Honorable Mayor Aitken and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
We have heard that as a local city council, you have been deba?ng about an interna?onal resolu?on regarding the Gazan
war.
It is worrisome when a city council well suited for city leadership is pushed by cons?tuents to delve into interna?onal
affairs without proper training and informa?on.
Moreover, the resolu?on you are currently considering is flawed in both fact and intent, which you have become aware
of through the thousands of comments you have received.
We do not think city councils should be addressing interna?onal issues. However, if you insist on doing this, we ask you
to instead adopt a resolu?on based on indisputable fact and evidence such as the resolu?on below. It tells the truth
about the horrors of Jihadi terrorism on the African people. This type of terrorism has also been inflicted against Israelis
since Israel’s incep?on and most horrifically on October 7th. If you insist on being outspoken about an interna?onal
story, this is the story that must be told.
Please read below.
Thank you,
Resolu?on for Ending Jihad Murder and Slavery in Africa
WHEREAS, all human life is precious, and all people worldwide are worthy of safety, dignity, and freedom, the ongoing
enslavement of Africans by Muslim jihadists is a viola?on of interna?onal humanitarian law; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim recognizes that black Africans have been enslaved and murdered by jihadists for 14
centuries; the fact that this crime against humanity s?ll exists in this century illustrates the hypocrisy of the U.N. and
Western na?ons; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim recognizes that the Arab slave trade exported around 25 million slaves from both coasts
of Africa between the seventh and nineteenth centuries;
1
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim recognizes that slavery directed against black Africans is an abomina?on that s?ll exists
today across northern Africa and the Middle East that can no longer be tolerated; and
WHEREAS, according to the Global Slavery Index, 84,000 Africans are held as slaves in Algeria, 47,000 in Libya, and
149,000 in Mauritania; and, according to Chris?an Solidarity Interna?onal, perhaps 35,000 Africans remain enslaved in
Sudan nearly two decades a?er the end of a self-declared jihad which caused the south to secede and cons?tute itself,
since 2011, as the world’s newest na?on – South Sudan; and
WHEREAS, Arab mili?as equipped and legi?mized by the government of Arab Sudan con?nue to terrorize un-Arabized
black Muslims in western Sudan, par?cularly the Darfur province, massacring the men, carrying off the women as cha?el
slaves, and rese?ling Arab Muslim nomads on their ethnically cleansed ancestral lands, as they have done intermi?ently
since 1995; and
WHEREAS, according to research in 2020 by the office of Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, member of the Nigerian House of
Representa?ves for Oyo State and Chair of the House Commi?ee on Diaspora Affairs, perhaps 80,000 women from
Nigeria alone have been trafficked as sex slaves across Lebanon, Mali, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates;
and
WHEREAS, the Islamic terrorist organiza?on Boko Haram along with Fulani Muslim death squads in northern Nigeria have
murdered more than 50,000 Chris?ans since 2009 and have enslaved perhaps 4,000 Chris?an children and teenagers,
par?cularly young girls, for the purpose of sexual bondage; and
WHEREAS, due to the difficulty in obtaining accurate, in-depth informa?on, as well as the mainstream media and human
rights groups’ typical disinterest in these atroci?es, it is highly likely that much of the jihad massacres and slave-taking
exists in other regions beset by jihadists across North Africa;
BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Anaheim stands in solidarity with the vic?ms of jihad slavery and slaughter including the
people of South Sudan, Darfur and Nigeria who have endured murder, oppression and enslavement by jihadists.
BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Anaheim stands in humanitarian solidarity with all people enslaved and demands their
immediate libera?on by all means possible.
