Well I've never to my knowledge met an Assyrian in my life, so I got no opinion on that one. Maybe you're confusing Assyrians with camel jockeys? UAE fund to compensate camel jockeys Staff Report Published: July 04, 2007, 23:03 gulfnews.com Abu Dhabi: A fund will be set up to compensate under-age camel jockeys from Bangladesh, Mauritania, Pakistan and Sudan, a senior official said yesterday. "An Independent Claims Facility will be established to pay compensation to children ... who were formerly involved in camel racing in the UAE," said Colonel Nasser Al Awadi Al Menhali, director of the Abu Dhabi Naturalisation and Residency Department. The UAE in 2005 banned child labour in the camel racing business and signed an agreement with the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) to repatriate hundreds of children and compensate their parents. Unicef has put the UAE cost of the repatriation scheme at $9 million (about Dh33 million) and said around 1,100 under-age camel jockeys so far have been returned to their homes.
