this is why children should not be left in the hands of any religious institution we have seen it time and time again, regardless if Catholic /Christian/Islamic. All these institutions are run by monsters in God's name ...
As well as non-religious institute things has happened to kids when someone is weak and vulnerable there will be someone to take advantage of them, sad but true
@Afro Sammy I don't follow the church to comment fully but definitely catholicism comes from pure evil ... but at the same time how can you preach a innocent child inherits sins and will go to hell unless baptised 😂😂😂 haha
I see people want to pass judgment and escape that blames lies on them as well whatever religion or non-religion you want to claim because in this we are all human and most of us don't follow our books or use moral compass like we should. People are trying to pretend that they are so perfect and that there is no blood or dirt on their hands, please stop with that bs.
I was beaten mercilessly too by my Arabic teachers and my father encouraged it. There was a beating everywhere growing up in Ghana. In school from Mondays to Fridays, in Arabic school on weekends, and in the hands of my own parents after school. I have scars on my legs from beating. IT NEEDS TO STOP

Wahhab also rejected the veneration of Muslim saints and prayers at their shrines, a practice that had become widespread by the eighteenth century. Wahhab pointed to hadiths in which Muhammad himself condemned this practice, calling it shirk, the combination of idolatry and polytheism that is the worst sin of all in Islam: associating partners with Allah in worship. The Wahhabis were often just as brutal as the Islamic State is today.

I am a Somali American, to see the pain and suffering these children are going through - is heartbreaking 💔. My siblings and I used to go to one these (camps) I refuse to call it a respectable place. Our father found out (through us) we were getting whippings. Once he heard of it, he took us there straight away and said to them “if you ever touch my children I will kill with my bare hand”. Thankfully we never went back. I don’t have a good enough relationship with him now, and he’s back in Africa but watching this I thank him deeply. May these children live a happy, normal life.
You're somali American. That's your argument finished. You're no more than fallen xalimos advocating for the fake pains of others clearly when you have no connection of life. Keep preaching huuno.
these parents are complicit. they knew the dangers of these places, yet still sent their children there. a parent's first and foremost goal should be to protect their child.
I disagree. If a child is hurt by a priest at school it is not the parents fault for sending them to Catholic school. The parent was doing what they thought was best for the child's education.
@SOCIAL 215 I saw another video similar to this. It said clearly that the parents didn't give consent for there children to be beaten. Explain that please.

My son was bruised by his music teacher. I was 8 months pregnant. She said she didnt do it. I told her if she touched him again she would regret it cause l would beat the crap out of her and file charges. We could share a cell. Lol. Amazingly the bruising did not happen again. He was about 8 years old. It really affected him.

I love the way the journalist asked his questions. This is really saddening. How can you treat a fellow human being so badly all in the name of religion? 😔😔😔 Love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Where is that? I will be happy to go there. I live in America and justice for blacks are not so good there either. Where the evil rule there is no justice for all.
I really respect the way the investigator uncovered all the corruption taking place. Also, the religious/ Sheikh/ religious men that have wronged any of these children, I pray they meet death with a bang just as the High Sheiks if they are guilty of mistreatment of any child or man unable to do for themselves. And yes I also hold parents accountable too but more so the government for continuing to turn blind eyes.
I'm extremely disgusted as a Sudanese, this must never happen to our boys regardless of what religion, children must be protected by all cost this is permanent trauma to these kids, these wicked men must be given maximum punishment with a quick court process.
I left Islam because of these kind of treatment. NEVER EVER AGAIN I was beaten when I was in madrassa learning the Quran and yet they say Allah is ''merciful''.
@@jamilaelema9647 Read the Quran and translate the exact meaning word by word and you will find out that "Allah" is NOT merciful. Everything Quran if you don't follow "HIM" he will strike you. I'm FREE NOW from lies. Religions is supposed to be peaceful, kindness, loving everyone Jewish, Christian, Hindu, no matter their sexuality. The Quran teachs to hate others who are not Muslims. I know I have been there.
