In 1950, Dubai was a melting pot of peoples from around the Gulf. The indigenous Arabs were mainly pearl divers, while about half the population consisted of merchant families from Persia and India who used their foreign connections to turn Dubai into a trade hub for goods between Asia and Europe.
But a lot has changed since then.
The discovery of oil drastically changed the social fabric of Dubai. In this video, we'll explore how Dubai transformed into the highly stratified society we know today, with some of the highest numbers of modern slaves in the world.

    Please get you facts straight. The Greek civil war is a product of the violence of the British together with all the traitors, another words the British forces allied with the people that collaborated with the Germans during the occupation , and went against the resistance. Greece may be the only country that the allied forces went against the resistance. if you ask Greeks even today they do not know what is October 12 1944. it is the day that the ELAS/EAM forces liberated Athens, and so on. The fact is that the will of the people was violated by British and the right wing Government.

    “No one talks about it”, yeah, right. Everyone does, nothing new. It’s a shame you didn’t even highlight how it’s Western companies that sub contracts and benefits greatly from the so called “slave labour” under shell companies, which then rents out those workers to other local companies. Where thousands of British registered companies are in the UAE that benefit directly from this.

    When a religion explicitly states that non-believers should deleted or enslaved it kind of requires this behaviour. But woke western muppets consider all religions equally valid and acceptable despite all evidence to the contrary. We have to start fighting back against believers in the laughingly called religion of peace before the end us all.
