Mauritania was the last country in the world to officially abolish slavery. That happened in 1981. Law allowing slaveholders to be prosecuted was passed in 2007. Under international pressure.
We can all take a wild guess as to whether slavery still exists in Mauritania or not.
A short documentary on the matter, posted on Cyberpunk Dingo's channel. About 26min.
