1. Arabs and Muslims Own Black Slaves in Five African Countries
https://www.iabolish.org/arabs-and-muslims-own-black-slaves-in-five-african-countries/
Extracts:
Today, an estimate of between 529,000 and 869,000* black men, women, and children are still bought, owned, sold, and traded by Arab and black Muslim masters in five African countries.
=============
In Algeria, Sub-Saharan Africans fleeing violence and poverty for Europe are enslaved by Algerian Arabs as they try to cross the Mediterranean. Today, according to the Global Slavery Index, around 106,000 black Africans are estimated to be enslaved.
Migrant women, but also children (both male and female), risk being forced into sexual slavery, while men perform unskilled labor.....
=============
As of 2016, according to the U.N., there are between 700,000 and 1 million black African migrants currently in Libya; of these, the Global Slavery Index estimates many as 48,000 of them live as slaves of some nature. Survivors report torture and sexual and slavery, some even forced to become prostitutes only after they have reached their destinations.
The slave trade in Libya became international news when CNN obtained video of an actual slave auction in 2017.
=============
In Mauritania, the very structure of society reinforces slavery. Over the centuries a cruel class system has evolved in which the lighter-skinned Arabs (beydanes) and Arabized Berbers rule over the black former slaves who have been forcibly Arabized over time (haratin), those free blacks in the south who refuse Arabization calling themselves "Negro-Africans," and the black chattel slave class (abid) at the bottom. Though the country is entirely Muslim, and Islam theoretically forbids the enslavement of one Muslim by another, the severity of Arab racism even supersedes adherence to the Shari'ah (Islamic law).
In 1993, a U.S. State Department report estimated that between 30,000 and 90,000 blacks lived as slaves owned by private masters. In 2011, a CNN investigation estimated that the number could be as high as between 340,000 and 680,000.
=============
The most infamous incident of a slave raid was Boko Haram's abduction of 276 Christian schoolgirls in the town of Chibok on April 14, 2014 which inspired Michelle Obama's '#BringBackOurGirls# hashtag. Most slaves are young girls, kidnapped and kept as the concubines of the Islamic soldiers, some even preferring to become suicide bombers to escape the life of a sex slave.
Though the U.S. State Department's 2018 human rights report on Nigeria mentions that the number of slaves captured and owned by Boko Haram terrorists today could be in the thousands, the full number is as of now 'unknown.'
The human rights organization Open Doors USA has also ranked Nigeria as no. 12 on its list of the countries most guilty of persecuting and massacring Christians.
=============
In Sudan, slavery remains as a painful vestige of the Second Sudanese Civil War (1983 - 2005), during which the Arab Muslim government in the north of the country declared a jihad upon the black, largely Christian south, killing perhaps 2.5 million people and enslaving as many as 200,000.
Though the war ended in 2005 and black South Sudan became the world's newest nation on July 9, 2011, many black slaves remain as the property of Arab masters across the new border in the north. The exact number is not known, but as of 2006, James Aguer Alic, a former Sudanese government minister, estimated that it could be as high as 35,000.
The slaves lucky enough to be liberated in mass buy-backs 'mostly women' tell hideous stories of abduction, beatings, forced conversion to Islam, grueling labor, Islamic vaginal mutilation, malnutrition, and rape.

2. European Court of Justice approves Belgian kosher slaughter ban
https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/european-court-of-justice-approves-belgian-kosher-slaughter-ban-652402
The laws requiring animals to be stunned before they are slaughtered strike "a fair balance between animal welfare" and religious freedom.
Israel's Foreign Ministry said the ruling "sends a harsh message to the Jews of all of Europe. Beyond the fact that the decision harms freedom of worship and religion in Europe, which is a core value of the EU, it signals to Jewish communities that they are not wanted in Europe."
A way to change the decision and allow Jewish Europeans to continue to observe their religion should be found, the Foreign Ministry said.
"Any other decision contradicts the value of freedom of religion that EU citizens justly support," a ministry spokesman said.
Israeli Ambassador to Belgium Emmanuel Nahshon said the ruling is "a catastrophic decision, a blow to Jewish life in Europe. Apparently, tolerance and diversity are empty words in the eyes of some Europeans."

3. Mutant Covid is already all over Europe

... learning about the new Covid strain. Here are some facts about it.
It's the 74th known mutation'
It was discovered in the UK in September and notified to the WHO.
The reason it was discovered first in the UK was not because it started in the UK. It was because the UK has the most advanced genomic monitoring regime in the world.
Denmark also conducts genomic sequencing, and also discovered the new strain, in Denmark'
Other European countries are less advanced in this area of science. They have not spotted this new strain, not because they don't have it, but because they have not been monitoring it. The new strain captured the media's attention, only last week. Not because of its discovery. That's been old news since September. It was because it was discovered to be more infectious.
The higher infectiousness was discovered in the UK, in another world first, and reported to the WHO.
The rapidly rising infection rate throughout Europe, almost certainly involves the new strain.
The new strain is already firmly embedded in Europe. Don't worry about getting the new strain. You already have it. You just don't know because you do not have the scientific capability to monitor it.
Christian Drosten, Angela's Merkel's pandemic guru, says the mutation is almost certainly spreading in Germany already.
