Auto-generated summary

On September 18, 2024, the Committee Health & Human Relations at a Chicago City Council Meeting passed a resolution addressing African enslavement in Arab states by terrorist groups. Citing the Global Slavery Index and research by Tolulope Akande-Sadipe of the Nigerian House of Representatives, the resolution reveals thousands enslaved in Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Nigeria, Sudan, and South Sudan, and highlights terror-inspired massacres in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The UN's inaction is condemned.
