Rape, Brutal Murder and Religious Persecution: The Harrowing Story of Kenyans Enslaved In the Middle East

Although slavery is now illegal in all countries, it is still going on especially in the Middle East. I’m sure that you have all watched clips of house helps sent to work in households in the Middle East being beaten for sport, some getting stabbed and others getting badly scalded.

But according to new information that I have received, the situation could be much dire than the clips that make their way back to the country.

A girl by the name Lillian (name changed to protect her identity) has come back for holidays form Lebanon. Yes, she is among the lucky few house helps who get to go on holidays as their employers have been exposed to other cultures and are more tolerant of other human beings who are different from them in terms of religion.
But Lillian is among the lucky few. She tells me that her counterparts are not so lucky, Kenyans are really suffering in the Middle East; they are subjected to rape, religious persecution and murder.

Lillian says that before she jetted off to Lebanon, there was a house where they were held with other house helps. And the stories she was told her made her to want to board the first plane back home.

She met a lady in the toilet who confessed to her that she had been brutally raped about ten times by her employer. Saying that she was just waiting for death because soon she would be following in the footsteps of some of her fellow house helps who were killed some for just being Christians. While telling her this story, the young lady was crying and saying that she was waiting for death since there was no hope. She would soon follow in the footsteps of her comrades who had been brutally murdered and their bodies secretly disposed off in the dead of the night.

Once the helps were killed, the masters store their dead bodies in a refrigerator and got rid of them one by one. And that is why you hear that some Kenyans’ went to the Middle East to work and were never heard of again, chances are that most of them are dead. Their documents destroyed.
If you go looking for your relative or someone that you sent to the Middle East just to find out how they are doing, you will be told that they have gone to look for employment elsewhere. You are told “I released her, she was employed elsewhere but and I don’t know which place she went specifically.”If you hear someone has gotten another employment they are dead. For those who survive rape and death they are forced to convert from Christianity to Islam.

Lillian says in conclusion that “I really hope that the government will take the slavery in the Middle East issue seriously, Kenyans there are really suffering and I hope that  the government to come and rescue them and warn others not to travel for work there.”
