  1. Love your content Johnny.. I am from Kenya and I see how thousands of young women travel to the gulf countries for employment and rely pity them ..could you please do a video on why African as a continent is still poor even after indipendence.

  2. It is total slavery. I know that people who came to Doha might not live better than they did in Qatar. But when you hire people to do work for you, you have to treat them well. that's your duty, it is not optional.

  3. But you complainers are happy to live in gulf countries and enjoy lifestyle and tax free incomes. If you feel so strongly why dont you protest to your government. Is it because they make huge money from selling to these countries? Once you get your money and no longer need them suddenly your consciousness wakes up and you realise all about rights.

  4. I lived in Qatar in the late 80s and 90s. It’s full of very discriminatory practices based on race and economic background. There were multiple times poor people of my own race would approach my family for help to escape their plight because we were well off and lived in one of the best neighborhoods that housed white collar workers that worked for the royal family. We lived like we live in America, but the minute we left the special compound that was zoned for us, the quality of life dropped steeply. The most shocking among the rescue requests my family carefully handled was a woman whose passport was taken from her as as part of her “employment” as a maid. Clearly she had been abused because her skin had welts and burn marks from cigarettes. It wasn’t just Qatar. The whole Middle East with their oil money are quite horrible unless you’re rich. I don’t know why the rest of world continues to reward these people when they treat others so badly. Ive only even driven EVs every since they were an option. I feel awful that our government even allows investment from these people in American businesses when they have such horrible moral values of their own with no intentions of changing anything.

  5. simply put Qatar is effed up. So is Saudi and all those little countries. Don't tell me to respect their way of life when it's antiquated and slavery is legal. As an American men and women are equal We both may not necessarily like itBut it is what it is and it's better.

  6. Why didn't you connect with Indians in Kerala who returned back? Also why are you categorically excluding India as a source of labour. It is what it is. Journalism should seek the truth, not be diplomatic

  7. The world also know what is happening in the Europe and america & their hypocrisy. They are jealous because Qatar is a Muslim Country and they are arranging FiFA world cup. That's why this type of propaganda is spreading

  8. Until every western country returns what it stole from the countries they colonized you have no right to lecture us because even you personally have benefited from what your country took from us. Any resources stolen from us that ended up benefiting your economy, education or healthcare benefits you. Until you return that and apologize, then save your lecturing to yourself and to your broken society. We're not interested. (Of course we can't forget the slave labor you kidnapped and shipped around the world)

  9. Don't watch the world cup, Boycott it, Otherwise nothing will ever change. I'm guessing most people will act all shocked and horrified but will hypocritically continue to sit and watch the football in stadiums literally created by slaves.