@@jamilaelema9647 your entire comment is misdirected. Your concern should be about your religion that has these little boys in school getting beaten and raped. Here you are talking about who is merciful and who is not.
Do you think every Muslim is a good person how stupid do you have to be. Iblis was also Muslim who serve Allah and then he became the worse creature of Allah. Every religion have evil people but don’t hate on the religion.
This is quite disheartening as these are young boys who have been letdown by their society. We need to ask ourselves what kind of men are we raising up. Men who are broken will only raise broken families and less than ideal societies. I hope things will change in the Sudan for the sake of their future.
Imagine telling young children to be perfect or else they’ll be tortured. What exactly is the damn point of these “schools”? What are the kids supposed to get out if it once they graduate?
The worst thing it’s that this kids probably will do the same to other cos they don’t get psichology treatment after this.. they have to follow they well being after this cos it will affect telnet mental health once they grow up for sure
Unfortunately, I married one of these men. He is broken, so broken. His spirit was so bright, but he is traumatized and can't deal with his pain. These schools should not exist.
This reminds me one one night when I was fleeing from my Arabic teacher who pursuid me with a wipe into the dark night. He chased me for about half a kilometer. I've left this cult
Dc Outasite Oh wow. I’m sorry and I hope you have found some peace. Are you currently residing in D.C. by any chance? I lived there for about 5 years myself.
Bruh Im somalia as well but Alhamdulliah i had home dhuksi so my parents knew whats going on and my father did not allow any beating so i was never beaten
It is called dhaqan ceelis in Somali my two older brothers are a victim of it. I was so near to be sent away there to,this shit happens in the capital in Somali. It is fucked up
I have to commend this fine journalist for being so brave in confronting the sheikhs and trying his best to get the authorities to take action. The most disappointing thing is the almost fingers-in-the-ear attitude of the authorities who have the power to shut these places down. They weren't at all interested in his evidence.
Wishful thinking. He had a car accident - not the invisible hand of god swooping down to punish him . Why would god sit back and allow countless children to suffer ? To continue suffering in chains of all he had to do was swoop down and stop the torturers? After you pray ? Please get up and take action !
It’s truly breaking my heart, after watching this video! It is very sad and terrifying to see these children, going through so much painful experience. They don’t deserve to be treated like that, may God give them comfort and protection. My heart is very aching for all of them poor little baby! Good job for this amazing journalist and BBC news who investigate these abuses case in Sudan and present it well to the world to see what’s really happen out there!

This happened to me when I was little. It is very sad because we were thought Is normal and going against the teacher is a sin. It’s nothing but child abuse. I really feel bad and pray for those kids🙏
No wonder kids grow up to be so inhumane we start wondering what happened to them for them to turn out to be horrifying beings..it goes down to this...the torture they went through as kids made them become worse than their actuall monsters..
Parents parents parents we are so fortunate to have reporters to give us in fomation about wicked people be careful who you put in charge of your children you may live to regret it

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOVERNMENT CLOSE THIS PLACE DOWN NOW! I'M IN TEARS WATCHING THIS OH MY GOODNESS I DON'T THINK I CAN WATCH UNTIL THE END THIS IS HOW MUCH THIS HAS AFFECTED ME😢😢😢😢
How as a parent do you get brain washed by anyone regardless of whatever conviction to let such atrocities happen to your child. Parents are the first line of defence and protection for children BEFORE ANY RELIGION or STATE.
I'm crying like a baby for those children right now. Thank BBC and you the Investigative Journalist for the coverage. These Malams/teachers are criminals, heartless, and soulless that do not care about children, and they are children and People's abusers.
The parents are to blame! How do you just leave your young child for months without checking in? If your child says he is been abused, check for signs! Scars don’t magically show up on a child’s body! I feel so sorry for the boys! The judge should have passed a guilty verdict after 3 no shows! The whole system is corrupt and all the “officials” are useless.
