So do you have any evidence those people sold themselves into servitude? You know, the usual way of doing this is you are captured and forced to be a slave under threat of serious punishment or death. Quite different.

And saying that outside nations have no right to intervene in THAT situation is mind-boggling. You know, the British in the early 19th (and I believe late 18th) century took it UPON THEMSELVES to attempt to suppress the slave trade on the high seas. Was this wrong?
