Today, an estimated 529,000 to 869,000 black men, women, and children are still slaves. They are bought, owned, sold, and traded by Arab and Muslim masters in five African countries. This statistic estimates those enslaved in Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, and Sudan. It excludes Nigeria, for which there are no tangible estimates.

Western human rights organizations and the mainstream media are practically and painfully silent on this matter. It does not fit with their focus on Western white sin. Here is a brief survey of this quasi-taboo topic.

Sudan

In Sudan, slavery remains a painful vestige of the Second Sudanese Civil War (1983–2005). That’s when the Arab Muslim government in the north of the country declared a jihad upon the black, largely Christian south. They killed perhaps 2.5 million people and enslaved as many as 200,000.

Slaves rescued by grassroots abolitionists tell horrific stories. Abduction. Beatings. Forced conversion to Islam. Grueling labor. Female genital mutilation. Malnutrition. Rape.

Slaves rescued by grassroots abolitionists tell horrific stories.

The war ended in 2005. Black South Sudan became the world’s newest nation on July 9, 2011. Still, many black slaves remain the property of Arab masters across the new border in the north. The exact number is not known. As of 2006, James Aguer Alic, a former Sudanese government minister, estimated that it could be as high as 35,000.

Mauritania

In Mauritania, the very structure of society reinforces slavery. Over the centuries a cruel class system has evolved. The lighter-skinned Arabs (beydanes) and Arabized Berbers rule over the black former slaves. Those slaves have been forcibly Arabized over time (haratin). The free blacks in the south who refuse Arabization and call themselves “Negro-Africans” and the black chattel slave class (abid) are at the bottom. The country is entirely Muslim. Islam theoretically forbids the enslavement of one Muslim by another. However, in this case, Arab racism supersedes adherence to the Shari‘ah (Islamic law).

In 1993, a U.S. State Department reportestimated that between 30,000 and 90,000 blacks lived as slaves owned by private masters. In 2012, a CNN investigation estimated that the number could be as high as 340,000 to 680,000.

No slave markets exist in Mauritania. All slaves are born in masters’ households. Pregnancy occurs from the master’s insemination of black slave women, or through mandated “breeding” of slave couples. In the absence of open markets, slaves change hands quietly in individual sales. They’re also traded as substitutes for money in the settling of gambling debts. They can even be rented.

Algeria and Libya

Sub-Saharan Africans fleeing violence and poverty for Europe are enslaved by Algerian and Libyan Arabs as they try to cross the Mediterranean. Today, according to the Global Slavery Index, around 106,000 black Africans are estimated to be enslaved in Algeria.

Migrant women, but also children (both male and female), risk being forced into sexual slavery. Men perform unskilled labor. Those who avoid slavery are also subjected to virulent Arab racism. This was recently confirmed by a recent New York Times report. This further marginalizes the already destitute.

Africans hoping for a better life in Europe also travel to Libya to be trafficked across the Mediterranean, often to Italy. Once there, some are enslaved by local Arabs and traffickers. As of 2016, according to the U.N., there are between 700,000 and 1 million black African migrants in Libya. The Global Slavery Index estimates many as 48,000 of them live as slaves of some nature. Survivors report torture, sextrafficking and slavery. Some are even forced to become prostitutes only afterthey have reached their destinations.

The slave trade in Libya became international news when CNN obtained video of an actual slave auction in 2017.

Nigeria

In Nigeria, the long-running civil war between the Muslim majority and the 40% Christian minority involves the enslavement of Christian Nigerians. The taking of Christian slaves has become a source of compensation for Islamic fighters.

The recent rise of jihad organizations like ISIS affiliate Boko Haram has been the main source of contemporary slave raids. The most infamous incident of a slave raid was Boko Haram’s abduction of 276 Christian schoolgirls. It happened in the town of Chibok on April 14, 2014. It inspired Michelle Obama’s “#BringBackOurGirls” hashtag. Most slaves are young girls, kidnapped and kept as the concubines of the Islamic soldiers. Some of those prefer to become suicidebombers to escape the life of a sex slave.

