Can't mock slavery.

The Islamic Republic of Mauritania:

French.

HDI, 155th.

From Wikipedia:

"The government of Mauritania was overthrown on August 6, 2008, in a militarycoup d'état led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. On 16 April 2009, General Aziz resigned from the military to run for president in the 19 July elections, which he won.
In Mauritania about 20% of the population live on less than US$1.25 per day.[10] Slavery in Mauritania has been called a major human rights issue, with over 150,000 people[11] – proportionally the highest for any country – being enslaved against their will, especially enemies of the government.[12] Higher estimates suggest 10% to 20% of the population (340,000 to 680,000 people) is enslaved.[13] Additional human rights concerns in Mauritania include female genital mutilation,[14] child labour, and human trafficking."
Makes me physically ill. So far, Africa has made me physically ill. So far, Africa is the asshole of mankind.
