Did somalis enslave people or did somalis get enslaved?

[captain mali]

Pepz I'm kinda confused. Did somalis get enslaved or did somalis enslave?

 

[Apollo]

As a group Somalis did not get enslaved en mass. There may have been individual cases (of course) who got trafficked but that happened to every single ethnicity on the planet.

Somalis did not engage in mass scale slavery. The slaves from Zanzibar were brought over by Arabs and/or Persians.

 

[captain mali]

So somalia was a market where they were sold?

More like dumped.

Look at a map. Somalia is in between Zanzibar and Oman. While they were shipping their loot from Zanzibar they dropped off some in Somalia.

Some Somalis did enslave people.

Mainly the 'original' inhabitants of south Somalia....


I watched a video on YouTube of a Madowweyne clan praising their former masters.

I can't find a video but it was a typical Somali gabey (poem) saying good things about them...

I refuse to believe that. In the case that they really did do it i) probably after having copied it from Arabs ii) as subsidiaries of Arab merchants.

Accepting Somali involvement in the Madowweyne slave trade is a dangerous thing as it will turn them into perpetual victims blaming Somalis. Even it was true, still deny it.

Somalis were apart of the Arab Slave trade and were customers looking to buy slaves

They weren't dumped, they were bought by some Somali clans(Abgaal, Geledi, Biimaal, Ajuuran etc). The Italians then freed them from slavery.

Some of the Madow will claim their former masters qabil (in the south some madibaan also do this for protection) so there is really no denying it. Most of the clans that did it got their just desserts, they're either nonexistent, kicked out of somalias national border and have had to ally with oromo, or completely politically irrelevant.

This is why when it comes down to it..... I'm from mudug...... and then from awdal...

Somalis north of hiiran have nothing to do with it...

A Somali never got enslaved but we use to enslave slaves from Tanzania(that is what I heard and read)

 

[DeathWish]

We enslaved the Hebrews in Ancient times. May Allah forgive our ancestors and give solace to my ancestors!

 

[Bahal]

The Biyomaal, Rahanweyn (especially Digil iirc) and Abgaal we're huge slavers of the Bantu.

Certain Darood clans (who I will not mention) preferred Oromo slaves.

Look at this clown. We should enslave all xamar cadcads, barwanis and bantus that live in somalia. Its either that or go back to where you came from.

Would wadaadkeenii wacna allah u naxariisto mujahid adolph hitler spare a half jew? No. We need to get rid of non-ethnic somalis.
