Slavery: Mauritania's best kept secret
BBC - Dec 14/04 - Skyra is a runaway Mauritanian slave. Her earliest childhood memories are of fetching water, tending animals and cooking and cleaning.
"I was tied up all night and all day. They only untied me so I could do my chores. In the end I could barely move my limbs."
She never earnt a single penny.
"All those years," she told me, "and I don't even own a goat".
Mohamed could not tell me his surname or his age.
As a slave he didn't own the right to either.
But in a candlelit shack in the sandy outskirts of the capital, Nouakchott, he told me the story of his life.
"I don't know how I became a slave," he told me.
"I was just born one. My family were slaves. We did all the hard work for our master and all we received in return was beatings."
Proof
After three attempts at making slavery illegal, the latest as recently as 1981, Mauritania has finally
enacted a law which goes further than ever before, making slave ownership punishable with a fine or prison sentence.
He has a point. Human beings in chains are not bought and sold in the full glare of Nouakchott's market. It's even worse than that, according to Boubakar Messaoud, founder of the local association SOS Slaves.
"A captured slave knows freedom, so to keep him you have to chain him," says Mr Messaoud.
"But a Mauritanian slave, whose parents and grandparents before him were slaves, doesn't need chains. He has been brought up as a domesticated animal."

THERE IS NOT ONE CHRISTIAN NATION ON EARTH WHERE MUSLIMS ARE PERSECUTED.
Yet in most nations where the majority of the population are Muslims, there is systematic government persecution of Christians.
"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

Christian Conversions - According to the Bible - Can NEVER be forced.
Any Conversion to Christianity which would be "Forced" would NOT be recognized by God. It is in
His True and KIND nature, that those who come to Him and choose to believe in Him, must come to Him OF
THEIR OWN FREE WILL.
Don't Let anyone tell you that Christians support Forced Conversions.
That is False. True Christianity is NEVER forced.
