| #4 Typical BBC. Too political correct to mention that the enslavers are Arab Muslims. |

| #3 International human rights organisations such as Amnesty International are prevented from entering the country to conduct research. That and the lack of decent 4-star hotels, no cheap fax/internet access, the problem not seen as a worthy fund-raising opportunity.... |

| #2 slavery remains Mauritania's best kept open secret. Thanks to the silence of the MSM and Amnsasty, Jessie Jackson and the women's groups, the world will continue to focus on the "horrors" of Gitmo and ignore women like this. Shameful. |