The parents were raised the same way, attended these same boarding schools, and probably faced more brutal punishments- without any outlet to complain or even allowed to have an opinion on the actions of adults. Don't be so quick to judge.
These “schools” are in Senegal too but I have never seen or heard of abuse to this extent. When I asked a family member of mine “Why is it that the government cannot enforce a ban against these “schools” or introduce some kind of surveillance/laws that will regulate how things are done?” The response was simply that this is so deeply rooted in our culture/society, whomever was to try to speak against these religious leaders will suffer severe consequences.
@@mscris503 No way would this happen in western countries. If the cops or child services saw kids being chained up and scars all over the body, they would be shut down immediately and the teachers would be charged with crimes. Thats the difference between the west and Islamic countries. Authorities will act in western countries., in Islamic countries authorities will not act because they are part of the same religious system, and there is a lot of fear, threats and intimidation in Islam.
Your right, I've never heard of these schools in better developed countries, but it's not to say that the abuse is everywhere, just not to that extent, but we deal with more of the parents who do the most harm to their own children.
He was aware it happens but didn't think it was that close to home. Majority of these people are poor and it's the only chance to give their kids an education.
Knowing such things are happening to innocent children hurts my heart. Imagine being so isolated that you no longer remember how to talk!. These are sadists using religion as a shield to justify their actions.
Omg, my heart 💔 I just want to give these innocent children a hug & tell them everything will be okay. Is there any way we can help them? i.e send them money or clothes?! 😓😢
www.answering-islam.org/Authors/Arlandson/torture.htm "The executioner appointed by Zayd "tied each of her legs with a rope and tied the ropes to camels, and they split her in two." (Tabari)"
I really hope these boys get psychological help. I can imagine some of them really resenting their parents as well. I'm also wondering when the parents send them, do they not ask around or go to the place. It's a month's plus program.
I'd like to go chill on the "south side" 🇸🇩 Sudan. I have a very nice friend from Sudan. Much love to to you all. This however, is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING what they are doing to these poor little children😭 The parents need to be jailed as well.

I love the way the journalist asked his questions. This is really saddening. How can you treat a fellow human being so badly all in the name of religion? 😔😔😔

Ikr, I hate it when westerners complain about their institutions and government. I mean like bro, come on.
@@Tech_Gamers yep.
Where is that? I will be happy to go there. I live in America and justice for blacks are not so good there either. Where the evil rule there is no justice for all.
For sure south africa 🇿🇦 grateful 🙏
OMG!!! I want to stop watching, but I can't, because I hope there's justice at the end!!!
I really respect the way the investigator uncovered all the corruption taking place. Also, the religious/ Sheikh/ religious men that have wronged any of these children, I pray they meet death with a bang just as the High Sheiks if they are guilty of mistreatment of any child or man unable to do for themselves. And yes I also hold parents accountable too but more so the government for continuing to turn blind eyes.
Places like this, should be closed down, they will never stop or change, 😠😠
I'm extremely disgusted as a Sudanese, this must never happen to our boys regardless of what religion, children must be protected by all cost this is permanent trauma to these kids, these wicked men must be given maximum punishment with a quick court process.
Hands down for the professional journalist that guy is mature interview composed
He has mad skills. Need to see more of him
He kept so cool I would have laid hands on somebody fr
You should of have got one on these sheikh and treat them how they treated the kids and see if they like it
I left Islam because of these kind of treatment. NEVER EVER AGAIN
I was beaten when I was in madrassa learning the Quran and yet they say Allah is ''merciful''.
Allah is merciful don't compare Allah to human beings and those who oppress will be answerable to Allah subhana wataalah
@@jamilaelema9647 Read the Quran and translate the exact meaning word by word and you will find out that "Allah" is NOT merciful. Everything Quran if you don't follow "HIM" he will strike you. I'm FREE NOW from lies. Religions is supposed to be peaceful, kindness, loving everyone Jewish, Christian, Hindu, no matter their sexuality. The Quran teachs to hate others who are not Muslims. I know I have been there.
