Dr Abdulbari Bener and colleagues of the University of Qatar found 40% of the injuries the looked at were severe enough to require hospitalisation, with an average hospital stay of six days. Most were injuries to the arms, legs and head and were caused by falls. The most severe occurred when the camel fell down on top of the thrown rider. Many of the injured boys had been trafficked from poor countries to serve as camel jockeys - 91% from Sudan.








Few in Pakistan will disagree with Sarim Burney's assessment of the number of Pakistani children currently working as camel jockeys in the Gulf. Mr Burney has been Pakistan's premier anti-slavery campaigner for more than 18 years. ... The issue first came to light in Pakistan in the early 1990s. Intense media interest forced many of the Gulf kingdoms to ban the use of children under 15 for camel racing. "The move failed miserably because child traffickers simply got fake passports which stated a four-year-old's age as 16," says Mr Burney. Besides, many of the sheikhs had direct access to the areas from where these children were recruited.

يا غيرة الورد ..
جرحها الكلام ..
حبيبة الورد ..
عاتبها الظلام ..
مرت بليلة برد .. وكانت دفا
عطر ودفا.. وليه الملام
يامجرحة صدر الظلام..
بالخد .. وبنور الجبين
ليلة تمرين ..
