    A Kenyan migrant worker writes about his journey to Qatar, his delayed wages, and his dwindling excitement about the #Qatar2022 football World Cup. In his own words: “I came to Qatar to pursue my dreams but my life is a nightmare.” https://www.ipsnews.net/2020/08/came-work-qatar-pursue-dreams-life-nightmare/ …pic.twitter.com/woTVjAq4Q2

        #Qatar2022 is drawing closer, and the authorities have been making a lot of promises on rights of migrant workers in the past years. But what's the reality? New @hrw report + video coming up (August 24). Reporters can DM me for embargoed copy, interview requests etc. pic.twitter.com/pK5YPtcC11

        Unbelievable. Very inhuman and uncalled for. I wonder how they managed to get the rights to host the next world cup. Shame on Qatar

        For this Kenya worker, employed (more like exploited) in Qatar, you could fairly say his plight is like slavery, but without chains. Imagine 3 months lag in getting paid, working 7 days & 12 hour shifts standing & not having a day off in 6 months. Qatar is a modern day slaver.pic.twitter.com/TgJO47SY9O
