Chattel slavery in Sudan
The enslavement of the Dinkas in southern Sudan may be the most horrific and
well-known example of contemporary slavery. According to 1993 U.S. State
Department estimates, up to 90,000 blacks are owned by North African Arabs,
and often sold as property in a thriving slave trade for as little as $15 per
human being.

Animist tribes in southern Sudan are frequently invaded by Arab militias from
the North, who kill the men and enslave the women and children. The Arabs
consider it a traditional right to enslave southerners, and to own chattel
slaves (slaves owned as personal property).
Physical mutilation is practiced upon these slaves not only to prevent
escape, but to enforce the owners' ideologies. According to an ASI
report: "Kon, a thirteen-year-old Dinka boy, was abducted by Arab nomads and
taken to a merchant's house. There he found several Dinka men hobbling, their
Achilles tendons cut because they refused to become Muslims. Threatened with
the same treatment the boy converted."
In a detailed article by Charles Jacobs for the American Anti-Slavery Group
(ASI), Jacobs recounts how a 10-year-old child was taken in a raid on her
village in southern Sudan, and branded by her master with a hot iron pot
