January sale in Bergen

Av Mohamed Tahir Osman, Youth Delegate from Sudan

(27.01.2009) On the 17 of January it was time for the well known January sale. Red Cross Youth in Bergen was all set to sell out a couple of Sudanese slaves.

17. January was a historical day. In the center of Bergen city, volunteers spread awareness about the slavery of the century, and gave people information about human trafficking.


A lot of people was shocked when they saw an auction that was selling people in the city center of Bergen, as a girl shouted loudly “come on, see what we have here, he is a strong slave from Sudan, he can be used for farming, building, and he can carry loads up to 80 Kg, come and see”.


“Sold for 1000 kroner,” she said; after competition on prices between volunteers down there trying to attract people to the auction. Then other slaves offered for sell.

The secretary general of the Norwegian Red Cross - Ole Jørgen Krohn-Nydal, passed by the stand, and stopped there to greet the volunteers. Actually, it was a nice incident that made the volunteers very happy and proud that the secretary general attended a part in their activity down there.