@@jamilaelema9647 your entire comment is misdirected. Your concern should be about your religion that has these little boys in school getting beaten and raped. Here you are talking about who is merciful and who is not.
Do you think every Muslim is a good person how stupid do you have to be. Iblis was also Muslim who serve Allah and then he became the worse creature of Allah. Every religion have evil people but don’t hate on the religion.
There is a difference between the Quran and culture/tradition, name me one ayat of the Quran where it says to beat children.
Yo BBC News Africa is always coming with the good documentaries. Good work. This is what the world needs to see!
This is quite disheartening as these are young boys who have been letdown by their society. We need to ask ourselves what kind of men are we raising up. Men who are broken will only raise broken families and less than ideal societies. I hope things will change in the Sudan for the sake of their future.
Yes, its easy to see how angry religious radicals and terrorists are produced
Well all the Muslim women are oppressed and beaten everyday so what did you expect? The women who create life are treated like animals , cattle.
Imagine telling young children to be perfect or else they’ll be tortured.
What exactly is the damn point of these “schools”? What are the kids supposed to get out if it once they graduate?
The mother said she sent her son so he could become a Sheikh. And they said early on in the video that Sheikhs are really respected where they live.
The worst thing it’s that this kids probably will do the same to other cos they don’t get psichology treatment after this.. they have to follow they well being after this cos it will affect telnet mental health once they grow up for sure
Unfortunately, I married one of these men. He is broken, so broken. His spirit was so bright, but he is traumatized and can't deal with his pain. These schools should not exist.
This is the most evil thing I’ve ever seen in my life. They need our help...
This reminds me one one night when I was fleeing from my Arabic teacher who pursuid me with a wipe into the dark night. He chased me for about half a kilometer. I've left this cult
As BBC Africa says, “nothing stays hidden forever”
So so so sad for children.... Great work by bbc team bring such stories to light
I'm a victim of this...this is also known in somalia..mogadishu...n I'm a grown ass man
Really sad 😥
Dc Outasite Oh wow. I’m sorry and I hope you have found some peace. Are you currently residing in D.C. by any chance? I lived there for about 5 years myself.
Bruh Im somalia as well but Alhamdulliah i had home dhuksi so my parents knew whats going on and my father did not allow any beating so i was never beaten
It is called dhaqan ceelis in Somali my two older brothers are a victim of it. I was so near to be sent away there to,this shit happens in the capital in Somali. It is fucked up
Sorry for what you went through....hugs ❤️
Thank you for making all of us aware of what is going on, it's so very sad.
This killed my heart! I wish I could rescue them all and give them better lives .
I have to commend this fine journalist for being so brave in confronting the sheikhs and trying his best to get the authorities to take action. The most disappointing thing is the almost fingers-in-the-ear attitude of the authorities who have the power to shut these places down. They weren't at all interested in his evidence.
God intervened, he was tried, found guilty and his judgement was death, may all involved in this wickedness suffer the same fate.
🙏🙏
Thanks for the feedback
They are gay men.....in hiding pretending to help poor children/boys are their speciality.... God help us all😏
Wishful thinking. He had a car accident - not the invisible hand of god swooping down to punish him . Why would god sit back and allow countless children to suffer ? To continue suffering in chains of all he had to do was swoop down and stop the torturers? After you pray ? Please get up and take action !
Talk of Al shaabab,Boko Haram,then this Khalwas...what's wrong wth Islam?
This is inhumanity and torture which should not tolerated in anyway💪💪 watching from Kenya🇰🇪
i heard the same thing happens in the somalian towns in kenya. there was even another bbc video about it.
The government of Kenya closed the down 👏🏾 they had registered the school as a drug rehab center
@@NyakwarOdenyo thank goodness

Excellent reporting. So painful, however, to watch this.
It’s truly breaking my heart, after watching this video! It is very sad and terrifying to see these children, going through so much painful experience. They don’t deserve to be treated like that, may God give them comfort and protection. My heart is very aching for all of them poor little baby! Good job for this amazing journalist and BBC news who investigate these abuses case in Sudan and present it well to the world to see what’s really happen out there!
