Darkside of Dubai

and again the WHOLE GCC. The same dreadful practices of human trafficking, slavery, abuse. And exactly as slatch mentioned it: The state sponsored slave system also provides loopholes for all the other crooks, so called employment agencies that steal every penny from this poor souls. In my compound almost everyone "owns" a maid. They are working 24 hours living in a so called tiny maids-room where I would not even dare to put a dog in. They are not allowed to leave the house, some are even locked in during the day. It is unimaginable what is going on here. The pay is around 600 Dhs a month, no telling how much they still have to pay to the agency.
I agree that the Americans did and do a lot of criminal things in the Middle East and all over the World, but you cannot compare this to a corrupt system that is rotten in the core. As long as the lawmakers in the GCC do not change this inhumane system things will never change to the better in Noeatinham.
