You would think that a continent which was on the receiving Slave trade of the 16th to 19th centuries would have learnt its lessons. Not so for Africa, where ethnic Ethiopian "Oromo  and Somaliland minority group for "great disaster" Slave trade is still alive Somaliland in a slightly different shape.

Even though slavery in its original sense is not very common place these days, it was wrong to assume that “slavery is an issue from a bygone era. But modern time that it exists in countries ravaged by war and poverty.” And Somaliland is not exception.

Human trafficking, forced labour, slavery or slavery-like practices like debt bondage, forced or servile marriage and sale or exploitation of kids and child soldiers mostly co-opted against their will, remain serious issues in Somaliland. Slavery in Somaliland particularly affects women and children, who are the most vulnerable among the vulnerable.  Silanyo regime 's mixing groups of religious dictatorships and dynastic or family-based dictatorships have created all these problem.

“We are all responsible for the most appalling situations where modern slavery exists and the desperate misery it brings upon our fellow human beings.