Thanks for exposing the schools,my qstn is,Do you show your documentary in the villages to show them what happens to their children?
I'm sure they know just from word of mouth.
Painful to watch,these poor children deserve nothing but love.. so sad to see what goes on in this world
I can't watch the whole video, I'm sick to my stomach 😭😭 How can this be happening to children all in the name of Religion? It's disgusting, mean and attempted murder... as soon as they go to jail they are bailed wtffffff...this hurt me so much , I got no more words..but God will be the judge of the wicked smh
This is and has been the history of all major religions. Christianity is no better.
@@geoffreybrewster I understood that every parent wanted a better future for their children but as a parent reading about atrocities that take place in these facilities and still send children there is beyond careless.. I blame some of these parents ..prayers for these kids smh
@@Aviation476 I blame the parents too. Why still send your kids? I believe they are paid off. Some dont even go back for their sons and daughters. sick
@@geoffreybrewster but in christianity no one forces you to cram the bible😑..let children be children.....even in budhissm or hindusim ..no one forces thr child to cram everything in their heads
it's been happening in all religious places since the dawn of religion. churches/ masjids, they are all the same . people say fear shaytarn yet only "GODS" People behaving like this, right across all races and religions it's the same story's
This happened to me when I was little. It is very sad because we were thought Is normal and going against the teacher is a sin. It’s nothing but child abuse. I really feel bad and pray for those kids🙏
This is Soo bad 😩
No wonder kids grow up to be so inhumane we start wondering what happened to them for them to turn out to be horrifying beings..it goes down to this...the torture they went through as kids made them become worse than their actuall monsters..
Parents parents parents we are so fortunate to have reporters to give us in fomation about wicked people be careful who you put in charge of your children you may live to regret it
These poor boys. Every day I take for granted what these boys are struggling for...peace. My only hope is these boys continue to heal and Sudan encourages rightful infrastructure.
My heart is heavy after watching this.
Discipline is key but brutality is just evil and against any teachings of the prophet PBUH
Why do people send their children to these places knowing what happens. My heart breaks for these kids. Smh unbelievable 😭
I just don't get this at all... it's just cruelty.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GOVERNMENT CLOSE THIS PLACE DOWN NOW! I'M IN TEARS WATCHING THIS OH MY GOODNESS I DON'T THINK I CAN WATCH UNTIL THE END THIS IS HOW MUCH THIS HAS AFFECTED ME😢😢😢😢
How as a parent do you get brain washed by anyone regardless of whatever conviction to let such atrocities happen to your child.
Parents are the first line of defence and protection for children BEFORE ANY RELIGION or STATE.
They are brainwashed to be Muslim, none of them choose their religion, they are born into it and assaulted if they try to renounce it.
I'm crying like a baby for those children right now. Thank BBC and you the Investigative Journalist for the coverage. These Malams/teachers are criminals, heartless, and soulless that do not care about children, and they are children and People's abusers.
Now more than ever, homeschool your children seems to be a universal statement being made world-wide.
We really should listen to our children and take them seriously when they open to us.
Vry wise words
The parents are to blame! How do you just leave your young child for months without checking in? If your child says he is been abused, check for signs! Scars don’t magically show up on a child’s body!
I feel so sorry for the boys! The judge should have passed a guilty verdict after 3 no shows! The whole system is corrupt and all the “officials” are useless.
I agree the parents among many others are to blame. Especially the people running the "school" and the school' funding source.
Especially when they were well aware of the horrors that goes with that cult prison
The parents are victims also of a very broken system.
Parents believe men of religion have no fault and therefore do not believe their own children when told of the abuse.
The parents were raised the same way, attended these same boarding schools, and probably faced more brutal punishments- without any outlet to complain or even allowed to have an opinion on the actions of adults. Don't be so quick to judge.
