ORIGINS: Tales and secrets of Fort Jesus in Mombasa, Kenya. War, treachery & rebellion

Whole of the 16th century were, no doubt, tough times to live through with people living in horrific and devastating battles over ivory, slaves and trade routes. But for the less than 1% who occupied Fort Jesus, times were not all that bad. After-all who would not want to live in a castles.
Fort Jesus built over 400 years ago was a simple for power.

Thank you so much Chama cha Viwanda. We really appreciate your support.

[@sohrabtajadin3402]

Please go back and study History. You forgot the role of BALUCHIS!!! Without Baluchi soldiers fighting off the Portuguese, Kenya today would have become another Angola or Mozambique

[@filbao8113]

Yap

[@vickomen333]

worth noting btw

[@bintf4345]

Omanis too. There was a dispute between malindi and msa one didnt welcome the Portuguese and one did so that caused a conflict between the malindi people and Mombasa people and gave way to the Portuguese to make their way in to the country. They then had asked their fellow omani traders for help.

Hiyo si Fort Jesus the real name is Ngome ya Mvita.

Most interesting is how you got a drone into Kenya to take those drone shots. Drones are illegal here

Wow🔥🔥

[@vickomen333]

There's usually huge misconception surrounding the so-called point of no return. Whereas the Goree one in Senegal was purposely used for that, the one in Fort Jesus did not in fact served the function claimed in the video. I have done continous research on the same and this is actually factual.

Its immensely unfortunate in this whole narration there is no mention of the unfathomable brutality,slavery,terror and subjugation of the the locals by the Portuguese for centuries until the Omani Arabs came to their rescue....

[@bushraudeth4795]

Have been looking for this comment brother. This is no history. This is a make up story. How unfortunate!!!

[@msafiri6861]

Omanis did not rescue the locals. They actually revitalized the slave trade. Their main business was slave trading. They sent them to the middle east to not only work in the fields, but also castrated the male slaves to be used as harem guards (sexual mates for the nobles). The female slaves were also used as sex slaves. They were exploiters just like the Portuguese before them and the British after them.

[@lenniefei6710]

@@msafiri6861 Please avail any shred evidence if any of your lame,untruthful submission of your assertion!!!

[@msafiri6861]

It's a well known fact of history, it doesn't take a genius to find the history of Swahili Coast and the horrors of the slave trade during the Omani rule.
Stone town/Mjiwe in Zanzibar was the largest slave market in the world. Slaves were brought from as far as Congo, this was all under the Sultanate. It was also the last one, the Sultanate started crashing after slavery, which was their bread and butter, was abolished.
Don't be lazy, information is all over the internet. Revisionist history is so insulting to the people who suffered the atrocities. Educate yourself.
