Child slavery; just another slice of Islamism pie. Via FrontPage:
In a triumph of the human spirit, it was reported last week that a woman sold into slavery at age 12 in Niger successfully sued the West African country’s government for not protecting her from this barbaric practice. Besides winning her case, the woman, Hadijatou Mani, 24, who was physically and sexually mistreated for years, also experienced the satisfaction of drawing the world’s attention to the obscenity of child slavery in Islamic countries.
And perhaps no where is child slavery more prevalent in Africa than in the Sudan. A Ugandan parliamentary committee heard last week that as many as 30,000 children abducted in Uganda over nearly two decades by the savage, anti-government Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) for use in its operations had been sold in Sudan’s Darfur region. The LRA has been fighting the Ugandan government for years with Sudanese government support. After their sale in Darfur, the children were employed as child soldiers and laborers, while others were “sold as sex slaves to the Sudanese.”
When in the Sudan from 1992 to 1996, Osama bin Laden was known as one of the biggest buyers of LRA-supplied children. The Islamist Khartoum government had given the al Qaeda leader one million acres of farmland “in perpetuity” for a road he had built in their country. It is believed bin Laden wanted the children as laborers for his farm, paying the LRA the price of one Kalashnikov rifle per child.
“Terrorist Osama bin Laden has used child slaves he bought from Ugandan rebels as forced labor on marijuana farms in Sudan in order to help fund his global terrorist network,” said a Ugandan general at the time.
Canadian diplomat Stephen Lewis twice tried to speak with Sudan’s Islamist president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, about LRA children in the Sudan when Lewis was deputy director at UNICEF. Lewis wanted the children returned to Uganda, but al-Bashir, who was indicted last March by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity committed in Darfur, “categorically denied” any such children existed in his country.
“I must admit that in all my time at Unicef…I had never dealt with anyone like Omar Hassan al-Bashir,” wrote Lewis recently. “I felt as though I had encountered evil incarnate. The fact that he was knowingly presiding over the death and emotional dismemberment of thousands of children mattered to him not one whit.”
