The kidnapped Pakistani Camel Jockeys in United Arab Republic

There are 3000 kidnapped children converted into camel jockeys for the racing industry in UAE, virtually all from Pakistan. Luckily, their fellow believers have been so honorable to equip these hardworking children with biker helmets and good saddles,

The lucky winners win some excellent red roses given out as premiums. The delivery of these are under the honorable protection of a well armed and friendly guard with a symbolic AK47 for the occasion. International pressure has now made UAE recently, only 2 months ago to outlaw using these kidnapped children as jockeys, and replace them with Japanese jockey robots.

I tnink the West should equip these robots with secret weapons and cameras as well as capabilities for remote control. Imagine a mechanized camel rider brigade of combat robots, at the southwestern end of the Arab Peninsula.
3000 Camel mounted combat robots in the guise of professional camel jockeys is a brilliant vision. I can also see that they replace these children gradually, so we will see transition period races with Kawazaki Camel Series Model 911 Charlie Alpha Motel Echo London X-07 race against 3 year old Mustafa in Abu Dhabi, in the annual Nestle Cup, where the big prize is 6 months mother milk replacement as well as a teaching program in learning how to talk and walk.
I wonder what these infant jockeys will work with when they are too outgrown to compete. Manning the oil industry for the locals, watching them work? I wonder if someone could tell me how to become a Camel Jockey agent. Should I acquire a private kinder garden, should I act out Fagin in Oliver Twist, or should I be introduced by the locals, possibly converting religion. Possibly, from a cultural relativist viewpoint, this is all good. But is it?
 
The Arabs like to import people to do the work for them. Even kids.
 
Exactly. They import labor from Pakistan, get 30 % unemployment, so people need to leave the country to get a job, leave for the west of course.

I suppose that's why they export people to man our pizza places.
The price of pizzaguys is hovering around $60 for the first time. I wonder what OPEC (Organization of Pizzaguy Exporting Countries) is planning to do about it.

That's a rather broad statement don't you think? The Europeans like to press unemployed woman to work as sex slaves (Germany), or the Africans like to kill all vegetables (Mugabe).
 
Well, I am not defending the Germans, with 300 000 German sex tourists on an annual basis.
 
Provolution: please post a link to the source for your story.
 
This story would be much more interesting if the opening poster didn't fill it with his "humor."

Parents fail to claim freed Pakistani camel jockeys

They have finally returned home from a brutal life in the United Arab Emirates, but 22 Pakistani children who worked as camel jockeys have still not been claimed by their parents.

The youngsters aged between six and 17 who flew into the eastern city of Lahore were the first to be repatriated under an agreement between the United Nations Children's fund UNICEF and the governments of Pakistan and the Gulf sheikhdom.

However, there were no family members there to welcome the children after their absences of two to seven years, and a Pakistani court had no choice but to order that they be kept in a protection centre.

"None of the parents or guardians approached us to get their kids back," the centre's manager Shazia Ijaz said as the children sat in the city's Child Protection Court and stared at the judge.

Judge Ahmed Nawaz Ranjha directed police to locate their parents and guardians and also asked the welfare groups to help rehabilitate the children in their hometowns.

"The parents of the kids can get custody of their children through legal procedures," the judge told AFP.

But their plight has touched Ranjha, who is not unaccustomed to stories of hardship in Pakistan, where child labour remains common and a third of the population lives below the poverty line.

"I have seen a documentary on camel race. The camel runs when the child jockeys cry. If they fall off the camel's back, it is a miracle for them to survive."

Most of the children, who are now fluent in Arabic, do not even know who their fathers and mothers are, Ijaz said. But she believes the majority are from the dusty desert town of Rahim Yar Khan, in Pakistan's central Punjab province.

Poor parents from the backward region have in the past reportedly sold their children to human traffickers for as little as just 2,100 dollars. The children smuggled into the UAE are then trained to race camels for big cash prizes.

Six-year-old Suleman said he knew "nothing" about his father but he remembers his hometown is Rahim Yar Khan.

Ghulam Abbas, eight, said he stayed in Dubai for three years. "My father's name is Muhammad Abbas. But I don't know where I was born and where was my home in Pakistan," he said.

The UAE signed a repatriation pact with UNICEF in May, less than a month after a ban on using any jockeys who are aged under 16 and who weigh less than 45 kilograms (100 pounds) came into force.

It now plans to mount robot jockeys on racing camels later this year, after becoming the second state in the region after Qatar to test the automatons in April.

Children have reportedly been injured and killed in races either from being tossed by the animal or being dragged along after being partially dislodged from the rope binding them to the animals.

Faiza Asghar, adviser to the government of Punjab province, said about 2,800 child camel racers were still in the UAE, 70 percent of whom were Pakistani. Others are from Sudan, Bangladesh, Mauritius and India, she said.

Officials said another 270 children were in camps set up by the UAE government and will be repatriated once their travel documents are ready.

Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said the government would seek to track down their families.

"We will also provide them with free education if their parents are unable to do so," he added.

Again, this is a great tragedy, and my humor is my private protest towards the cultural relativists who tends to maximize Western flaws and minimize Middle Eastern ones.
Your 'humor' is so subtle, I was left wondering for some moments what you're trying to say. :p

I prefer my news straight, and right to the core, thanks; without modding. :p
 
This is off topic, anything should go. I have seen so much weird stuff here, so I got to stick to the industrial standard besides what is considered kosher political correctness and "factual" presentation. Bias is a human right.
 
This is horrible. Those poor, poor camels.