These “schools” are in Senegal too but I have never seen or heard of abuse to this extent. When I asked a family member of mine “Why is it that the government cannot enforce a ban against these “schools” or introduce some kind of surveillance/laws that will regulate how things are done?” The response was simply that this is so deeply rooted in our culture/society, whomever was to try to speak against these religious leaders will suffer severe consequences.
@Luqman Osman but you want Arab culture?
These schools are everywhere and in all countries legal and illegally.
@Allen Anderson www.bishop-accountability.org/AbuseTracker/
@@mscris503 No way would this happen in western countries. If the cops or child services saw kids being chained up and scars all over the body, they would be shut down immediately and the teachers would be charged with crimes.
Thats the difference between the west and Islamic countries. Authorities will act in western countries., in Islamic countries authorities will not act because they are part of the same religious system, and there is a lot of fear, threats and intimidation in Islam.
Your right, I've never heard of these schools in better developed countries, but it's not to say that the abuse is everywhere, just not to that extent, but we deal with more of the parents who do the most harm to their own children.
The rage I'm feeling inside... Can't describe
Wow. This channel is a true eye opener and very heart wrenching! The pain in that boys eyes tell you what he can’t say! The horrors of reality.
why would you bring a child into this world, just to send him to a place like that?
The parent at 09:12 is not serious. So after reading and hearing all these stories, he still proceeded to take his son to one of these khalwas. FFS 🙄
You never believe it until it happens to you
He was aware it happens but didn't think it was that close to home. Majority of these people are poor and it's the only chance to give their kids an education.
Bro even the rape charges weren't enough to scare the parents
It’s so sad wlh those Innocent Children needs justice🙏🥺
Among the Saddest documentary I've ever watched
Same thing going on in northern nigerian, BBC pls do Investigate.
Knowing such things are happening to innocent children hurts my heart. Imagine being so isolated that you no longer remember how to talk!. These are sadists using religion as a shield to justify their actions.
Ok I lasted 54 seconds. Hearing those slaps and the child screaming was enough for me.
It's 2020 how the hell is this shit actually happening!!!!
In Africa this is the tip of the ice burg.
Welcome to most of the world.
Islam =The blood Thristy beast within.
Only Islam Unlishes true Evil among it's subjects followers believers act.
The same way it has happened in all places at all times throughout history.
the injury decrption stated to make me faint
Omg, my heart 💔 I just want to give these innocent children a hug & tell them everything will be okay. Is there any way we can help them? i.e send them money or clothes?! 😓😢
This is just atrocious.
This is Satan playground😭😭😭😭how can people who pray5 times a day be this evil💔💔💔💔
Against the Quran? Give me one ayat in Quran that said to chain people.
None.

Wallahi. That's so sad!
I weep for Mama Africa 😭❤️
Don't weep, DO SOMETHING, I AM..MANY ARE.
Me I blame the ignorance of the family how do you as a parent your child tells you that they are being mistreated and you don't believe.
They do it it hopes of a better lifefor their kids. False hope
Religion is how, they are afraid because of the intense brainwashing they themselves went through as a child
Most african parents don't listen sometimes
I have never seen such torture in my life...... Why dnt they just close all those the school this is pure evil and child abuse
Chains to paradise. Sad 😢. They should close this place down 😭😭
I don't understand why any sensible person would send a child to be raised by total strangers at such young ages. This is insane.
Culture, is called culture. And it's all about it.
God, there is so much injustice in the world. Heart breaking to the very core.
I really hope these boys get psychological help. I can imagine some of them really resenting their parents as well. I'm also wondering when the parents send them, do they not ask around or go to the place. It's a month's plus program.
I can’t believe there is so much evil in this world. These poor children deserve better and I haven’t even watch the video yet.
I'd like to go chill on the "south side" 🇸🇩 Sudan. I have a very nice friend from Sudan. Much love to to you all. This however, is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING what they are doing to these poor little children😭 The parents need to be jailed as well. That boy should've taken all the 40,000 money instead of that disgraceful mother taking it and just started his own life FAR AWAY from his messed up family. This is beyond evil!!
