@Ras, thanks for telling us about the atrocities committed by the Europeans against us. I will not even bore you with the Trans Saharan Slave Trade. I will I, plead with you to give us a lecture about the benign treatment that your Arab Worshippers bestowed on us. Of course, I do not expect you as a Muslim to see it as worse than a holocaust but a benevolent gift from Muslims to Savages in Africa.. Cheers!

Arab slavery in East Africa, spanning roughly from the 7th to the 20th century, involved the capture and trafficking of millions of sub-Saharan Africans, predominantly through the Indian Ocean and Red Sea routes. Centralized in Zanzibar and the Swahili Coast, it was driven by Arab traders to meet demands for plantation laborers, domestic servants, and soldiers in the Middle East.
Key Aspects of Arab Slavery in East Africa.

Scale and Duration: Running from the 7th century until the early 20th century, the trade saw an estimated 10 to 18 million Africans trafficked, with Zanzibar serving as the key hub by the 19th century.

Routes and Destinations: Slaves were transported from the East African interior to the coast, then shipped to destinations including Oman, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, India, and Indian Ocean islands.

Zanzibar and the Swahili Coast: By the 19th century, increased demand for cloves and coconut plantations under Omani Arab rule made Zanzibar a major center, where up to two-thirds of the population was enslaved.

Purpose of Enslavement: Enslaved people were used for agricultural labour, household service, military service, and as concubines.

Abolition: Pressure from Britain forced the sultanate of Zanzibar to restrict and eventually abolish the slave trade through treaties between 1822 and 1897, with final emancipation of slaves occurring in 1909.

Impact on the Region.

The trade had a devastating impact on East African societies, causing significant loss of life and fueling regional instability. It established the Swahili culture through the mixing of Arab and coastal African populations. The trade also caused massive population declines, as slaves were often captured from the interior, carrying ivory and other goods to the coast.
