Will Aljazeera also dare to address the human rights violation of black African refugees in the Arab world and the ongoing Arab slave trade of Africans. The shirking of the Arabs on African refugees
Bokre! You are right on the money! Excellent point. Aljazeera…. where are you, Aljazeera, for the millions in slavery/rape/abuse/ in the Arab world? At least, in Israel, these refugees are free to express their faith and feelings. Aljazeera – expose it all – don’t just ignore the plight of the thousands in the hands of Arabs in Arab countries.
What a shame to see people politicize matters on someone expenses . Either it be in Sudan ,
Ethiopia , Yemen , Israel , Egypt and other places the ones who became victims are our Eritrean fellows . From your comfort zone behind the screen to criticize Al-jezira on this
subject doesn’t make a sense . Any media establishment which air the plight of those poor
refugees should get appreciation if in fact we care about their safety and well being . We
must give priority to our people’s cause to show solidarity regardless at any cost.
Where were the Arab media, Arab intellectuals, Fatwa publishers, Arab doctors, Arab regimes … hiding when Eritreans and Darfurs were crying for help that the many western media and humanitarian groups were talking about. How many Arab media spoke or wrote about some of the horrible Arab slavery that Eritreans went through.
Here is a sample from Deutche Welle, that other media covered except the Arabs:
“Harrowing stories
Captives were often left lying in the dirt for days or weeks, he said. The traffickers used stones, chains, or branches from a tree to beat victims on their legs, back and even his head, Mulugeta explained. The pain was excruciating, but after a while, he admitted, he didn’t even feel it, his body was numb and it all became a blur. He often went in and out of consciousness. Then I asked him, as tenderly as possible: “Were you ever raped?” Wuldu struggled translating the question. Mulugeta stared at the city lights for what seemed to be hours, though it was only a couple of minutes. Finally Wuldu turns to me exasperated. “How can he talk about these things? What can he say? His concern is not for him. He worries for his daughters.” Mulugeta pulls out a tissue and begins to dab his eyes.
His upper body bent over, he stumbles when he tries to speak. Wuldu continued waving his hands in the air. “What could he do? He doesn’t remember much about the beatings.” Mulugeta said if wanted to see his daughters, the traffickers would bring the girls to him and rape them in front of him. There was nothing he could do. They cried for him, but he was forced to watch as they screamed and were violated, stripped and beaten.
The traffickers demanded $30,000 for each of them. The translator explained that many people in Mulugeta’s community in Eritrea raised the funds and gave them to his wife. When she sent money, the traffickers told him: “If we let one of the girls go, we don’t know if she will make it out, she might get taken by someone else, so you go – and send us the money. Your daughters will be safe here.”
Mulugeta arrived in Tel Aviv in November last year – forced to abandon his daughters. He was released after three months along with four others and brought to Israel where they were left out on the street. He says he is comfortable at the shelter. There are many men there who have gone through similar experiences. Wuldu expresses his admiration for Mulugeta. He often seeks his advice, his comfort and they pray. Mulugeta is grateful to the Israelis for giving him somewhere to say. “I want to give thanks,” he said.”
