Image description

African captives in a palm grove On November 9, 1981, slavery was abolished in Mauritania by former president Mohamed Khouna Ould Haidalla [1]. It was the last country in the world to put an end to this practice. Modern slavery in Mauritania has its roots in centuries of trans-Sahara trafficking for the purposes of slavery and forced labour and in a caste system where black populations - particularly Haratines - are subject to the domination of Arab-Berber groups.
