One woman's true account of modern slavery
AvZana Muhsen,Andrew Crofts
Häftad, Engelska, 2010
154 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Zana Muhsen, born and bred in Birmingham, is of Yemeni origin. When her father told her she was to spend a holiday with relatives in North Yemen, she jumped at the chance. Aged 15 and 13 respectively, Zana and her sister discovered that they had been literally sold into marriage, and that on their arrival they were virtually prisoners. They had to adapt to a completely alien way of life, with no running water, dung-plastered walls, frequent beatings, and the ordeal of childbirth on bare floors with only old women in attendance. After eight years of misery and humiliation Zana succeeded in escaping, but her sister is still there, and it seems likely that she will now never leave the country where she has spent more than half her life. This is an updated edition of Zana's account of her experiences.

Ten years previously Zana Muhsen escaped from the life of slavery in the Yemen into which her father had sold her as a child bride, leaving behind her baby son, her sister Nadia, and Nadia's two small children. As she described so powerfully in her internationally bestselling book SOLD, Zana made a solemn vow to Nadia that she would do everything she possibly could to obtain their freedom as well.A PROMISE TO NADIA tells the extraordinary story of those ten years; of the family's lone campaign against the Yemeni authorities; of the refusal of their own government in London to help; and of the despair that forced them into a desperate deal with an unofficial military-style organisation specialising in the recovery of abducted children.

In 1994, 16-year-old Emmanuel Taban walked out of war-torn Sudan with nothing and nowhere to go after he had been tortured at the hands of government forces, who falsely accused him of spying for the rebels. When he finally managed to escape, he literally took a wrong turn and, instead of being reunited with his family, ended up in neighbouring Eritrea as a refugee. Over the months that followed, young Emmanuel went on a harrowing journey, often spending weeks on the streets and facing many dangers. Relying on the generosity of strangers, he made the long journey south to South Africa, via Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, travelling mostly by bus and on foot. When he reached Johannesburg, 18 months after fleeing Sudan, he was determined to resume his education. He managed to complete his schooling with the help of Catholic missionaries and entered medical school, qualifying as a doctor, and eventually specialising in pulmonology. By refusing to give up, Emmanuel has risen above extreme poverty, racism and xenophobia to become a South African legend. In this updated edition, he shares some of his experiences at the frontline treating severely ill COVID-19 patients, as well as his thoughts around Ivermectin and vaccines against the virus.

Zana Muhsen berättar om sitt gripande livsöde i boken från 1992. 26 000 kr var den summa som Zanas och Nadias pappa fick när han sålde sina döttrar till goda vänners söner i en bergsby i Jemen. Intet ont anande hade de två engelska tonårsflickorna kommit till faderns hemland för att tillbringa ett härligt sommarlov. Så är de plötsligt bortgifta med två främmande män. För Zana och Nadia var det som att förflyttas till medeltiden, till slavarbete och kvinnlig underkastelse. Som fångar i hemmet bevakades deras minsta steg. De utsattes för våldtäkt och misshandel, och födde sina barn under ytterst primitiva förhållanden. I åratal var de ensamma och utlämnade, men till slut lyckades deras mor spåra dem. Zana, den äldsta, fick äntligen utresetillstånd mot att hon lämnade sin son hos dess far i Jemen. Här berättar hon själv den sanna historien om en åtta år lång mardröm. Och kvar i bergsbyn finns fortfarande hennes syster Nadia med sina tre barn.

Zana Muhsens uppföljare till boken "Såld", från 2000. För tio år sedan flydde Zana Muhsen från Jemen. Där hade hon och hennes syster Nadia levt som slavar ända sedan de av fadern sålts som barnbrudar till två jemenitiska män. För att komma därifrån blev hon tvingad att lämna sin lille son, lillasystern Nadia och hennes barn. I boken "Såld" berättade hon den skrämmande historien om livet i Jemen. Själv slapp hon undan, men Nadia blev kvar i bergsbyn. Innan de skildes åt lovade Zana att inte unna sig någon ro förrän systern och barnen vunnit sin frihet. Omvärldens stöd gjorde henne övertygad om att regeringarna i Jemen och Storbritannien skulle släppa dem, men hon tog fel! Många människor tog kontakt med Zana, de flesta för att uttrycka sitt stöd. Men andra lovade att hämta tillbaka Nadia och barnen till hemlandet och tog bra betalt för svikna förhoppningar. Ändå vägrar Zana ge upp. Här berättar hon om den fortsatta kampen för att hålla löftet till Nadia.
