Lebanon: Unsubtle Intra-Arab Discrimination…..
“Anger towards Lebanon is brewing in Sudan and in Sudanese online forums. According to reports in the Arab media, a fundraising party held by Sudanese immigrants and asylum seekers in Beirut in aid of a child with cancer, was raided by Lebanese security apparently on the hunt for illegal residents. Eyewitnesses report that although most of those attending produced valid residency cards, this did not spare them from being handcuffed, beaten and racially abused. According to Sudanese and Lebanese newspaper reports (in Arabic), the detainees were referred to as animals who "learned how to wear nice clothes" and "black pieces of coal", and lined up flat on their bellies…..”
They get the same treatment as the Asian and African housemaids and laborers. Most Lebanese, like some other Middle East countries, look down on other of their fellow third-world workers, and respect, nay nearly, worship the Europeans, ANY Europeans.
