This is terrible news! According to reports from a magazine, gay and bisexual men from Kenyatta University are being sold as sex slaves in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
According to the magazine, many victims have been fooled into the trap by false promises of high-paying jobs, sadly not a difficult task for the traffickers given Kenya’s soaring unemployment rate.There have reports for years, but this is new info that could be helpful in cracking this case.
Cracking down on the practice is made more difficult given the destination countries such as Qatar, which reportedly remains on the U.S. Department of State watch lists for showing no progress in identifying victims of trafficking, lack appropriate legislation. In addition, homosexuality is illegal in both the Arab states as well as Kenya, so many victims feel they are unable to report such cases of abuse to police officials.
A gay man familiar with the LGBT community in the United Arab Emirates who identified himself only as Mark tells Bikyamasr.com that the report is "not surprising." He went on to note: “We have seen a lot of the elite and super wealthy want to be gay, but that would go against their traditions, so instead they often marry and then hire or do this kind of thing, to have their real desires met. It is a problem of society not opening up to the gay lifestyle and forcing it to the background."

This has been going on since the beginning of time. Arab men have a thing for black boys.
