“Africa currently has the highest prevalency of modern-day slavery, four hundred years since the transaltantic slave trade began during the 15th century….Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Ghana to mark its ‘Year of the Return’ in observance of the 400th anniversary of the first African slaves being brought to the United States.” ‘
The forgotten truth is that it was Muslim Arabs who were the first slave traders, and black slavery by Muslims in several African countries continues to this day. But the plight of black African slaves is ignored by progressives, including Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia. Rather than call out black slavery and the Arab Muslim racism and teachings of the Qur’an and Muhammad that support it, Omar prefers to attack Israel as an apartheid state that deserves Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). (Meanwhile, for a quick, telling history lesson on how far Israeli military agents went to smuggle and rescue thousands of black Ethiopian Jews out of jihad-ravaged Sudanese refugee camps and bring them to their homeland Israel, watch on Netflix The Red Sea Diving Resort.)
“The Arab slave trade was characterized by appalling violence, castration, and rape. The men were systematically castrated to prevent them from reproducing and becoming a stock. This inhumane practice resulted in a high death rate: six out of 10 people who were mutilated died from their wounds in castration centers. The Arab slave trade also targeted African women and girls, who were captured and deported for use as sex slaves.”
Western anti-racism charlatans, Islamic supremacists whose obsession is “Islamophobia,” and Black Lives Matter continue to ignore the suffering of black slaves still being held by Muslim Arabs. In this context, black lives don’t matter to them.
“Slavery Prevalent in Africa 400 Years After Transatlantic Trade Began,” by Amy Furr, Breitbart, August 8, 2019:
Africa currently has the highest prevalency of modern-day slavery, four hundred years since the transaltantic [sic] slave trade began during the 15th century.
Reports state that seven out of every 1,000 Africans are victims of the terrible practice. Slavery is defined as “situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, deception, and/or abuse of power,” in a report by the by human rights group Walk Free Foundation and the International Labour Office.
In 2017, the Global Slavery Index listed Eritrea, Burundi, the Central African Republic, Mauritania, and South Sudan on its list of the 10 countries with the highest prevalance of slavery.
The website states:
It is a confronting reality that even in the present day, men, women and children all over the world remain victims of modern slavery. They are bought and sold in public markets, forced to marry against their will and provide labour under the guise of “marriage,” forced to work inside clandestine factories on the promise of a salary that is often withheld, or on fishing boats where men and boys toil under threats of violence. They are forced to work on construction sites, in stores, on farms, or in homes as maids. Labour extracted through force, coercion, or threats produces some of the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the footballs we kick. The minerals that men, women, and children have been made to extract from mines find their way into cosmetics, electronics, and cars, among many other products.
Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Ghana to mark its “Year of the Return” in observance of the 400th anniversary of the first African slaves being brought to the United States.
“At Cape Coast Castle we stood before The Door of No Return, where countless millions caught their last glimpse of Africa before they were shipped to a life of enslavement,” Pelosi commented.
Reports state that the African continent received global attention in recent years after videos surfaced online allegedly showing modern “slave markets” in Libya where people were auctioned off in garages and public squares…..
