35 ألف "عبد" جنوب سوداني محتجزون في السودان

Quote: I first visited Southern Sudan in March 2008 with a group called “Christian Solidarity International.” I had learned of their work from fellow talk show host Joe Madison who had been to the area and has devoted years and hours of airtime to the issue of slavery in the region. We took five other radio talk show hosts on the trip to see repatriation of slaves to their home villages. It was amazing to see people who had been through so many traumas finally being allowed to come home. Christian Solidarity International has been working in the area for sixteen years and has repatriated over 100,000 slaves. Estimates are that there are about 35,000 slaves left in Northern Sudan. Slaves are given back by exchanging cow vaccine for people and the exchange takes place with the help of the local Arab-Dinka Peace Committees. http://mediavoicesforchildren.org/?p=3083
