East african slave trade

“That is my opinion”
People really just say anything on the internet without a single piece of historical evidence.

I think Somalis were slave since arabs colonise Somalis and their land ruled and controlled

what the hell brother, carabs never colonised us.

they like to rewrite the history of their region/neighbours to install a false sense of supremacy.

the reality is quite different.

the somali peninsula only lost independance for a couple of decades during colonialism ( we also waged the largest anti colonial resictance) our people were true warriors.

we never bend the knee to the carabs we used to send them aid when they were in need.
we also raid their slave strongholds on the swahili coast.

the arabs were never strong enough to conquer us one on one meaning not the khalifa but their independent kingdoms even the omani one never conquered any somali territory.

The early Islamic expansions only conquered Egypt and the Maghreb in Africa before moving on to Spain.
They never reached under the Sahara with an army much less East Africa. They only traded with the region with goods and slaves.

Arabs were the worst slave traders, ruthless and they use to castrate their slaves alive. How these guys were muslims is beyond me
Idk. Berbers were pretty much African nazis. My grandma’s people enslaved or “saved” anyone that’s wasn’t Arabs. We’re insane. We used slaves to guide our war elephants. The ancient Egyptians used slaves as fly catchers by covering them in honey. It’s a tie
 
These are both good sources for slavery in Somalia. You will need to set up accounts.

The whole anthony johnson thing is BS. It's true that he was a legal slave owner but it's false that he was the first one in the americas. There are documented cases of legal slavery years before him. Anthony Johnson was also a former slave himself so it doesn't disproof the fact that white people were the main slave owners in the americas. When Johnson died the colony of Virginia took away all of his land property because as black man he wasn't recognized as a citizen with equal property rights
Anyways in the 16th-17th century slavery was at it's beginning and didn't have the same racial connotation that it had in the 18th-19th century.

Weren't somali under arab empire tht claim to be khalifa which means arabs have control over somalis land whether businesses economic government and also arabs could take salis as slave since somalis were under their ruled ship
I think every nation was slave at se point
No. Somalis were never colonised by arabs.
The only arabs we had were traders in Mogadishu, Zeila, Barawe etc and they were not part of a khilaafa.
Zeila has been under ottoman influence and the south has been under omani influence in thd 19th century but at that point somalis were muslim for a really long time so ethnic somalis were never enslaved. It's possible that individual somalis may have been enslaved at some point in 7-8th century but there is zero evidence of somalis being subject to mass enslavement.
All people have been slaves at some point but when it comes to somalis we experienced slavery less than european whites (spanish, italians but also some french and brits) who were often enslaved and sold by northafrican pirates for centuries.

Wasn’t it the opposite didnt the geledi sultanate conquer Omani land in Zanzibar which was their capital at the time and colonise them??

He was still kinda a dick, though. He hustled indentured servants into slavery. There’s nice white slave owners, too. Black slaves were expensive .
 
Are our noses 2-4 meters long?
Arabs are known for their small triangle anime noses. Arabs are seen as white . That’s why the racial slur from them is sand .
Just look at this aryan sand Kang here:

@Ebuo . Somalis don’t look Arabic. You can make that argument with the Sudanese or Berbers. Berbers are kinda tricky because while they was a lot of intermixing between the two, we share a common ancestor. I think Somalis are distantly related to certain Arabs.
Berbers to Arabs: it’s like 2 people sharing the same grandparents
Somalis to Arabs: it’s like 2 people sharing a common paternal ancestor from 6 generations ago
