Human trafficking is a serious problem in Sudan, a country located in northeastern Africa. It is defined as the trade of human beings for the purpose of forced labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of exploitation. It is a violation of human rights and a crime that affects millions of people worldwide, including in Sudan.
According to the United States Department of State's 2020 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, Sudan is a source, transit, and destination country for human trafficking. It is a source country for men, women, and children who are subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking within the country and abroad. Sudanese women and children are also trafficked to other countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, where they are forced into domestic servitude, agricultural labor, and other forms of forced labor.
In Sudan, human trafficking often occurs within the context of armed conflict, as traffickers take advantage of the chaos and insecurity to exploit vulnerable populations. Women and children are particularly at risk of being trafficked for sexual exploitation and forced labor in the country. According to the TIP Report, children in Sudan are subjected to forced labor in agriculture, domestic work, and artisanal gold mining. They are also at risk of being recruited and used as child soldiers by armed groups.
The Sudanese government has made some efforts to combat human trafficking, but more needs to be done. In 2020, the government passed a new anti-trafficking law, which criminalizes all forms of trafficking and provides for the protection of victims. However, the government's efforts to investigate and prosecute trafficking cases have been limited, and there have been reports of government officials being involved in or facilitating trafficking.
The lack of reliable data on human trafficking in Sudan makes it difficult to accurately assess the scale of the problem. However, it is clear that human trafficking is a serious issue in the country and that more needs to be done to combat it. This includes increased efforts by the government to investigate and prosecute traffickers, as well as increased support for victims of trafficking. It is also important for the international community to support Sudan in its efforts to combat human trafficking and to provide assistance to victims.
Shakespeare's Comedy The Merchant of Venice
Branbantio, furious and beaten, shunned his daughter. However, there is so much to like about this version of 'The Merchant of Venice'. And I have no idea what's wrong with Jessica at the end. Well, my conscience, hanging about the neck of my heart, says very wisely to me, My honest friend Launcelot, being an honest mans sonor rather an honest womans son, for indeed my father did something smack, something grow to. Instead we got a most cultured Shylock not someone you'd otherwise might think of selling from a pushcart on the Lower East Side. Pocket sarcastically tells the truth and Lorenzo decides to kill pocket for hearing his plan.
The Merchant of Venice: Character List
And the Duke who is Benjamin Wittrow has a novel interpretation. With a great Shylock, and Olivier is a decidedly great Shylock, one is forced to see the real pain and injustice which drives him to his destructive acts - and forgo at least a little of the fun Shakespeare's audience expected in the bear bating-like joys of seeing the "monster" vanquished. It is tempting to play the sneering villain as overtly lusting for Antonio's blood, but Olivier avoids the trap, only letting flashes of the underlying malevolence peek through in unguarded moments but they are there, as they must, be for an audience to accept the inevitable fall. Budge not, says my conscience. What should I say to you? I believe it could only have been created by someone who was intimately and personally aware of the problems it addresses. If I serve not him, I will run as far as God has any ground.
In act 2, scene 2 of The Merchant of Venice, who is Launcelot Gobbo? What inner struggle is going on in his conscience? What does his struggle show...
Jessica then finds out the real truth from shylock and is enraged with Pocket, but deep inside she cares little for it. Overall, very well done version to be seen for Olivier. LAUNCELOT Turn up on your right hand at the next turning, but, at the next turning of all, on your left; marry, at the very next turning, turn of no hand, but turn down indirectly to the Jew's house. Brabantio tells him that Pocket's beloved Cordelia did not die of fever but from poison, by his doing. While leaving Jessica after having given up his job under Shylock, he becomes quite sentimental, and his eyes fill with tears. Let's go talk to him, father, for if I serve the Jew any longer, I'll be a Jew myself. He goes on the stage where the doge is and tells them that Othello is still alive and waiting on Pockets mark to destroy Venice due to Othello's betrayal and not having justice.