Though the U.S. State Department’s 2018 human rights report on Nigeria mentions that the number of slaves captured and owned by Boko Haram terrorists today could be in the thousands, the full number is as of now “unknown.”

Ftc i'll wait till This gets to FP Before i tell what's on my mind

Slavery was abolished in Northern Nigeria in 1936!

Islam promotes slavery.

The groundnut pyramids were as a result of slave plantations owned by powerful northern Amirs and Oligarchs.

Even Dangote's maternal grandfather (Dantata) made his money from operating slave plantations in the north. His name Dantata was a nickname given to him for his closeness to a slave woman who nursed and raised him.

It really gets the noggin joggin when you think about it. Slavery today also takes subtle forms like hunan tracking. Fenales are lured by captors by offering them maid jobs in other countries them they're bought sold as sex slaves. These issues can only be addressed by having strong military force as well as economic development domestically

The ideological reasons for slavery in those countries is religious and cultural. There's hardly economic reason to own slaves when you can get wage slave or machine. I would think legal prostitution would suffice but these guys want power.

Slavery is not only permitted in Islam but integral.
Black Africans are considered sub-human in Islam.

The Arab word (Abd), for slave and a black African are synonymous.

Slavery is not about being chained or sold.. If you can not think for yourself, make a critical decisions by yourself, consciously aware of right from wrong, then you are a slave

The people who traffic humans in Nigeria are mostly Edo and Igbo Christians. So, if a Christian sells his fellow Christian brother to an Arab Muslim as Slave, whom do you blame. I think Igbo Shiites have psychiatric disorders.

You can lie.

The last slave auction in Mecca was around 1967!

Buying a slave in one of the many slave bazaars and auction halls around the Mecca mosque was seen as "good fortune".

Saudi Arabia only officially abolished slavery in 1967!

Young Princes would have an African slave boy of the same age sometimes as young as two who will be raised side by side with the Arab prince. The African slave will be groomed to be the Prince's bodyguard. This was not only reserved for princes but wealthy Arabs as well. Most of these bodyguard slaves are sourced from Hausa Muslims in Nigeria.

If in doubt, check all the personal bodyguards of wealthy Arab shieks and princes and you will see they are black and from Africa, northern Nigeria to be precise.

99.9% of women trafficked and sold into slavery in the middle east are Yorubas.

They will narrate to you how one Taiwo or Folake deceived them.

How can an Igbo be trafficking women to Saudi Arabia or any Muslim golf state when they are not allowed to even enter the country.


The Bini trafficking network is mostly in Europe and not the ME.

The slave trade in Libya became international news when CNN obtained video of an actual slave auction in 2017.

Im not sure the slave trade was prominent until the Gadaffi regime was toppled. It was idiotic of western poweers to oust him. It lead to a lot of blowback. The migrant crisis is direct result because a strong government couldn't stop the nonsense.

The recent rise of jihad organizations like ISIS affiliate Boko Haram has been the main source of contemporary slave raids.

Boko haram is most notable but there's others sex slavery going on. In cross river there's money wives. If anyone feels like being an abolitionist they should head there to eradicate that disgusting practice.

Still, many black slaves remain the property of Arab masters across the new border in the north. The exact number is not known.

Francis Bok wrote a book on this topic. Its still very much an issue. You guys can watch his interview below.

Then who? The Arab muslim?

FYI, the trans-atlantic slave trade was dominated by Jews.

Jew banksters financed slave expeditions to Africa to capture and buy slaves.

These slaves will then be transported on Jewish owned slave ships captained and manned by mostly Jews to be sold in slave auction houses in the Americas operated by Jews. The Jews even owned most of the biggest plantations which produced cotton to be sold to Jewish owned cotton weaving Mills.

The jew even operated Slave schools where younger Jews will learn the slave trade.
