The Forgotten Holocaust:
The Eastern Slave Trade
Due to the enormous length of the Arab Slave Trade, from 700 to 1911AD, it is impossible to be certain of the numbers of Africans sold in this system. Estimates place the numbers somewhere around 14 million: at least 9.6 million African women and 4.4 African men.

Slavery was still legal in Saudia Arabia up until the 1950's.
It still occurs behind closed doors in countries like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Dubai, and Sudan.
10 of thousands of young boys from Africa were used as slaves up until recently in the camel racing industry held in the UAE.
Every year, young women from europe, russia, india, and asia are kidnapped and end up as sex slaves for middle-eastern men never to be heard from again.
Maids and servants brought in from countries like Pakistan, India, Indonesia to work for rich arab families in countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia become slaves and sex slaves. When they arrive, their passports are seized, they are kept locked up as they cook, clean, and act as nannies, they are paid nothing, and abused as their masters wish. If any escape and go to police stations to report this, they are immediatly deported back to their countries of orgin without the rapists/inslavers facing any kind of trial or punishment.
THe new development in cities of the middle-east like Dubai are built with slave labor by workers from countries like Pakistan. Foreign construction workers are paid minimum wage and forced to work 12-15 hour days. Many go months without being paid at all. The arabs who live in these countries are completely incapable of building any of these buildings/projects themselves. Its part of their religious belief that manual labor is beneath them.
