ARAB SLAVE TRADE Slavery has been part of every epoch of human existence on earth since the advent of agriculture as a unit of the society. Every group of people in history had had a word that represented slavery and enslavement. The trans-atlantic slave was Unequal in its cruelty and dehumanization but it was not the first in history. There was the Arab Slave trade that preceded it. The moslems were known to have captured millions of people from Europe and sold them as slaves in North Africa and the Arabian peninsula. Slavery was not a state institution then, it was like the lucrative drug enterprise of today; 'a large but lawless society' that was not instituted by the state, although some bad kings and rulers participated in it. In the 15th century, kings, especially in Europe began to introduce laws on the enslavement of one by another; like a kind of rules of engagement. This helped in freeing Europe from the shackles of the Arab Slave trade and gradually slavery was focused on the southern Sahara and the Sudan. Slavery became a state institution only when Europeans joined-in, after the discovery of the Americas, with the Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and British royal houses in the forefront. But it wasn't the Europeans that made it possible, it was the Arabs, with an islamist agenda and some African kings, mostly those that had embraced Islam, that made it much more easier for the Europeans to successfully re-focus slavery on Africans... For example, Mansa Musa of Mali had over 12,000 slaves he owned and exploited as of 1325 CE. Mulai Ismail of Merknes had over 25,000 Europeans as slaves. This was before the Portuguese first sailed to Africa. Among the Igbo people of the Bight of Biafra in present-day south-east Nigeria, a cast of enslaved people were known as 'osu', the descendants of these 'osu' are still known Among these people till date. Deception through religion and brutal force made it possible. Europe, had stepped out of the dire conditions of the 'dark ages'... hungry and desperate, took Slavery 'over the fence' with the dehumanization and cruelties that characterized the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Not every African society knew slavery before the coming of Europeans, but the anthropological fact that there had existed a word for slavery in their languages, suggested that slavery had existed among them, in one form or another before the coming of the Arabs in the 7th century CE and the Europeans in the 15th century CE. #Africa

History trivia: Did you know that 400 years ago, before the Transatlantic slave trade where nearly 12 million people (mostly west Africans) were enslaved and forcefully shipped to the US, Muslim Arabs were involved in the same trade but sent slaves from East Africa to North Africa and the Middle East? However there is little discussion over that period experts say. What could be the reason for that?🤔 #Africa

Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources. More than 60% of the world’s cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones. Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless. Multinationals mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

This rare photo captures the early construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, a pivotal moment in the development of San Francisco's transportation infrastructure. In 1848, the city's population was meager, with fewer than 500 residents. However, the Gold Rush in 1849 led to a tenfold increase in population. By the early 1900s, the Bay Region had reached a million inhabitants, necessitating the development of a major north-south highway. Highway 101 was the key to establishing a viable statewide transportation route, but it required a bridge to span the Golden Gate. Advancements in civil engineering during the early 1900s opened the door to designing and constructing long-span bridges. The notion of a grand bridge across the Golden Gate, once thought impossible, suddenly became a potential reality. Despite facing political opposition, limited funds due to the Great Depression that began in 1929, and the daunting physical challenges of bridging a mile-wide stretch of water, the residents of six northern California counties made the bold decision to finance the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. The construction officially commenced on January 5, 1933, accompanied by a grand groundbreaking ceremony held on February 26, 1933, which drew an estimated 100,000 attendees. It was an event of great significance, as it marked the realization of a remarkable engineering feat. The San Francisco newspaper reported the next day that "Two hundred and fifty carrier pigeons, provided by the San Francisco Racing Pigeon Club to carry the message of groundbreaking to every corner of California, were so frightened by the surging human mass that small boys had to crawl into their compartments in the bridge replica to shoo them out with sticks." The construction process took four years to complete. The Golden Gate Bridge was officially opened on May 27, 1937, becoming the longest bridge span in the world at that time. The day before the official opening, 200,000 people partook in the first public crossing, walking, running, and even roller-skating across the newly constructed bridge. This iconic structure remains a symbol of engineering achievement and a vital part of San Francisco's history.

'Egypt had always been recognised as a Negro country. This opinion did not change until the day it was recognised with amazement that Egypt was the mother of all civilization. Then eyesight suddenly improved and it was possible to distinguish, on the frescoes where everyone had previously recognised Negroes, Evidence of A 'white race with red skin', A 'white race with dark red skin', A ' white race with black skin' But they never distinguished as Egyptian, a white race with white skin' Cheikh Anta Diop The African Origin of Civilization

On this day in 1935, Ethiopia, one of the only two independent African nations at the time, was invaded by fascist Italy under Benito Mussolini. The Italians were seeking revenge for their priorhumiliating loss to Ethiopia over 40 years earlier, committed countless atrocities on the independent African state. Poisonous gas, aerial bomabrdment, flame throwers and concentration camps were all employed against the ill equipped Ethiopian people. Black outrage throughout the world was unified. The League of Nations, forerunner to the UN, was criticized sharply for supplying weapons to Italy and not to Ethiopia. Such actions confirmed Black suspicion that the war was of racial motivation and sought to extinguish the last light of African power in the world. From Kingston to Johannesburg, from Detroit to Ghana, form Port-of-Spain to Paris, Black men and women offered to go fight in defense of Ethiopia. And as battles raged between Ethiopians and Italians in Africa, battles raged between Blacks and Italians in the streets of New York. In South Africa, Black workers began a lengthy march up the continent to assist their African brothers in Ethiopia. Elsewhere, ex-service men discarded their European and American citizenships to bring their military expertise to the defense of Ethiopia. The exiled Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie became a near legendary figure to many. Not before or ever since was such a strong sense of Pan-Africanism seen throughout the world. And though Italy succeeded in defeating the African nation, Blacks everywhere would continue the struggle until Ethiopia was free. 🖋️if you love our content, please consider supporting our page on AfricanArchives.Support (follow the ko-fi page too for weekly posts roundup)
