

“US warned Mauritania’s ‘total failure’ on slavery should rule out trade benefits,” by Rebecca Ratcliffe, Guardian, August 25, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The routine abuse of thousands of enslaved Mauritanians, including rape, beatings and unpaid labour, should prevent the African republic from receiving US trade benefits, American labour unions have said.

Mauritania, which has one of the highest rates of modern-day slavery in the world and has been roundly criticised for its poor human rights record, is currently on a list of countries that benefit from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa). The act, designed to promote the economic development of countries that can show they uphold human rights and meet labour standards, enables African countries to export goods duty-free to US markets.

The US trade union AFL-CIO, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, this week called on the US trade representative to remove Mauritania from the roster of approved countries.

“The government of Mauritania routinely fails to conduct investigations into cases of slavery, rarely pursues prosecutions for those responsible for the practice and fails to ensure access to remedy or otherwise support victims,” the union wrote in a petition, adding that the state harasses and imprisons anti-slavery activists and will not publicly acknowledge the continued existence of slavery.

“This represents a total failure to take any meaningful steps to establish freedom from forced labour,” said the petition.

Mauritania abolished slavery in 1981, the last country in the world to do so, but only made it a crime in 2007. Since then, campaigners say the government has passed a handful of inefficient reforms and failed to properly address the issue.

Although the union says it is unlikely the US will immediately remove Mauritania from the Agoa list, Celeste Drake, trade and globalisation policy specialist at the AFL-CIO, said the petition should “put Mauritania on watch”….

“It took decades to actually have a conviction let alone compensation for any victims,” he said. “One issue we have with the agency [Tadamoun] is that it doesn’t involve any of the former slaves. It’s run by the white Moor community there, and it focuses a lot on a poverty alleviation mandate and doesn’t really address the slavery issues.”…

And the dumb Left/Liberals/BLM rail against “slavery” in America that died out more than 100 years ago while they support Islam which practices slavery even today !

Jihadis in America are working steadily to takeover and impose sharia drip by drip and Left/Liberal useful idiots are helping them out of ignorance or cash or stupidity.

Welcome to Islamic state of Michiganistan and it will soon have Muslim brotherhood approved Muslim stealth jihadi Governor http://bit.ly/2hGhVxY

unite , fund conservative websites to keep fighting,informing and educating, share the info and make sure to never vote for pro-islam politicians on both sides.

Of course they rail against ante-bellum slavery in the USA. They can shake down whitey’s guilt complex- they know they won’t get diddly squat from Mauritania, so they don’t care about that.

It’s a crime against humanity that Mauritania allows slavery like this. No human being deserves to be enslaved, mistreated, or oppressed.
We should ban trade with Mauritania–the world can’t accept slavery anywhere.

That is the stupid part of the antifa and assorted nut cults in America. Slavery has been abolished for over 100 years, yet these fools are still fighting old forgotten battles. Where in some countries where slavery is a fact of life, these protesting fools ignore it. It is easier to fight the fiction of the past rather than deal with the reality of today.
