Der Spiegel Online has it on March 4, 2008:
Sarkozy´s limited Mediterranean Union is to comprise all 27 EU Countries as well as the countries of the Western Balkans and the Euromediterranean Empire-partners: Mauritania, Morocco Algeria, Tunisia, (Libya underway), Egypt, the Palestinian Autonomy, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey.
Mauritania will be part of this? They still have slavery in Mauritania. (something that even the BBC is willing to acknowledge).
If this goes through, will the Euro-bureaucrats regulate the Arab/Islamic slave trade that's rampant in that section of the world with the same vigor that they use for regulating cheeses and asparagus? (ie. must keep your slaves at a certain temperature, must have your slave purchases regulated by two sets of officials)...

yes recently in moretania a democratic party is urging the government to look at israel embassy interference in internal affairs of Mauritania.
this party has evidance that israel embassy is financing minorities against the government.
and the israel embassy recently was attacked also...
that describes everything to me in this (full aggressive) post.
at the end of the day Israel should stop interfering in internal affairs of Mauritania.
I'm very curious, arabian. What kind of interference are you talking about? Can you link to a reputable source?
Slave-owning Mauritanians are making enough of a mess of their country. If anyone is working to make a change in the status quo there, good for them.
I agree. Israel should not interfere with Current Day Slaver mauritania.
The UN should put Current Day Slaver on the UN Human Rights council/committee, as an example, a role model of the proper way to treat humans.
Slavery was good for the prophet. So slavery today is good as well.
