    This article discusses how slavery in Africa is an ancient practice that it can be traced back two millennia and puts emphasis on how humans were part of cargo in trades that would be conducted between Africa and Eurasia along with ivory, gold and other commodities. The article then continues to discuss the impact slavery now has on Africa (the aftermath of slavery), putting emphasis on East Africa.

    This image depicts how Africans were traded from several parts of Africa to East Africa. This image also shows how a large number of slaves died, according to scientific evidence approximately three out of four slaves died from hunger, disease or tiredness before reaching the market.

  • In the transatlantic slave trade the demand was for labourers to work on plantations and in mines, and mostly men were captured to supply the demand
  • Slaves taken to the Middle East and North Africa were not just from Africa. Until about 1500, slaves were also bought from northern Europe, but as this supply route dried up the numbers bought from Africa increased.
  • In the eastern slave trade enslaved Africans were taken from the east coast of Africa (the modern countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and the island of Madagascar). They also came from the Savannah area (which includes countries such as Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan) and the Horn of Africa (which covers Djibouti, Somalia and Ethiopia). Slaves were sold to merchants from North Africa and the Middle East. The women slaves in this trade often married their masters, or had children by them and the children were often freed by their fathers. Over time, the enslaved Africans tended to become part of the local population.

  • There are no records for the number of enslaved Africans sold before the 17th century from the Savannah area of Africa (which includes countries such as Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan) and the Horn of Africa (which covers Djibouti, Somalia and Ethiopia). It is estimated that in the 17th century, about 10,000 slaves per year were sold to North Africa and the Middle East. There was a large domestic slave population in this area and slavery was an accepted form of labour amongst the rulers of the different kingdoms.
  • The numbers of enslaved Africans sold to these areas increased in the late 18th century. This was because French merchants bought slaves from East Africa for the growing sugar plantations on the French owned islands in the Indian Ocean.
