Remember that slave-owning culture still exists throughout many middle-eastern and north african countries. Many of these countries still participated in the slave-trade until 40-50 years ago. The concept of all-but-owning another human is not shocking or appalling or immoral, to far too many, still. I'm angry with any of he organizations who go in to business arrangements like this, knowing full-well how workers are treated.
Slavery is okay as long as its not stateside.
People in the "modernized West" are often utterly clueless about the realities in the rest of the world.
Nobody ever blamed the Qattaris for too much humanitarianism.
that article is over three years old but yes, workers building the stadium are effectivly slaves, living and working in terrible conditions. And dying.
When the stadium is completed, the deaths, mentioned in the three years' old article, will still be linked to it.
What have they died from?
Working in scorching heat with inadequate hydration, sun up to sun down. They are dying of heart issues.
This is so sad. It is amazing to me how little some group's lives matter to those who are powerful. Our world is a mess with the crazy bid for money ?
